Hello, I have never overclocked, but I would like to within a safe margin. I know that questions similar to these come up all the time, but please help:

 

I have an E8400
GA-EP35-DS3L
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

 

I would like to overclock the E8400 to 3.6-3.8 ideally. Is there any way to do this without changing voltages? Would this be possible on this board? What would I have to do to reach this range?

 

Thanks.

Soo... with the 9x multiplier and 1333MHz frontside bus, does this mean that I will barely get any overclocking milage?

You can easily hit 3.6 or 3.8 with that MOBO. You could probably get it up to 1800MHz FSB.

Settings you should probably use 1st for 3.6Ghz:
Multiplier: 9
FSB: 400
Voltage: ~1.32-1.35
SPD: 2

Run Prime95 8hrs stable, increase voltages as necessary.
