ok to start heres my hardware...

e8400 2 duo E0 stepping
ram is here this is 2 sticks of the same

motherboard is a p5ql-pro
currently all runing at stock
im just confused about the ram timing been told to make it 1:1 ratio but dont know how to set that

been told i dont have to change voltages on cpu ...
not sure about ram...

this is on stock cooling btw...

idle temps read 35C and 40C on diff cores there stuck at them temp could be lower but thats the min my sensors read.. ( read up on it they dont this on purpose) anyways on full load core 1 reaches 61-64C and core 2 reaches 60-63C on full load.. dosent stay constant coz fan spins higher cooles it down slows down heats up cirlce begins lol

thought i d add i run a sapphire 5830
psu : ocz stealth x stream 2 500watt

im not looking for a big increase... just wot my cpu - ram can handle wihtout getting too high temps
 
You won't get much more on the stock cooler if you are already at 64 degrees.

Stock coolers are generally designed for stock usage and are not going to give you much overhead.

And to answer the question in your thread title... I'm not bothered.

link for the ram is dead.

you dont normally have to touch the vcore on that chip till you get to 4ghz and over (or at least i didnt)

your temps are high already

new link to ram http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/585/screenhunter02jun100256.png/
thats using prime 95 though... my temps never exceed 58C while gaming.
black ops , bf:bc2 , crysis and others

if it turns out the temps get over 70C while gaming
il turn it abck down till i get an aftermarket cooler
i just wanna test...
see if i can get it
only looking for 3.5-3.6 ill settle for 3.4

you cant test stability without using a stress test program. or at least give it a proper stability test without one

so if you get a good clock your also going to give it a good cook

your clock is going to be limited by the ram as well unless the ram is really good at clocking.

o why o why why wont anyone read...
ive said if it exceeds 70C ill turn back down and wait for an aftermakret coler i just wnna make sure my pc can do it and not get too hot,,,
i wont be using extra voltage because it dosent need it so wont be much extra temp if any
u let me worrie about temps and help me on wot i asked for

#1: Fill in your system information so others can better assist you!
To do that, click "User CP" at the top of the page -> "Add system" on the left, fill in the blanks and save. or use this link.
#2: It's Good Karma to honor others for their helpful post(s) with REP+ and remember to leave
your user name in the comment.
#3: Don't give up on your mobo user guide manual when looking for answers. It'll come in handy!

#4: Do not test overclocking when you have important tasks running. e.g. during installation(s), disk
defragmenting, burning CD/DVD, or with any unsaved important docs.
#5: The following BIOS settings you should change before further overclocking:
Manual AI Overclocking Tuner. (in order to set value for FSB Frequency)

Any value above default FSB Frequency.

AUTO CPU Ratio Setting (Otherwise set a value in range. AUTO is optional)

Smallest value DRAM Frequency. (be twice the value you've set for FSB Freq.)

Disabled DRAM Static Read Control.

Disabled DRAM Read Training.

Enabled MEM OC Charger.

Enabled Load-line Calibration.

Disabled CPU Spread Spectrum.

Disabled PCIE Spread Spectrum.

Performance for CPU Margin Enhancement.

AUTO AI Clock Twister (Otherwise, pick one from list such as Light)

AUTO AI Transaction Booster
(Otherwise, choose Manual, set Common Performance Level with a lower number, Enabled all pull-in phases.)
Disabled C1E Support, and C-State Tech. (Power saving features)

Disabled SpeedStep Tech., for fixed multiplier ratio (Enable it for power saving)

AUTO for the fields you don't know, otherwise, set specific values.
#6: Try set a 1:1 FSB to DRAM ratio if possible.
E.g. 1 MHz FSB freq. vs 2 MHz DRAM freq. = 1:1 ratio.

This is because FSB freq. (due to Quad Data Rate) is a result of rated FSB freq. divided by 4, and for DRAM freq. (due to Double Data Rate) is a result of rated DRAM freq. divided by 2.

Try only increase the FSB 5 or 10 MHz at a time. Don't do big leaps.
#7: 3 main factors drive overclocking: VCore, FSB Termination Voltage, and North Bridge Voltage.
Try increase voltages one baby step at a time.
#8: Absolute max safe VCore for Intel chips to run 24/7 is 1.4V, any voltage above that will
damage your CPU in the long run.
#9: Remember to have sufficient cooling in place before test overclocking.

#10: If your RAMs are not in the ASUS QVL, then try to give a bit more voltage and set looser
timings when RAMs are running at more than 800MHz rated FSB.

follow that its fool proof

Dimention, why are you rearing up when someone is offering you good advice? Stress testing will test for that all important stability. You cannot stress test without generating heat. Too much heat leads to instability....

Whyt don't you read through the stickies first and then simply up the FSB at stock volts to see how far you can get?

I will also say that you will get very little support from the community if react poorly to good advice.

That said, good luck and happy clocking! :)

yea maybe the way i type seems hostile but i assure u its not.. maybe if i added a few lol's u might of took a diffrent way...

ok....

i know on stock cooling my cpu can hit 3.6 ive read up on it a lot..i alos know not every e8400 can do this and needs testing and keeping an eye on..

without upping voltages..
i know to up my fsb to overclock..

i just need help with ram timing to get 1:1 ratio

sorry if it seemed hostile at all

i think this may help my ram is rated at 400mhz and my fsb is 333 at current.. rated to 1600 on overclock 1333 normal

ok ive done the over clock i set these in bios
Set FSB Frequency to 400mhz
Set PCIE Frequency to 100
Set FSB Strap to Northbridge to 400mhz
Set DRAM frequency to 400mhz

but i set DRAM to 800mhz the lowest it would do
im hoping thats right?

im not gonna prime test till i get an answer it botted into windows fine

here! here!
 
yea i read through and read some online about my exact cpu with my exact motherboard... same type of ram no exact same...

but instead of doin increments coz i dont know the settings to use...

ive went straight to
Set FSB Frequency to 400mhz
Set PCIE Frequency to 100
Set FSB Strap to Northbridge to 400mhz
Set DRAM frequency to 400mhz

but i set DRAM to 800mhz the lowest it would do
im hoping thats right?

prime95 fails around 4-5 pass on core 2...

might need to underclock a tiny bit...

but on gaming just done crysis 1 on max settings on 1440X1050 got 7-14 fps more...

was fine all during that gaming cpu didnt heat up no more than normal
and everything was a bit smoother to play
gona run mem test now if that passes im gonna leave as is beens gaming dont stress like prime95 and assuming it was just out just a tiny bit of voltage

that wouldent normally be used in gaming,.,,
hoping this is the case ill update after memtest..
looked around not sure wot metest to use could someone link me please

This isn't oc.net!

Get a Freezer 7 Pro.
 
ok prime 95 fails on 1 core after 4-5 passes...

but ive gamed ofr 40 mins now on crysis 1
getting 7-14 fps higher and its bveen fine no hgiher temps on cpu exact same
 
Up the vcore.

What volts do you have it at now. Do a print screen with cpu z open and core temp or real temp or what ever you use to monitor your temps. And have prime running at the same time

was being sarcastic about the overclock . Net .co.uk thing i didn't make all that up i just copied it from a forum were i knew there was a thread about your board

though he would have got that as i posted the link to it

ok prime 95 fails on core 1 or 2 not sure which ,...

but running games works fine.. crysis 1 on max settings same res i ran getting me 7-14 fps more...

i think its only out by about 0.02- 0.06 voltage out for prime 95 but any game i run works fine...

whcih is wot ive read up..
for my mobo and cpu..
people done same they have failed prime 95 but in gaming worked for for 6 months to 1.5 years on threads i looked at

on prime 96 it takes about 25 secas to fail and tries to restart test all the time on 1 core only the other core stays fine...

cpu volts is 1.208
on max..
wot would u suggest i up vcore to and will it still lower on manuall settings when im not using
 
You have not fo that guide have you

turn speed stepping and all the rest that it says off then when you get it right you turn them back on and test again.

You need to do a print screen for me to help you out more.
