E8500 on ASUS P5K Black Pearl

[ggammage]

Hi All,

I am running and E8500 on an ASUS P5K with 2x2GB OCZ 8500 Reaper Memory.

Does anyone have a guide or screen shots of how to over clock and what kind of voltages I should be using. I have a very small amount of knowledge and have the feeling I am going to do some damage somewhere along the line.

Using the ASUS Suite software I have had it running at 3.7, but CPU-Z keeps switching the Multiplier between 9 and 6 which is very confusing.

Can anyone give me some pointers please, as I am sure there is more to come from this chip.

Thanks in hope :-)

intel speedstep is kicking in. you need to turn off E.I.S.T in the bios..
