    Problem overclocking E8400 on EP45-DS3R Gigabyte & Corsair Dominator

    Hello everyone,

    Before buying, I read some where that the E8400 overclock it as anything.
    i have An E8400 with Corsair PC8500 Dominator 2x1Gb all on a Gigabyte EP45-DS3R.

    Problem is, impossible to climb above 3.2 Ghz.I've tried everything that i know.I once succeeded by a little amount of RAM vCore is getting in 3.5 Ghz, Vista starts but still recognizes as a 3Ghz @ 3Ghz (although it is on the CM to 3.5 Ghz) and I once asked a little effort, blue screen and dump I'd say it's from memory but it seems to me quite strange anyway.

    If someone could give me a little light, I would be extremely grateful

    its all about try and test hope you tried vCore auto, manual, the vCore of RAM auto, manual, a coefficient with a lower FSB above, a higher FSB with a lower coef if not then try it.

    Corsair is well in the configure without OC, if you can change it takes some Great Skill.And if not the Vram is what? I know my GSkill should be 2.10v to OC to 1.8 or its not working. if you set the frequency of the PCI-e to ~ 100MHz
    as you keep "auto", it rises along with the FSB ...

    This is the Vram is too low for your OC told you that I am to 2.10 for the validated PC8500, 1.8 is for the PC6400 then your problem is solved nomal.
