sounds good, let us know the results....how far were u able to get that e7200 oc'ed?

Robilar

I have an E7300 on an Abit IP35-E. I was able to hit just below 4ghz stable on air with it.

Heck of a chip.

By-Tor

Had it up to 4.5 ghz with a ton of voltage... Could only get 3.6 ghz stable out of it. This e8500 is stable now at 4.3 ghz and just got done running it up to 4.65 ghz. Also scored well in 3dmark06 and super pi while I had it up there.. Scores below..

lol holy ****, nice guys. what voltages were u guys running on those chips?

hey guys, im having OC problems with this mobo and a E8500. I've got 4 Gigs of OCZ Dual-Channel 800 MHZ RAM, and the mobo DRAM performance boost set to extreme (so it's running at like 948), but ive hit a wall at 3.81 GHz. do i need to up the vCORE or RAM voltage, or am i going to need to OC my RAM also? i'm kinda new to CPU overclocking, so i'm being real careful..... any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes but I'd say its the best bang for the buck board. The rampage extreme will do these kind of numbers but its DDR3 and a $430 board to boot. There are a couple of other top end boards that match it (one by DFI) but again they are more than twice the price.

I got my MB in today but I am still waiting on my RAM. I am using some OCZ ATI stuff right now, and it is only 800mhz. I will wait for my HyperX to get here and see what this new MB can do.

Set your ram divider to the lowest setting (I believe is 2 in your bios for SPD) while trying to OC your CPU. For 4GHz, you should only need a 421 FSB, which would put your ram at DR2 842. That way you know if the CPU is holding you back or if it is the ram. You are already running the ram pretty high, and pushing the FSB is just going to make the ram run even higher!

OK, it's looking good and stable at 4.0 now. (YIPPEE!!!) one thing though, why coes CPU-Z read my RAM latency at 6-7-7-19?
