Well, been messing with this thing for the last few hours and so far I'm @ 4ghz with my E8400 C0 @ 1.33v in bios on my P5B Deluxe using the stock HSF. My temps are from 44* C idle to 72* C load says OCCT V3.0 atm using the intel stock HSF.
ATM I'm only testing OCCT in 30 - 45 min bouts untill I find the lowest stable vCore using the stock HSF then I figure when I add my Thermalright Ultima 90 and bump the vcore up a notch from the lowest stable I find tonight I should have an 8 hr+ stable 4ghz OC on a C0 stepping which is good from what I've read so far about the interweb.
Considering the previous owner said he couldn't get into windows past 3.8ghz I'm guessing he had a crappy mobo or knew the chip went higher just didn't want to say so incase someone was using a crappy mobo or something.
Before I get too giddy is this actually a good OC thus far even with my crude rush testing on this chip? I do plan to do some serious definitive testing tomorrow and Sunday I'm just wondering if I have a chance of 4ghz+ 24/7 stable before I get arround to the proper testing so I can have happy dreams tonight
Heres what I'm working with:
Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi with latest bios ( no pencil mod for vdroop yet )
E8400 C0 ( vid 1.28v ) @ 500x8 with 1.33v in bios ( OCCT 3.0 says 1.27v under load )
4gb kit ( 2x 2gb ) of OCZ Flex PC2 9600 @ 500mhz with 5-5-5-15 2T timings and 1.95v
Antec Neo 500w PSU ( by Seasonic : )
---
My voltages are as follows for the ones I changed:
vCore: 1.33v
FSB Termination: 1.3v
vNB: 1.55v ( will not boot into windows @ 1.45v )
vDimm: 2.0v
