**Official e8400/e8500 Retail OC Thread

My E8400 seems to have a 9.5 multiplier?? I just had enough time last night to get it installed but all the computer did was beep really fast. about 3 beeps/sec continuously and since it was after 10pm already i just went to bed. Wasnt going to start troubleshooting at that time.

So this morning I unplugged everything except keyboard and video and it started right up. After I set the BIOS (bios was showing a 9.5 multiplier also) and all to a FSB 400 and booted it i saw the post screen said 3.8Ghz. I only let it hit the desktop then shut down cause I have to do this work thing. I though the E8400 was locked.

I set the Vcore to 1.36 in bios. CPU -z read my voltage .04 less then waht bios is set at so

vcore 1.32
FSB 400
Memory all auto
Vmem +.2
Vfsb +.1
Vmch +.1

Booted right up at 3.8Ghz no problem

I will try some tweeking over the next couple nights until I can post some screenshots. Maybe get in the database. But I wanted to give an update. I was soo way past due for a good CPU.
