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.
the OCability depends on ur luck...some can do 3.6ghz on stock vcore some cant....good ones from C0 stepping can do 3.8-3.9ghz on stock vcore iirc... i owned two e8400 before n one of them stucked at 3.33ghz on stock vcore with the same mobo as u are using....while the other can hit 3.6ghz stable with the same mobo.....I see numerous guide saying that E8400 should be able to OC til 3.6 ghz @ stock voltage.

basically, it wud be advised not to pump over 1.4v for u e8400.... cos they have been few reports saying that their proc degraded after pumping over 1.4 vcore... personally, i have tried running with 1.4v (cpu-z idle reading) for few days n its still doing fine after a retest.... but do it at ur own risk
as for temp reading, i always take from realtemp for 45nm proc... n my idle normally is around 35-40 with the xigmatek s1283 red scorpion....normally idle temp wud be almost the same compared to the slightly higher vcore....
btw,u stress using blend test or small fft?
did u set ur ram to 1:1 ?
