The build is in my sig, Im no stranger to OC'ing but this is my first intel build since the days of P3's. My e8400 will run at 3.6ghz (8x450) all day long at 1.22 load vcore, run 12+hrs orthos blend test stable at ~53c load. When I crank it up to 4ghz (9x445) on 1.35 load vcore it is small fft stable for 6+ hours(longest Ive let it run) with load temps approaching 60c, but running the blend tests cause it to error out in ~30-45min.
Now, the memory is run @ 2v and obviously Im having a hard time believing its the CPU or Memory causing the 30-45min stress error when in the 8x450 config the system will run 12+hrs stable and at 9x445 the cpu will run 6+hr stable on small ffts. So this leaves the NB/SB as culprits for causing the errors in my mind.
I have the NB volts set to 1.26 and the SB volts to 1.2, what is the safe maximum to run through the p5q pro, and do I have them set too low to be running 4ghz? Any other ideas to get blend test stability caught up with cpu stability? I dont want to push any more vcore through the chip and Im at the limit of where I am willing to push the load temps.
Thanks
