Here are the settings i managed to get my E8400 to run stable at 4.00Ghz with ram at 890Ghz.

PCIEX16_2: 100 MHz
PCIEX16_1: 100 Mhz
SPP<->MCP: 250.0 Mhz

FSB & Memory Config
Clock Mode: Linked
Ratio: Sync Mode
FSB (QDR): 1780 (445)
Mem Mhz: 890.0

CPU Multiplier: 9.0
LDT Frequency: 5x
Intel SpeedStep: Disabled
Virt Technology: Disabled

Voltages set @
Vcore: 1.36250
CPU VTT: 1.35

NB: 1.66
SB: 1.55
gtluref: 0.68x VTT

Nvidia GPU Ex Disabled

Could someone please let me know if my voltages are safe? specifically my NB and SB.

Running Prime95 for stability as of right now. Successfully shut down pc and booted up with these settings.

So, how'd I do on my first OC??

very safe and very good!
now if your an expert try tweaking it more to get lowest possible voltages
i really gotta start on overclocking my q6600

thank you!
I think i will leave it as is for now....gonna run my prime95 for the entire night. Then i will slowely start tweaking the voltages down abit.

You need to get your CPU VTT down like, now.

I don't know how much voltage Nvidia chipsets take.

isnt 1.4 safe as long as its cooled properly

Down? when i was doing my research...many of the people who have my mobo are running theirs at 1.4. Do you suggest something better?

 

[esa193]

you should try to get them all down tho just better for over all overclocking
fool around with it and keep fine tuning
