Right then. First week of exams are over and i've found a couple of hours 'spare' that I'd rather like to get the most out of my new cpu with. Tried cheekily on my second boot with the new core to get 3.8ghz out of it (took me a half hour to get the ac cpu cooler in so i figured i'd give it a shot) but to no avail.

So. Using my spec below. Who can guess / use their wide knowledge of overclocking to suggest the best settings for a decent, stable oc? :D
 
Just been trying now. Doesn't like it, just tried to reboot about 6 times then eventually started again with default settings. Had that problem with the E2200, nice little feature on the ds3r (or all mobos?) it seems to wipe the cmos, or atleast the most recent settings. Any other thoughts?

Oh, and what are the average temps for the e8400 on load? Just making sure the actual cpu is ok by running prime95 on torture, and the temps are between 53-58 celsius on 100% load.
