    With the help of soundx98 (Thanks Carl).

    Some news update:

    I made my own LN2 northbridge pot for some extra Mhz.



    I very nice 5.808Ghz with a chill 645Mhz FSB!

    http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=337049




    Vcore: 1.85v -Which is the max for my board.
    Vfsb: Max
    Vddr: 2.7v
    Vnb: 1.8v (anything higher would result in less stability)
    Multi at 9 of course
    Vsb auto
    Crucial Ballistix PC8500 at 5-5-5-15 @ 645Mhz, every other mem timing left in auto.


    What's the world record for the E8400 anyways? I tried to solder in some volt mods for the board but was having a rough time getting the solder to stick to those tiny resistors without getting it everywhere. That is something I'm going to get done though.

    Well, per HWbot it's the #1 E8400 CPU-Z. I'll take it.

    Amazing! 5.8GHz on the 8400 is simply spectacular.

    Thanks gentlemen. I will be testing my E8500 probably next weekend with some fresh Ln2. This week my main focus is voltmodding my board and being able to do it successfully. Any tips?

    If you are talking about vmods I think this would help..

    Thanks PP, dinos22 is a wealth of good information. What I need to find is probably the right solder and very thin wires.

    Does that CPU seem to be degrading after that much vcore?

    Not sure, because it just sits there unless I'm benching. But the max Mhz went up from the previous bench session. I haven't seen any evidence in my testing that would conclude any degradation.

    Would this be a better board for OC'ing than the DFI LANPARTY UT P35-T2R?

    I like them both. My DFI UT P35-2TR would do 610Mhz FSB max and the Commando of course will do more but the DFI is a really fun board. The prices for both are coming down and both are quite reasonable.
