my current rig... everyday usage

Proc: Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 - 3.6Ghz, 6MB L2, 1800Mhz FSB (Hyper TX2)
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3 - Bios version F4A
GPU: HIS ATi Radeon HD4850 512 - 680Mhz Core (max 800Mhz), 1050Mhz Memory (max 1300Mhz), improved fan throttle settings (softmod)
Ram: Corsair XMS2 Twin2x2048-6400C5 - 900Mhz, 5-6-6-21, 2.2v
HDD: Western Digital 2xWD3200AAKS - RAID0-Stripe, 97MBps, 12.7ms
PSU: Vantec Real Power 500W

Bro, how come your RAIDO- stripe so low, mine i am getting 150-160MBps

dunno... my WD3200AAKS both is diff version... 1 bought mid last year and one just came back from RMA in december...
maybe thats the reason...

if you are using 32mb cache one... it makes some difference too

I am using 640g normal, n one 640g blue, both WD

whoaaa.3.6..then i should target mine 3.6 and above when i get a new ram soon

General_odin maybe you can try setting your hd accoustic to loud ( 254 ) instead of some come default at 128 accoustic. Go to winaam website to download the software.

Wanna ask.. why my E8500 show 3.16Ghz~2.83Ghz at system(control panel)?
Any idea?

ur multiplier change constantsly in cpu-z?last mine also does that.should turn off any power saving in cpu setting in bios

its EIST dohhhhhh.................

ohh... thx for advice... will check there soon

it's the annoying C1E or EIST function... head towards your bios and turn them off...
you can find them in the Advanced Bios Features section or something similar

now i cant go as far as 3.28.maybe my mobo or ram is limiting.
dunno what.du u guys think i should get a performance 800mhz ram or just normal 1066mhz value?i think either way can help me to improve my oc.seem my ram can go as far as 820mhz.increase vdimm to 1.9.

but value ram,not confident to raise higher voltage

Arigato!! Hehe.. Btw, wanna ask.. If i didn change the setting,did my proc run at 3.16Ghz? Or 2.83Ghz?

the proc will fully run 3.16Ghz..

owh.. ic.. the 2.83 ghz only display ar...?

no,it will not 'display' it.


but by disabling the C1E and EIST u lose the power saving function

Normally when you oc you disable the cie n eist function, n overclocker doesnt care about electricity consumption

Okay.. thx u.. i understood.. Domo Arigato!

i set my bus speed to 400mhz and multiplier 9x..so 400mhz x 9x =E8400@3.6ghz
and can anyone tell me what pci express frequency do??

PCI-E frequency doesn't help overclocking in terms of speed. However, it was reported that some overclockers tweak the PCI-E frequency to achieve stability in extreme overclocking. Also reported that high PCI-E frequency can damage your rig e.g. more than 120mhz.

For normal overclocking, it is advisable not to touch the PCI-E frequency.
