I wouldnt go any higher than that, since its already hitting 60c on load, Just wait until you get an aftermarket cooler, 4Ghz should be easy then. Is this overclock stable? did you run a torture test on it?
First Minor Overclock - Some Questions
Hey guys,
Came on here a while ago asking for OC help and got some helpfull tips. STILL dont have a aftermarket cooler but hopefully will get one for Xmas. Anyway i attached my CPU-Z. Only put it up to 360 FSB. Idle at 35 C and full load is like 60C at the most.. Like while playing FSX for a while. Its usually 58C. First of all, I am wondering if i could put it higher then what i have it at right now without causing any problems. Also I still have my voltage on Auto as i wasnt sure and as you can tell by the attachment. It keeps me around 1.128. Is that ok? If i go any higher. What voltage should i put it on? Thanks in advance guys.
Also attached my Ram page. Very new to this so i want to make sure everything is good.

Ok so, I stand corrected. Got a "BSOD" Except the screen wasnt blue, the error afterwords was that it was a blue screen though. Was in FSX and changed some settings when it happened. Sound locked up etc. Thats a bummer... What the usual reasons for crashing when on an OC? I put everything back to auto/stock. This doesnt seem like a new cooler will fix it... I hope my cpu will still be able to OC or maybe its just not a good one

Attached a pic of it. I have an identical stick in slot 3, exactly the same as this one. Running in duel channel.
I put it back to stock since i had that crash. If you could tell me exactly what voltage to start at, what FSB to do. ETC That would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if my english is bad. Its not my first language

I agree.

Voltage on an e8400 is usually safe to 1.34v, anything more than that is above what Intel recommends as the max. Just keep it below 1.34v and 60C and you're fine.
