the error ILLEGAL SUMOUT came after i increase 5mhz FSB..after that i reduce 5mhz FSB again and run Small FFts for 5 mins and everything is fine
i run Prime95 for 1 hour..in that time i increase my FSB by 5mhz for each 5 minutes to test my max clock i can go without vc0re adjusted

100 warnings in my Prime95?? is it the error:illegal sumout??im pretty new to this software
i suggest u OC at BIOS..let say u want OC your processor @3.5ghz <---set this in your bios.
If u want OC higher .Your target is @4ghz.Use Easytune6 to increase your FSB for overclocking..(try increase the FSB by 5mhz for each 5 minutes..if no errors in prime95,continue)
Once u get errors,reduce fsb by 5mhz. So this is your OC limit.
if u want higher(of couse) u must adjust the vcore, but i nvr try this ..

that's just my 2 cents.
if u dont understand..can try ask from other pro OC-er

Kingston Perfomance RAM PC2-6400(400mhz) 5-5-5-18 adjusted to 5-5-5-18
i just downclock my ram following the guide i read..huhu

a few questions


err..really need to run prime95 for 1 day?not so much apps/games require both core run 100%
but if choose LinX or IBT i just need to run for 30 mins??thats cool

and 1 more..how come ur FSB is 500 while ur cpu on just @4.1ghz
i just use fsb 463 to lock @4.1ghz

he is using E8400@4.1ghz same as mine
but his fsb is higher than mine..
nvm lol..i know he lower the multiplier

use CoreTemp..get the latest one..
i use it..so far no bug..

Eh..sorry i dont know about this..
do we need to watch other temps too??
does NB means Northbridge??
can tell me what this parts do..
TQ
