The weird thing is that on that picture you get 11.453 seconds at 455x9, whilst I get 9.[something] seconds at about 100mhz less on the CPU, so you should totally check what your memory is set to
Thank you for the response! I cannot see how you get 9sec at 4000MHz? I have checked alot of screenshots from overclocked 8400@4Ghz and they all are about 12sek?
My memory is at 1:1 divider and is Kingston HyperX PC8500, so the memory should not be an issue. I am using max volt for the MCH (1,65v) and have removed the bracket with the ASUS logo and added a 60mm fan to cool it. Temperatures are fine on the MCH.
The strange thing is that I can overclock it above 4Ghz stable with clockgen. But if I try to boot above 409MHz FSB the CPU sets to 500MHz for each core. Even a E8400 is very slow at 500MHz
