E8400 can't get to 4ghz

[ellyo414]

I can't even load Windows at 4.0ghz 9 x 444 with a voltage of 1.4 and my 1000 mhz rated ram running at 800 mhz, 5 5 5 15 timings =/

Even right now at 3.6 my e8400 reaches 60 c on intelburn test, which doesn't make sense because I'm running an OCZ vendetta 2 with OCZ freeze extreme TP.

Is it because my e8400 is from a bad batch?

What do you guys think?

What ram is it? What are the voltages on the ram? What I am getting at is that your ram could be at fault.

sorry, im using exact same ram, cept its the 4 gig pack

System specs?

 

[ellyo414]

e8400 at 3.6 atm on a gigabyte ep45-ds3r and 4850

 

[ellyo414]

rams running at 800 mhz atm also btw

Early E8400 C0, did require more voltages than the later E8400 E0. Run CPUz and verify what revision you have.

 

[ellyo414]

C0

What is your memory multiplier?

 

[ragsters]

By the way 60c on intel burn test is not bad with 1.4v.

 

[ellyo414]

its 1.3 for my 3.6 that is 60 c on burn test, memory multipliers are 5 5 5 15 running at 2.1v with 2.00d

 

[ragsters]

Did you disable CIE and EIST at the Advanced Settings screen?

 

[ragsters]

Also make sure you Pci-e bus is at 100mhz. And if that doesn't work try upping the NB voltages up a bit.

 

[ellyo414]

did everything cept northbridge, ill up mch and try tomorrow

Lax your memory timings from 5-5-5-15 to 6-6-6-18

 

[nforce4max]

Something is not right check the board temps and the 12v lines because you should be getting better results than that. I got a cheap corsair 675 kit running well above 800 at 850 (425 physical) on just 2v 5,5,5,15 2cmt 26 bank cycle. Make sure the power vrm for the cpu isn't to hot (if it is you would know) and check the NB (north bridge) to if it to is very hot.

You also could have lost the CPU lottery and received a chip with a relatively high VID.

And what kind of case? How good is it at moving - not just recirculating - air through itself?
