Ok here's my problem.
I see numerous guide saying that E8400 should be able to OC til 3.6 ghz @ stock voltage.
But mine can't even get me into the windows.
I got mine stable running orthos and prime95 @ 1.275vcore.
i tried 3.8 ghz @ 1.325vcore.
Is that too high ?
Anyone using the same configuration as me can guide me ?
Ok my 2nd problem is that when i turn on my pc , the bios health status says my core temp is 35-37 celcius.
When i get into windows i start on core temp it shows my core temp is 50 at idle.
Ok another is that when i change my vcore in bios back to the optimized setting. running @ 3.0.
The core temp programme stil says i idle at 49-50 celcius ! is this posible ?
My bios is only showing 33-35 celcius
But when i use Real-temp and SensorViewPro they show my core temp is at 40 - 42 celcius at idle.
May i know which one is rite and which one is wrong ??
I running on windows vista.
