Got a few questions on my E8400 overclock, and I’m hoping that the collective intellect of TPU will provide the answers.
Dropped E8400 into Gigabyte P965 DS3 rev 3.3 last night , bios F14. OCed with a couple of tweaks to 4GHz, which is what I was hopping for. (444x9)
Orthos gives 57 under load with my old E6400 cooler.
Now Questions:
1 – Multiplyer has a +0.5 setting, am I right in thinking that at multi 9 this will have no affect as the proc will only go to 9?
2 – Ram Crucial800MHz/PC2-6400 Ballistix Memory CL4 2.0V (2x2GB).
I can run this at 888 with timings 4,4,4,12 with +0.4 V. I think I have read that the DS3 gives 1.8V to the ram default, is this true? If so am I overvolting by 0.2 V and is this safe?
3 – Ram will run at 5,5,5,12 with +0.2V in real terms would these timing make any difference, and would the ram be better run with this lower overvolt?
4 – Running Proc with 1.3V reading around seems to indicate that this is well within safe limits, any opinions?
All advice and opinions welcomed, pretty noobish.
