I'm almost pushing 4.0GHz! Options

[illriginal]

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.

huh? bad processor? Whats wrong with it? 16gb of ram? DUDE! And you keeping it cool! mY laptop hasnt been modified and it is at like 40 celsius.

Cool. But my Quad core still rapes your dual core.

I prefer ghz to cores.

No no.. it's not a bad processor. In fact if you wanted you could more than likely push it to 3.6GHz without touching the voltage. If anything you'd have to make sure that the memory isn't being overly clocked.

As far as over clocking with, it's not considered favorable.

I bet mine will out run yours
