If I enable the EIST and set the voltage to 1.325V, does that mean the EIST won't have any effect on the voltage?

Are you kidding me? This whole thread is dedicated to showing you how to overclock. I suggest you starts with post number 1.

I've noticed that if I plug in my external HDD, my system has trouble starting up when overclocked. Without the HDD, my E4300 is stable at 3.204 Ghz at 1.4V. When I connect the HDD before starting up the system. It cycles on and off a few times and reverts back to the original 1.8 Ghz. Does...

Do I really need to add a fan to my northbridge even though the FSB is at 356 Mhz right now? It does feel a little hot though.

My system with E4300 absolutely cannot reach 400 Mhz either even when I reduce the multiplier so instead, I just set it to 356 Mhz x9 = 3.304 Ghz.

I have the Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory, similar to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148069 (I can't find the exact model on newegg). It's rated at 2.2V and I have confirmed that it is...

Thanks for clearing things up. Now another question: I have the E4300 and when trying to overclock it, I set the voltage to 1.35V. When using CPU-Z it shows that the CPU is at 1.296, meaning that the vdrop is .054, right. Does this mean that I can increase the CPU an additional .054 to make...

Can someone please help me? I'm at the Standard High Performance Setup With No Overclock - MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.) section. I have the DS3 with the latest bios version (F11) and I'm stuck at the "Refresh to ACT Delay" setting. I don't have an option to choose auto because it requires me...

I thought this mod was to trick you mobo into thinking that this is a 1066 Mhz processor instead of 800 Mhz, right?

Can someone please help me?

I have the Gigabyte DS3

I'm planning to pin mod the E4300 because I hear that intel has limited the overclocking capabilities of the newer released CPUs. Does anyone have suggestions or comments on doing this? I've found a guide for doing this but I'm really not sure which voltage to use...

It takes $10 to ship it to them if your PSU is not working and you need a replacement so I wouldn't worry to much about the warranty. They will probably have more of these deals like they always do anyways. Most people buy spare ones instead of worrying about the warranty since they are free...

See, that's the problem. I can either go w/ 2 or 4GB but not 3 b/c then it would be in dual channel unless I get the 512 MB version of the ram I have. The only problem with that is that I can't find any good deals for it.

How gigs of ram are you gamers out there using. I'm planning to get 4GB but I'm thinking it might be a waste and maybe I should go with 2GB....
