 Soooo close. So far it's been stable for 24 hours. Tonight before I go to bed, I'm gonna tweak the settings just a little more to see if I can get high 3.9 or simply 4.0  Anyone here pushing their processor near this speed/frequency? |

Honestly if I water cooled the processor and had the full 16GB of RAM installed I could hit 4.8GHz.
The Motherboard, RAM, and Processor are capable. Eww the E8500. You would have been in GREAT hands with the E8400 E stepping. Unfortunately I didn't learn about the positives of the E stepping until 2-3 months after I bought this processor =\ But yes, that's clockable. I've seen those push 3.8s just air cooled. You gotta know how to over clock the memory, front side bus, and the processor in order to accurately over clock your system. And believe it or not... at 3.8GHz, some how, some way.. my internet is seriously faster. I shit you not. |
