Just trying to get this OC going and am having some trouble, its a E4400, on a P5K with a Tuniq Tower, im trying to get it running at 400 x 8 but its not happening, Volts at 1.45, do i need to go higher?

Your northbridge may be a bottleneck, as may your memory. Which board and ram do you have?

Its an Asus P5k and 2Gb PC6400 Geil DDR2 RAM

If that's a 650i board - which from memory I believe it is you might try 1.4v or 1.5v through the northbridge.

As northbridges are not thermally protected please make sure it doesn't get too hot and do this at your own risk.

Still cant get it working, i can only get it to even load into windows at 400 x 6, if i go x7 wont even make it that far, im using most of the settings from this : http://forums.*****.net/showthread.php?t=110267

so i cant see what im doing wrong

anybody know what the problem could be?

I have managed that, but it realy doesnt like the FSB going any higher than 300.

i personally would lower the v-core voltage to about 1.3 my 6300 runs fine with the v-core at 1.25 @ 2.75, you maybe pumping to much through it tbh :confused:

I only pumped it up when i wasnt getting anywhere, so dont think its that

Yeah the E4xxx chips generally need more voltage to get to 3GHz, have you tried lowering the multi and then seeing how high a FSB you can get, as it might be a FSB limit with the chip.

I can get 400FSB at x6 Multi, with x7 wont even boot into windows

I need 1.45v at above 3 Ghz, you have a good HSF so a little more voltage would be ok... 1 need 1.55v at 3.5Ghz ! so up to 1.5 is ok to test.

I have a 650i chipset and I just leave all the northbridge and other CPU voltages on auto ... seems fine
