I decided to jump on the E8400 bandwagon and am disappointed so far. My goal was a relatively low volt 4.0Ghz. But I have yet to even hit 4.0. Here is a
google spreadsheet with what I have gotten so far. The super bowl was coming on so I went ahead and jumped to 450 which I tried up to 1.5Vcore and was rewarded with a full 7 seconds of orthos stability(hey and that was up from immediate lock-up) I down clocked my ram with dividers, even though they should not be an issue. The temps are getting a little high but still within spec. I also tried enabling voltage damper but that didn't make any difference. Anyone have any ideas on what to try next. This board is very similar as others in the P5 as far what is available in the BIOS.
It just seems that once I hit 400 the voltage need rose very quickly. Did I get unlucky on this round or am I missing something?
