I can assist you with overclocking your E8400 revision E0 CPU.
I'm attempting to push the clock speed of my SLB9J (Intel Core 2 Duo E8400) revision E0. Here are the details I have:
My setup includes:
- Gigabyte G31M-S2L motherboard
- 2x2GB Gig EDR2 PC2 6400 at 800MHz
- NVIDIA 7900GT GPU
- Corsair A70 CPU air cooler with dual 120mm fans in push-pull mode
- EVGA 600 W1 power supply
- ARCTIC MX-2 TIM cooling system
I've configured the BIOS with auto system voltage control and auto memory multiplier. At 3.7GHz, the BIOS sets the CPU voltage to 1.380V. I'm aiming for a higher stable frequency of around 4.0GHz. According to RealTemp and Core Temp readings, the maximum temperatures during load are between 51°C and 55°C. I'm also informed that my CPU might have an internal temperature sensor, which is something I've read about on forums and from Intel. This is my first time overclocking, so any advice or information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I'm seeking a consistent 24/7 overclock to reach 4.0GHz reliably.
I found a YouTube video that outlines the overclocking options available in my BIOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F8xfZ9qxk8
I have the same processor and build, just with a chipped Asus P45 motherboard nearby... You can't overclock with a G31 chipped MOBO.
I can provide you with a straightforward conclusion since I have the identical processor and build (just with a chipped Asus P45 motherboard) nearby... You definitely can't OC with a G31 chipped MOBO. I'm capable of overclocking; I was stable at 3.7GHz under prime95, and if you watch the video, you'll see others were able to do the same on the same board. No offense.
