Hey fellow P5N-D owners. I haven't kept up too much with this thread, I occasionally read it off and on. Over the weekend I went my local Microcenter and purchased an E8400.

While my goal of getting 4ghz was achieved, that wasn't what amazed me. I was suprised at the vcore needed to get to (450 x9) 4050mhz. It was only 1.275v.

So here are my current settings at 4050mhz.
Vcore : 1.275v
Mem: 2.09v
HT : 1.44v
NB : 1.44v
SB : 1.50v

There is definately little more head room. I've played with 4.2ghz, but didn't really try to stablize it. I'm more than happy with 4050mhz.

Here is shot with XP and Vista64 - intel burn test 1.8 after 10 runs.

That`s a nice OC, flyin15sec!
I`d like to hit the 4.0gHz mark too but the E8200 only has x8 multiplier and I`m running 1910mHz FSB already so i think an E8400 or higher is needed on this board. But I`m not gonna buy me a new chip just for 0.2gHz though.

wow you got a golden chip there flyin15sec

I have my E8500 @ 4.3ghz now, but at 1.378v, so you should be really happy with yours, since you can run such a low vcore! you can put your vcore safe all the way up to 1.365v in real time, you will get quite far on that

Thanks. I had so much problems with my old E8200, max I could get stable was only at 3.5ghz@1.31vcore. You are doing way better than I did with an E8200.

I did play around a bit more, it's unstable at 1900QDR, with 1.35v Vcore, HT&NB @ 1.6v, SB 1.6v. So it appears getting to 4ghz was easy, but anything more is too much for this CPU+mobo combo.

np

Yeah heard many have problems with it, thats why I went with the E8500 (now I can run my 4870x2 full out at least lol)

hmm, I hate to reinstall... Think I can do it in sleep now, done it so many times anyways I had to set my volt and timings manually with my 1200mhz HyperX ram now to. It was a real pain lol

Oh, i`ve been strugglin trying to get this chip to 4.0gHz even booting but finally i settled down @ 3.82gHz. Think my RAM helped me alot to where I`m at right now. But the RAMspeed is maxed out too so i really don`t think this mobo has anymore fireworks than that for the E8200.
Anyways I`m stable now after an overnight Prime95 and 4hours OCCT so I`m happy.
