Help me hit 4ghz :D (E8400)

[aspire]

Your ram timings are 2-2-2-12?!?!?

And your FSB is 1777mhz?!?!

sry, meant 4-4-4-12 for the ram, and yea the FSB is 1777, it makes it 4ghz. lol am i saying this right? thanks for reminding me lol, last time I ran my memory auto it killed the sticks (life time crucial warranty FTW!) and i just added 2 more gigs. hop on aim if u can bro

That's more than 4ghz...

1777mhz is quad pumped, so divide by 4.. that's your normal FSB.. 444.25 x 10, so that = 4442.5 not 4.0ghz

EDIT: wait that's right.. e8400 has 9x Multiplier, its still .25 shy of 4.0ghz

well whatever i set it to made it 3.99ghz lol, as u can see in the screen shot a page back. And what were you asking about the ram vern?

Take a picture of the Ballistix with those heat spreaders off..

See if those black things are on both sides.. if not.. you blame your RAM

Except taking the heat spreaders off will void the warranty on them.

braz, your still running an e8400!?

anyways... I used to run my e2200 at 70C load! That thing was a beast and lived a long life before I sold it.

good luck getting 4 ghz

at 4ghz right now. about to test it for stability. ram is 5-5-5-15 2 clocks 2.09v, NB 1.4v, HT 1.4v, SB 1.5v, vcore 1.34v. Here goes OCCT stress testing! oh, got 11s on 1m super pi
*UPDATE* LOOKS LIKE IM STABLE!!! WOOT! ok, also notice how OCCT shows the cpu temp 10c cooler? dunno which to believe lol.

E6600 is like a step below the E5200?
