E4400 OC on stock volts?

My E4400 reaches 2.7GHz on stock volts, as the Asrock 4core dualVSTA has no Vcore adjustment in BIOS. At this on full load running Orthos on a warm day like today it only gets to 40C - Zalman CNPS9500AT cooler.

Is this a pretty poor OC on stock for this type of CPU? I was hoping for more :(
 
Likely your Asrock holding you back, they're not known for high FSB clocks, and i think 300FSB is about all its got in it. Got an Asrock conroe xfire as a RAID backup server and 300 is the limit as well, no matter how much more the chip ocs in another board at stock volts.

I'm only at 270 atm and I would think the board will go a bit further.
 
Ah sorry, thought you had an E4300 with a 9x multi. If you push past 270 what happens? If its a no boot at all i'd say it was board related, if just not stable i'd say either CPU or RAM starting to hit a wall at current voltage/timing.

Boots easily at 2.75GHz 275; runs super-PI 1M but fails orthos (blend) after about 2mins as the RAM is running at 170 - Patriot XBL 2x512 so I think must be lack of Vcore volts ;)

T - must go DR WHO!!!!!!
 
Sounds like CPU to me and quite honestly the latest batches of CPU's havn't exactly been the best of clockers, most needing at least a small voltage bump to get to 3.0GHz.

I have that motherboard, and I'm up to 290Mhz FSB, i've not tried going higher yet as I don't have the time to fiddle around...i've read on another forum though that with a pencil mod someone got the board up to 338Mhz
