Problems with oc
Hello! I attempted to change the core clock of my Core 2 Duo E8400 from 3.00 GHz to 3.60 GHz, adjusted the bus speed to 400 and set the FSB, but after saving and exiting BIOS it restarts multiple times before returning to normal operation. My setup includes MSI G41M P33 Combo, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, 2x 4GB DDR3 RAM, and AMD Radeon HD 5670. Any advice would be appreciated.
Experiment with the BSEL tape mod 333 to 400 fsb. The hardmod might work for you.
Some boards lock the PLL chip to prevent overclocking; consider relocating a 1066fsb C2D to 1333.
The E7500 supports 11x Multiplier and can reach 3.66GHz on 1333fsb.
Tape mod 266 to 333 should function with this CPU.

Try boosting your multiplier instead of changing the bus speed if possible. Adjust it gradually while testing. If instability appears during testing, reduce the multiplier step by step until stability returns. Do you have a way to raise the CPU voltage on this motherboard? If not, you likely won’t be able to adjust voltages either. When forced to use bus speed, increase it slowly and test incrementally. The same principle applies—just as bus speed changes can also overclock RAM, you might need to underclock it. Have fun!
