(SOLVED)Overclocking issue with EP35 DS3L
1st problem: I recently put together a build using the E8400 processor and Gigabyte's EP35 DS3L/rev-F4 with G-Skill 1000 2x2GB.
However, I hit a wall when trying to overclock it. Note: this is my first time overclocking.
It just wont let me push it past 372x9 or 3.35GHZ without Prime95 crashing. C1E is not enabled. and I'm running the ram at 933 with these timings 5-5-5-15
An interesting note: I installed DES, but after realizing what it was I quickly uninstalled it. Could this be whats stopping me from pushing the CPU any further?
From what I've read this CPU should be more than capable of reaching 3.6 with ease. So if anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated. Also, the Vcore voltage is at 1.25
2nd problem: Are there programs like Gigabytes Easytune or CPU-Z and Prime95 for Linux?
Thanks ^_^
