Default Hey! I'm new to OC and OCN!
Hey everyone! I'm new to the forums and I'm certainly new to overclocking. I've just recently built a C2D 8400 rig and is in the midst of overclocking it slightly. I'm thinking of just going to 3.5~3.6Ghz and I've read in many places that the 8400 will easily do that. I hope to learn lots from OCN

Yeah! I'm pretty sure I'll be on OCN quite a lot. I have a quick question. The other night, I was trying to OC my 8400 for the first time and I simply just did 3.6GHz (400x9) and it booted stable. However, when I opened CPU-Z, all it said was 3600MHz and nothing about the FSB and the Multiplier. This isn't normal is it?
