Re: e8400 and P5n32-e SLI OC

if you want to go any higher than 3.6ghz you will need an aftermarket cooler like the Zalman 9700

your CPU Host Frequency (cpu clock) should be at 400 x multiplier of 9 = 3600


you ram SPD (ram divider) should be set at "2"

your ram voltage is fine

you should not need to increase your cpu voltage to run at 3.6 ghz


give us a screeshot from all tabs within cpu-z

how many case fans do you have / where is each located in the box / which direction does each one move air ???? and what size is each fan ?

looks like your cooling needs to be improved

use this program to monitor cpu temps
