Re: Overclocking Failed , Help Neended E8400

Print these out ; these are stocks settings at 3.0 ghz for your E8400


Intel E8400 E0 3.0Ghz
ThermalRight Ultra Extreme w/ Antec 3 speed
4870 1GB GDDR5 PCS+
Asus P5Q E P45
OCZ 4GB 1066MHz 8500 Reaper
Samsung 750GB SATA II
XP 64
Corsair TX 750W


The basic settings for NO overclock are as follows:

AI Overclock tuner: Manual
CPU Ratio Setting: 9

FSB Strap to North Bridge: Auto
(333 recommended, 400 can be used too)

FSB Frequency: 333
PCI-E Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: DDR2-1066
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel A1: AUTO
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel A2: AUTO
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel B1: AUTO
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel B2: AUTO
DRAM Timing Control: Manual

1st Information :

CAS# Latency: 5
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay: 5
DRAM RAS# Precharge: 5
DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge: 15
RAS# to RAS# Delay : AUTO
Row Refresh Cycle Time: AUTO
Write Recovery Time: AUTO
Read to Precharge Time: AUTO

2nd Information :

READ to WRITE Delay (S/D): AUTO
Write to Read Delay (S): AUTO
WRITE to READ Delay (D): AUTO
READ to READ Delay (S): AUTO
READ to READ Delay (D): AUTO
WRITE to WRITE Delay (S): AUTO
WRITE to WRITE Delay (D): AUTO

3rd Information :

WRITE to PRE Delay: AUTO
READ to PRE Delay: AUTO
PRE to PRE Delay: AUTO
ALL PRE to ACT Delay: AUTO
ALL PRE to REF Delay: AUTO
DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
DRAM Read Training: Disabled
MEM. OC Charger: Enabled
AI Clock Twister: Auto
AI Transaction Booster: Auto
Common Performance Level [10] If I set previous to manual this one is at 5
Pull-In of CHA PH1: DISABLED
Pull-In of CHA PH2: DISABLED
Pull-In of CHA PH3: DISABLED
Pull-In of CHA PH4: DISABLED
Pull-In of CHB PH1: DISABLED
Pull-In of CHB PH2: DISABLED
Pull-In of CHB PH3: DISABLED
Pull-In of CHB PH4: DISABLED

CPU Voltage: 1.20 (max 1.3625)
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (0/2): AUTO
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (1/3): AUTO
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.50 (min 1.4)(max 1.56)
FSB Termination Voltage: AUTO (possibly 1.3)
DRAM Voltage: 2.1 (By RAM Manufacturer – P5Q Board overvolts by 0.08 avg)

NB Voltage: 1.10
can be [AUTO] if the FSB is below 400MHz, rising to 1.3V for 400-500MHz and a maximum of 1.4V for 500MHz and above (quote: Intel)

NB GTL Reference: AUTO

SBridge Voltage: 1.10
Controls HDD, LAN, Audio etc. go up to 1.3V

PCIE SATA Voltage: 1.50

Load Line Calibration: Enabled
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU Clock Skew : Auto
NB Clock Skew : Auto

Advance CPU Settings
CPU Ratio Setting: 9
C1E Suppport: Disabled
Max CPUID Value Limit: Disabled
Intel® Virtualization Tech: Disabled
CPU TM Function: Enabled
Execute Disable Bit: Enabled



here are the changes to get to 4.0ghz ..(but we dont want to go that high right off the starting line ....... compare the 4.0 settings and you will compare those with the 3.0 stock settings ...... then you should get a feel for a middle of the road voltage jump from stock to get to some 3.6ghz and 3.8 ghz settings ?
