P5N-D and e8400 overclock help please...
Hi,
I have the Asus P5N-D mainboard and the e8400 (3.0GHz / 1333fsb) and am having problems overclocking. Anyone here have that combo, and are successful overclocking to 3.6GHz? I'm able to get it to boot at 3.6GHz (after some non-boot, restart issues) but when I run prime95 to load test, it freezes the PC after about 2 minutes. I am running stock cooling from the e8400 retail package. Here are my numbers: vco 3.5v HT: 1.4v NB: 1.4v SB: 1.6v Unlinked FSB: 1600 Memory: 800 Memory is Crucial Ballistix tracer (4x1GB) in all four slots timings: 4-4-4-12 memory voltage: 2.19v multiplier for CPU: 9x cpu thermal control: enabled C1e: enabled exec disable bit: enabled vitalization: disabled speedstep: enabled So, the question is, what settings will get me a stable 3.6GHz on stock cooling? my temps for the core at this level are 45c at idle, and 62c at load right before it freezes, so this doesn't seem to be TOO hot for what I'm trying to do. Do I lower the NB/SB/HT voltages? Raise them? What is HT voltage anyway? is it the termination voltage I am reading about. This board has different settings than what most other boards have, so I'm kind of confused here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Funex |

vco 3.5v Oops. That's pretty high! Meant to write 1.35v ;-) Funex |

I run a Q9450, overclocked to 3.4 ghz, on my EVGA 780i mb. First off, keep an eye on your core temps, especially running with the stock cooler. I am not sure on the HT voltage, if you have an auto setting for it, I would leave it at that. I run my NB ( SPP), at 1.45v My SB ( MCP), at 1.525v My cpu FSB - at 1.3v My vcore for my cpu, at 1.325v You may just have a bit of a voltage pig with your cpu, you may need to up it a notch or two above 1.35v, but again pay close attention to your core temps, you don't want them getting much above 65c under load like Prime 95 small FFt's. -- Don |
