I have mounted Intel Core2 Duo E8400 processor on a Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3 with 2 x 1GB of Kingston HyperX PC8500 (voltage upto 2.2V).
I am trying to raise my E8400 in stages. I must say I am quite surprised because I have touched an exception of RAM to function at 3.2 x 333. I tested each time under OCCT.
My approach I kept the coefficient to 9 and raises the FSB gradually, for RAM I spent the coefficient to 2.4. The results, validated by OCCT 1 hour without error:
FSB 380; 390; 400; 410 -> OK
For temperatures: I am 42 in idle and the temperature tops out at 67 °C burn. These are 67 °C maximum temperature reached that I am at 390, 400 and 410 in FSB.
I am at 3.7GHz with default. Thing that surprises me the most is to have a FSB of 410 without having touched the Vcore!
Now what I want to ask is that:
- How should I proceed now, continue to increase the FSB without touching the Vcore? when will I see that the Vcore will no longer be enough?
- For the temperature: 67 °C in full is not at all too high? I will change the fan but I do not know what apps will take me there, in your view?
- When to overclock my Radeon HD4850, I have already used the utility catalyst control center, but this one tops out at 700MHz while it is stable at this frequency? What software utilizes you to validate settings?
