Well, thanks to a few of you on this board last week i managed to buy a nice rig and this week managed to build it (barring a faulty DVD).

Managed to overclock it last night. Heres what im at :

E8500 @ 3.856Ghz
8Gb OCZ Gold (4x2Gb) @ 410Mhz
on an Asus P5E.

I will post some pics hopefully later of all the speed apps (Realtemp etc..) for somebody to tell me i can squeeze a bit more or maybe not !

I left most of the 0702 Bios settings to Auto so am still unsure what i can tweek or can't.

Reckon i can get a bit more out of it?

Max temps on my E8500 were 64c under Prime95 overnight (about 7 hours) running small fft. Not sure if thats too hot or not..
 
good to see you got it sorted

how did you find it overclocking?

was it as easy as i suggested in your last thread?
