Upon picking up one of fitseries E8400 in trade for some ballastix ram, i knew i was going to have some fun with it .... but before i go on let me list my unusual specs
E8400 cooled by a Zalman 9500
Abit IP35-PRO
2900PRO 512mb/256bit(OCed 755/1000)
4GB A-Data Extreme DDR2 800+
1 WD 250GB 3.0GB/s
ASUS Xonar
PC P&C 750W Quad
I Set off to OCing putting the ram into a 1:1 Ratio
im starting to suspect the ram is my major issue here, fooled around with alot, posts@ 1184 2.3v but freezes in POST screen, @ 1080-1140 doesnt even post. Tried DDR2 1000mhz 5-5-5-15 2T 2.2 posts loads in windows but BSOD's and crashes, tried 2.3v still crashes, got windows to run fun at DDR2 999mhz 5-5-5-15 2.2v passed the First test of Othros just earlier so this is totally confusing me.
All tests were done with a quick 10min Othros Run, followed by 3dmark05 test if they passed i assume there reasonably stable(not %100). I use 3dmark05 because it has 5 tests and i hate 3dmark06 because it takes forever to do every single test.
First try, results (Stable)
400FSB/3.6Ghz
1.3450 VCore(Vdroop .3~)
1.33 MCH
1.13 VTT
Ram 1:1 800mhz 2.1v 4-4-4-12
Temps, at load are 41C, 32C Idle
here are the 3dmark05 Results, im obviously seriously GPU limited by the 2900PRO

Second try,
Well went again to OCing and here are the results (Stable)
450FSB/4.050Ghz
1.4250VCore(Vdroop .3~)
1.33MCH
1.20VTT
Ram 1:1 900mhz 4-4-4-12 2T @ 2.2v
Temps are 50C load, 35C Idle
Othros failed at 2.1v with the same timings and speed, simply up'ed it .1v and its now running fine.

Final Overclock (Stable %100)
475 FSB/4.284Ghz
1.4750Vcore(Vdroop .3~)
1.33MCH
1.23VTT
RAM 1:1 952mhz 4-4-4-12 2T 2.3v
Temps 56 load 45 Idle
had problems from 480+ booted but was unstable @490/485/480 using 1.505/1.4950V wouldnt even boot at 500FSB, happy enough with 475FSB
Final 3dmark05
