    Overclocking E8400 ,HDD Problem?

    Hello,

    have the following question:

    I have my E8400 overclocked to 4 GHz by raising the FSB to 445 MHz. The processor ran before 3 months with no problems to 3.6 GHz. The new 4 GHz PC also runs the Prime stable.The LED lit up my hard drive permanently, and after a short time, my Windows stop responding. After a reboot my POST screen i reported that both hard drives (connected via SATA2) are BAD status.I then followed by the clock back to 3.6 GHz reset and restart.Windows unable not boot. Then I removed the second disk, and Windows started normal (at 3.6 GHz).
    Now I do not know if this little problem with the overclocking has to do. The FSB is on 445 MHz, the PCI-E clock, I fixated on 100 MHZ. the normal PCI clock, I can not fix at 33 MHz, because my board does not have the appropriate setting. I once read that in this case, the PCI to PCI-E clock is coupled, then should not be overclocked.

    Can someone help me or knows this problem?

    Or is there no connection with the bars on my plate and a smart error was reported to have just a coincidence?

    hi,
    Because chances are usually very rare, it is closer your HDD controller (and more) and you overclock this was in itself and / or disks to the scrap. why the extremely over clock should not happen as the "normal" over clock, I do not understand.

    In any case, I would the FSB of 445 is no longer used.

    I assume. Be safe now to 3.6 GHz, and be happy.

    hi,
    Because of the power load may not participate more? I had already HDD problems because of insufficiant power supply. It has not even the power supply, even some motherboards are designed for something not in continuous operation.
