My Xtreme Results! GA-P35-DS3P W/e8400 STUNNING!!!

Reason why the graph is so skewed.. 1.61v for 4.5GHz is garbage. My E8400 did 4GHz with 1.3825v, 4.5Ghz with 1.45v, 4.7GHz with 1.47v and walled at 540FSB. I have seen many E8400's doing 4.5GHz with sub 1.5v. Blasting 1.6v through that chip is a sure-fire way to kill it. If you ask for screenies or declare my thoughts as fake, I bought the chip on a whim, benched it once, put it in a drawer, and subsequently sold it, so take my words on faith. 1.6v will kill your chip.

edit: ps.. I had a "mediocre" E8400 compared to alot of other samples just to put it in perspective.

Due to increasing spring temps, I've decided to clock down...until my 12,000 BTU air conditioner arrives ^.^

Currently at 4.31ghz 1.47v

I had a wierd OC'ing experience though...For some wierd reason, my frames dropped in the 30-50 zone no matter what clock I hit.

If i went back to defeault, frames would go back to normal but once i starting oc'ing again, the frames would stay in the 30-50 zone.

cpu was not overheating, didn't go past 1.51v in bios.

All CPU features disabled in bios, smart fan all that stuff.

Anyone had a simular experience?

It would help if you told us what game this occured in. Normally the CPU has very little to do with overall frame rates in a single card application. Especially one that only went down a couple hundred Mhz.

Every game I play, TF2, NFS Carbon, CS S....
