I need help overclocking my e7500 on a p5n-d

yes they are good. you can probably push it a bit further at the cost of cooling + power consumption. is this what u needed help with?

So your saying maybe ramp up my vcore A bit and maybe kick the speed up too 11x333mhz?

should I be worrying about nb and sb voltages and what not yet?

i believe the maximum voltage ur cpu can take is about 1.4v. but doing so is really pushing it and you might want to consider having to upgrade soon as the lifetime of the cpu decreases by overclocking. if you can handle the cooling at those temps (recommend anything below 60 on load), then u can theoretically push the cpu up higher in clocks. if u can increase the multiplier thats should be the best option to start off with. do it in steps: one multiplier, lil bit of cpu clock etc etc...
youdont need to change nb voltages unless u are overclocking your ram or change the ram timings (in rare cases).

I just tested with p95 overnight with these settings

3.66ghz (11x333mhz)
1.36v (1.32 full load)


after about 8 hours of testing in-place large ffts my temps were:

Core 0 : 54c
Core 1 : 52c

These seemed like pretty low temps so i ended up raising the voltage to about 1.4 ( 1.36 full load) and the speeds to 3.85ghz(11x350mhz) and started to test again with p95 but after an hour or so, my screen wont come back on when i go to my PC to check it (its set to auto shut off at 10 mins) and the only thing i can do is press the power button to turn off and on again. When i get back into windows after bringing my voltage down to 1.37 and speeds to 3.66 (11x333), my p95 results.txt show this

It looks also to me that the last test shown is about when i went back to check it but had to shut it down.

The weird thing is my computer was still running and everything just the screen wouldnt register back with the computer.

What could be doing this?

you should be able to get them to 3.6 with no voltage incerease. keep temps under 70C and your fine.
