Well my buddy recently bought a computer, and I really hated his choice of places to buy the parts, he bought them in China, so I don't even know if the parts are legit from Intel and Nvidia and Asus... ANYWHO on his 8400 his processor is some how locked at 2.4GHz, and I can't raise it on his motherboard, I know the motherboard he has, I had it in an old computer before the computer got fire damage, so I know that it can and will overclock. His 8400 is stuck at 2.4GHz on my motherboard also, I tried it I can't seem to get it past 2.4GHz with an insane amount of trying, it runs really damn hot and like none of the things you'd expect for a 45nm @ 2.4GHz. It idles at 60*c I've put it under my buddys phase change and it was at -30*c... I'm truly stumped.
Any ideas? Maybe it's a faked 8400? Maybe he just got a ****ty one?
