Nomi929 · 19 Jul 2009 at 21:24

Hi Guyz,

I got my E8400 Overcloked to 4.5ghz.

Its stable, and passes almost all benchmarks.

But some how not stable in stress testing and sometimes crashes during Crysis.

Can u please help me in getting it more stable.

Here is the screenshot of my Bios Settings @ 4.5ghz.

So please guys, have a Look, and suggest me some changes.

Thanx in advance.

Best Regards.

No WaterCooling!

I am Using Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer!

Its E8400 E0 Overclocked to 4.5ghz.

Regarding vcore, less than that, system gives problems.

Well idle temp is around 45-47c.

Load is above 70c.

I am not using it 24.7. Just oced it to 4.5ghz for 2-3 hrs.

Now at 4ghz.

Will post screenshot of 4.5ghz temps etc.

Well, first of all, i ran it for just few time to tun benchmarks like winrar,3dmark06 and vantage. Thats it. but it was not unstable for normal use. didnt passed the stress testing.

For 24/7, i m at 4ghz with 1.28 vcore
