Hi, I've been wanting to overclock my Intel E8400 3.0ghz for a while now, but havent attempted it yet, I was going to try 3.6ghz first as apparently its very easy to get to, then maybe 4.0ghz If I buy a better cooler,
IDLE - 22°C and each core is 35+/42+°C
FULL LOAD - 32°C and each core is 44+/51+°C
I think up until around 70°C is safe? According to Intels website the Thermal spec is 72°C
My CPU runs at 0.97-98V Idle which stays at 0.96-97 Full load, its voltage range on intels website is 0.85V – 1.3625V..
Im using a XFX 750i SLI Motherboard which is rated 1800FSB max, my cpu is currently at 333.33x9.0 which makes 3.0ghz, Can anyone help me to overclock my CPU? Im totally clueless as to what to set the Voltages at etc. and how to overclock correctly with the Ram I have (800mhz)..
So can someone help me to overclock my CPU, I hope I have provided the needed info, Images are up, Lol at the spelling error
One last thing, there are new motherboard bios availiable, can I just burn it to a CD and flash it like normal and it wont affect my PC as its already up and running? Sorry if thats a silly question
Thank you!
