What can I realistically expect as a max OC?

[SS-89]

As per title for an e8200 cooled by a scythe ninja in a p5k-e Wifi coupled with 4gb OCZ 6400 plat xtc. (case: antec 300 with 4 120 sharkoon eagles at 1000rpm and 1 antec tri-cool 140 on low.)

I know obviously it depends on the chip itself, but just a ballpark figure so I know where to start come monday when it arrives.

Thanks for your help!

Round about the 3.6GHz mark, I'd say.

That's gonna be a sweet machine SS-89

I hope you can take some photos, I want to see a few builds in that new Antec case.

Also that ASUS mobo is really good, used it for 6 months approx and never had a problem with it!

Will do m8 although my cable management skills are non-existent I will be trying my best with this build I may push for 3.8 though Anyone know the fsb wall of the p5k-e and what's the max voltage to put through these 45nm?

 

[Bonjour]

You should be able to get 3.8 tbh.

As Promised! No bread I'm afraid , First actual concerted attempt at cable management...verdict= I suck

Very very quiet pc atm, 4 sharkoons are excellent

I've got my E8200 running at 444 x 8 (3.55GHz) @ 1.29v in BIOS, 1.27v in Windows and I didn't have to play with any of the other voltages. I reckon 3.8GHz should be obtainable but I've not tried as yet.

Both cores idling at 35 degrees which I assume is good enough for now? AS5 obviously has a cure in period.

Yep fine, mine are slightly lower but I've got a TRUE on my CPU and my system probably isn't as quiet as yours

hehe yes it is very quiet which is nice and makes a change as my other rig is fairly loud
