| 859027 | 2010-02-16 04:18:00 | Hey, I would like to overclock my E8500 but I have never overclocked my cpu before. These are my specs E8500 P5Q-E 2x2gb DDR2 1066mhz TRUE-120 The only thing I think you do is to, increase the CPU voltage and increase the FSB? If any one has this set up, or could help me, could you please? Thank you |

| 859029 | 2010-02-16 05:43:00 | Hey, I read that, but it doesnt say what settings to change for my P5Q-E and E8500. Like here some guy says you need to set the voltage to 1.3 and other guy says you dont. www.overclockers.com What has every one else done to their E8500's? |

| 859030 | 2010-02-16 08:52:00 | so i used these settings Ai Overclock Tuner : Manual CPU Ratio Setting : 9 FSB Frequency : 445 PCIE Frequency: 105 FSB Strap to North Bridge : Auto (p5q pro has some problems with straps) DRAM Frequency: Auto, this will be set to 890Mhz(or change to the mhz of your memory) DRAM Timing Control: Auto (adjust to your timings of your memory) DRAM Static Read Control: Auto Dram Read Training : Auto MEM OC Charger : Auto Ai Clock Twister : Auto Ai Transaction Booster : Auto CPU Voltage : Set what you need, this will range from 1.20-1.4v CPU GTL Reference: Auto CPU PLL Voltage : 1.50 FSB Termination Voltage: 1.30 DRAM Voltage : 2.1 NB Voltage : Auto PCIE Sata Voltage: Auto Load Line Calabration : Enabled CPU Sread Spectrum : Disabled PCIE Spread Spectrum : Disabled CPU Clock Skew: Auto MB Clock Skew: Auto" so i just used the settings above and saved them, it rebooted its self and now the screen is black with nothing on it! Like the computer is on but nothing is being displayed Whats happened and what should i do? I cant get into the bios to change it back! |

| 859031 | 2010-02-16 08:58:00 | It all comes down to your particular setup, everyone combination of hardware will result in different highest overclocks. On the surface it is just raising FSB and increasing the CPU/Northbridge voltage to keep it stable. But there is other things to factor in like ram settings (timings, voltage and ratio) and temperatures. The cooler the better, but you obviously know that cos of the TRUE. Download a programme to stress and monitor temperatures. Everest is the easiest option for beginners, has a reasonable stress feature. Your motherboard will give an idea of how much your overvolting your hardware with colours. the volts will change colour as you come closer to frying it. But as long as temps are all good you can usually get them pretty high. Personally I would always overclock to the last volt below the text turning red. Hope that helps |

| 859032 | 2010-02-16 09:00:00 | Whats happened and what should i do? I cant get into the bios to change it back! There is a jumper on your mobo to reset the bios, if memory serves its under the graphics card on your board. You have a good board, I had my e6600 at 4ghz and a mates e6750 at 4.3ghz stable. That was with watercooling though |

| 859033 | 2010-02-16 09:06:00 | Alright so it didnt show anything on screen, i held the pwoer button down and restarted it again and finally it loaded up but it said Overclocking has failed and told me to change the stuff by the way my ram was orignally on 2.1V 1066 but when I overclocked the cpu it was forced at like 1069 so put it to like thw lowest 890 something. Would this of prevented it from working? What should I do now? |

| 859035 | 2010-02-16 09:29:00 | You should now just keep floundering around and playing with various things until you understand what dies what. As long as you don't go crazy high with any voltages or frequencies you'll be sweet. |
