Overclock E8400 to 3.7GHz {+Help} (Stable at 3.6GHz thanks to you guys

Sup guys, I am here once again to ask for help to increase my overclock just a little bit, 4months ago you guys helped me to set my E8400 stable at 3.6Ghz and a few days ago i've bought 2 new sticks of memory Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066Mhz (Sold the old Kingston DDR2 800Mhz) and now i want just to get Stable at 3.7Ghz w/ my E8400 and 1100Mhz w/ the memory.

Detailed information about my computer:

Intel Core2Duo E8400 C0 @ 3.6GHz {400x9} 1.26850v + Cooler Extream Ice Cube SF-901 w/ Artic Silver 5
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L @ F9C
2x 2GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066Mhz [5-5-5-15 2T] 2.1v {400x2.66D}
4,25TB Storage
Powercolor ATI HD4850 PCS+ 1GB DDR3 700/1960
PSU Corsair 450VX
Case Elegance [3x 80mm + 3x 92mm + 3x 120mm]

Stable OC at 3.72GHz! Thanks you all for the help!

Stress test with OCCT 3.1.0

2x OCCT [Auto 1h] test without any errors
2x LINPACK [Auto 1h] test without any errors

Max Core temperatures w/ LINPACK: 65ºC

I will let Prime95 25.8 with Blend Stress Test overnight to see if it's really stable..

Infos w/ Everest Ultimate Edition 5.01

Temperatures w/ over at 3.6GHz:



Infos w/ CPUZ:



Core Voltage w/ Vdroop = 1.248v ~ 1.264v



Thank you all for the help!

UPDATED post with the CPU-Z screens and stable OC config.

I don't want to try higher OC because my machine stays up 24/7 upload/download torrents... and i've tried to search some info and found out about the FSB Wall at 417Mhz for my mobo (google search)...

+1, you could up the vcore a little to get to 3.7Ghz.

Thank you guys for helping me... I think it's stable now but i've done stress tests only with OCCT 3.1.0... I will let Prime95 25.8 testing overnight to check if it's really stable.. if you guys have any advice about the OC or the stress test programs tell me

UPDATED the main post with the OC voltages and config.

Intel's maximum recommended voltage for the 45 nm Core2's is 1.3625 volts.
See Section 12 of:
Core 2 Quad and Duo Temperature Guide
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] ture-guide

See your motherboard thermal alarm to 70 C. and raise vcore to 1.35 volts. You should be able to reach at least 4.0 GHz.

Sounds like you may have won the "CPU lottery" and received a chip with a lower than average VID.
----------
Overclocking since 1978 - Z80 (TRS-80) from 1.77 MHz to 2.01 MHz

It's not stable at 3.7GHz... Overnight test failed... I think i'm gonna give up, maybe my mobo doesn't support higher OC than 3.6 because of the FSB (1600 in OC) and with 3.72 its 1652..
