Is this good... ?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   OK, Ive overclocked my E8400 from 3.0 to 3.6 with the CPU voltage at 1.35... is the voltage good right there or should I change it?  The resean Im asking is because the BIOS says that its high (red color, not green). I didnt touch anything but the FSB to get it to 3.6.

Im running prime95 as I type and so far no errors.

The temps look good at 64 and 63 with the CPU fan running at 2812 rpm.

This is my first attempt at OCing and im kinda nervous, but so far so good

	did you really need to up the voltage to get it to 3.6 to start off? Thats only a FSB of 400. My E8500 didnt need to manual change of voltage at that same FSB.

	I didnt touch any of the voltage, just the FSB. Im wandering if 1.35v (which i guess is stock) to have with 3.6v is good or should I change it down.

	well i stopped Prime95 after an hour (i know to leave it on all night), After awhile of surfing the web the computer scared the crap out of me by peeping real loud. And that was all it did. Now yesterday it beeped really loud and did a hard lock. I then lowered the OC to 3.5 and this is where Iam now. So why did it beep? I didnt see any codes when I got down the the computer level.
