Increase MCH and VTT voltage , I was able to get over 500 fsb with E8500 on IP35 Pro

tried mch up to 1.56, vcore up to 1.5 and tried boosting vtt a bit with no success at all. prime95 fails instantly after several seconds if i go 440+

Do Ace's bolt-mod as found in the ip35-pro thread. What do your other voltages look like? I don't think I have an especially lucky e8400 but mine runs 467fsbx9 (4200) stable with 1.344v load on air. What bios are you using?

im using bios 16... im starting to believe that i have a defective chip. i once bumped voltage close to 1.55 when i was on stock cooling trying to get prime stable, but that was for 10minutes max and uguru never showed more than 75-80 C. would that cause degradation or sth on the chip that could justify this kind of behavior?

thnx a lot for the answers


edit : this pic is from 12mins of priming @ 400fsb all stock except vcore which was 1.2850 (it would get errors after the 1st test if i set vcore lower than that). isnt this kind of vcore needed too much? and are these temps showing that im in need of doing the bolt mod on my m/b?
