| 785827 | 2009-06-26 06:12:00 | As covered by the link Sol gave, it is not recommended to go over 1.4v for vcore for your 45nm chip. I reckon your E8400 can do 4GHz at 1.4v or maybe a bit less. Is it E0? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

Is it E0? what do you mean by E0? how can I find out? I delighted to hear that my CPU can go as high as 4GHz, but the memory can't take it. It requires 444.44MHz of FSB, but my memory is only rated for 400 max.. :( thanks for the reply qazwsxokmijn :thumbs: |

| 785829 | 2009-06-26 07:35:00 | Download and open CPU-Z and next to 'Revision' it will tell you. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 785830 | 2009-06-26 07:57:00 | Ok, it is E0, what does it tell you?? what does it mean?? | powerover (12121) | ||
| 785831 | 2009-06-26 09:22:00 | Different revisions have different OC'ing abiities. I think yours is a good one, but someone else can confirm that | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 785832 | 2009-06-26 09:42:00 | best clocking guide ever................forums.anandtech.com Thanks Sol! The name in the link sounded really familiar - so I went back to my bookmarks to check the guide I used here (www.tomshardware.com). Same guy (graysky) - looks like basically the same guide as well. Was a really good read for me at the time - helped me understand a lot about the relationships between the various components. Powerover - don't worry about your memory speed. You can just drop it down by using a different memory divider, and loosen the timings. Read the guides - they do explain a lot. Concentrate on getting your cpu oclock first (stable). Then concentrate later on tweaking RAM etc. |

| 785833 | 2009-06-27 00:34:00 | got ya Brooko. at the moment I had my multiplier down from x9 to x7. but the FSB up from 333 to 360 and still increasing it in 10MHz steps. Overall frequency did drop but once I find the peak of the FSB I will start increasing the multiplier, slowly, which should give me dramatic speed increase. That guide is really good by solmiester, thanks again for that!! will update you guys the progress each day.. cheers! :thumbs: |

| 785834 | 2009-06-27 00:36:00 | Different revisions have different OC'ing abiities. I think yours is a good one, but someone else can confirm that blam said the same thing, that is pretty much the reason I bought that CPU :D |

| 785835 | 2009-06-27 00:44:00 | E0 is best for E8400 AFAIK. Steppings are revisions, different "versions" of a CPU. If the letter in front changes, that indicates extensive design changes, while if the no. changes then its only a minor change:) Blam |
