Nice, yeah I find that anything more powerful than a GTX 650 is too much for the E8400. Surprising how many games you're still able to play, though.

Surprising how many games you're still able to play, though. Ikr? Though games from about 2010-2011 started using quad cores properly, so mine does struggle a bit with them (4 cores at 3GHz=better than 2 cores at 4.4GHz).

And if they really are dead I'm going to be pissed, they were new in box until 2014, and I've only ever taken them up to the 2.2V stated on them. Bios resets are doing nothing BTW.

Posted March 13, 2016 Tried overvolting everything overvoltable as high as possible... this board is retarded and does not let you key in values... and is it just me or is a vcore option not existant? And still 411 is as high as I can go and still have the board detect my sata drive. Any higher and it just fails to detect it. Though if you compare my cpu's ability to overclock and simply post at the stock voltages with 667mhz ram, I win. Donate your unused computer resources for cancer and other research.

I have been farting around with a 1.8ghz pentium dual core on this same board and I managed 2.8ghz, never had any HDD issues though. RAM matters. A lot.

It does sound like a weird motherboard issue, because if you're CPU-limited then usually the system will blue-screen. Even my crappy Gigabyte G31M-ES2L still managed a 4GHz overclock and was stable under load, but yeah, not a great idea to overclock with a cheapo board like that when it's likely the motherboard will get fried.

I have seen the bsel mods for other frequencies but those are harder than just putting a piece of tape down.
