    Overclock Dual Core2 E 8500

    I have a CPU E 8500 3.16 GHz. Motherboard ASUS P5 Q PRO. I would like to know how I can overclock? I hesitate to use a dual Core 2 Quad Q 9550 2.83 ghz.

    I would be remiss if this Dual QUAD is compatible with my CM and whether it would be more powerful than the 8500 E overclocker?
    For info I have 4 GB of G. SKILL 8500 E DUAL CHANNEL and VISTA OS PRENIUM 64 BITS

    Graphics Card : SAPPHIRE Radeon HD4870 TOXIC 512 MB

    Mainly for games

    Thank you in advance for your answers

    For your E 8500 3.16 GHz you should target 4GHz. Max

    For overclocking E8500, you can consider with a minimum of skill and perseverance cover 4.5 GHz. Features according to the cooling and, of course, this batch of CPUs (all E8500 will not achieve the same frequency).

    Yes, but you told the frequency but it is not what it is cooling and is 4.5 ghz with watercooling.
    Searching the forums can help you to find your answers more quickly

    No I do not have watercolling. I have a box with a twelve hundred Noctua CPU fan NHU12P. I am not master in overclocking what i need is a sustainable and stable overclock without too much risk.

    Anyway, overclocking the bios is the best way to control its overclock

    So you advise me to do so by the BIOS is to reboot every time you change?

    Anyway, with the bios, once you set your overclock, you are affecting more and restart as many times as you want, the overclock will not move

    No problem, So if you want a lightweight and stable overclock, you can simply put your fsb to 380 and settle on your Dram frequency DDR2-800 (for now) after you do a occt if you want, but until you do no problem, it turns!
