need some help overclocking my E8400

i dont know...as the guide says, you want the lowest value that is stable for whatever clockspeed in the end. What are stress test (small ftt) load temps? All tbis matters and....you guessed it.. is in the guide..
im wondering just how many times you post the same voltage typo...3.8V would kill your chip. You've posted that half a dozen times or more already, lol! Lets get back to punctuation use and getting the right values posted.
Did you get that cmos battery yet??? Repeating the same problem without applying a possible solution doesnt help anyone.

still waiting on the cmos batter as for temps 53c for both ffts and blend voltage is 3.25 as set by me in the bios any lower and the system wont boot

Your CPU voltage cannot possibly be at 3.25v. It would kill your chip instantly, and I don't think it's even possible for you to set the voltage that high.
You must mean 1.325v???

I had one it played hitman Absolution and bf4 just fine
she glossed over my mention of it and did it again..

Yes, I saw that too. Thought I would try to help hammer your point home. Don't know if it will have the desired effect though, or if he or she will even read it.she glossed over my mention of it and did it again..

Your limiting factor in this situation is the bios not having tools to allow you to downclock the frequency of the memory bus.
very likely. If you are able, you can add voltage or raise timings.

I am able to play Battlefield 1, Battlefield 4, Star Wars Battlefront, and some other games perfectly fine with a Geforce 750ti.
Until that core 2 duos instruction sets become obsolete, i dont see why anyone should stop using it.
Now if it was a Pentium 3 or Pentium 4, yeah it might be time to upgrade.
You better believe its real.
unless either of you two have the money to help Kaitlin here upgrade...
@kaitlin4599
I dont know if this was asked before, but what ram specifically are you using? brand name and model and all.
You can play the games, sure, however, you are putting a pretty low glass ceiling on things using such an old processor with only two cores/threads. PLenty of info on that at techreport.com...
..for example: http://www.techspot.com/review/734-battlefield-4-benchmarks/page6.html
Look how the Ph II x6 does with a slightly slower clock compared to the Ph II x2 with 200 Mhz more.... then look at the x3 above the x2... slower clock, on more core and WAY more FPS....
Again, for MOST games you can play it (though there are a couple that WILL NOT WORK with a dual core, you need more than 2 threads), so, yes.. playable, but long in the tooth in many cases.

My bad, i should have also mentioned architecture as well. But even so, Core 2 Duos are not completely obsolete yet. They are around the part where one would say "your core 2 duo will still work, but an upgrade would greatly help" or something like that.
I mean i still use one myself. Because i always wanted one, and because i find it makes sense for what i want to do with it (old games, guest computer, updating satellite meter, and flashing custom test firmware to wireless routers)
