Question How to Overclock Intel E5500 or Intel 8600 Using Intel G41 MBD

[Deepak_Mehra]

Hey Geeks Out there, i need your help,

1.I am having intel G41 Motherboard (Nov/2011) Lenovo Branding over there and Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_E5500 2.8ghz 2MB cache Processor,
I need to overclock this, alternate i have E7600 and E8600 too, Kindly Help.

2. I have 4 Sticks of Ram
a. Ramaxel brand 1gb 1066 No idea about Frequacny
b. Dynet brand 2 gb 1333 Mhz
c. Kingston 2 gb 1333 MHZ
d. elixir 4gb 1333mhz
Problem is that When i use E5500 processor then all the 4 rams are working but when i use E7600 or E8600 then only two rams are working that is Ramaxel and Dynet, i.e i left with 3 Gb of ram , help in that case too.

About 10 years ago I had an asus-mb with E8600. only way to overclock it is to raise the FSB. I managed to get it up to 410, resulting in 4100 Mhz of the processor.

Temperatures were OK with an arctic-freezer-air-cooler. I do not remember, if and how much I increased the core-voltage,too.

If this is possible with your MB, I do not know.

But do some googling to get more informations. I am solving most problems or getting answers to my own questions( without need to post them in any forum) by searching in the web for infos.

i had tried googling so much that i had no other option to get help from some geek.

I did not get any detailled infos about your motherboard. That means, just go into BIOS and check for FSB. if found, try increase from 333 to 350, then , if OK to 370 etc. Check for cpu-voltage in BIOS, and when getting instable, try to increase step by step by about 0.01 volt each. Sorry that I did not keep my old PC with the 8600 for checking my voltage, but more than 10 years ago.

If you do that, keep an eye on cpu-temperature. stability-testing with prim95 and aida64 ( but even if stable, it is not 100%. Last "test" will be your daily work with working and gaming). Good luck.

Lenovo Branding

This usually means BIOS is quite limited.

This chipset was never "champion" in overclocking to start with, that's why it was so popular with OEMs. I would concentrate on maximizing RAM usage.

Your mixture of RAM sticks (1, 2, 4) does not help either. CPUs like their memory to be laid in equally-sized banks.

Bios is limited yes, while using E5500 all the rams are working fine that is tha maximum i was getting is 6GB , But when i am using E8600 only two sticks are working i.e 1gb and 2 it means i have only 3 Gb left now. thanks for your response i'll post relevant images by the 10:00 Pm Tonight.

I have the same cpu and graphics card. Yesterday I overclocked it from 2.8GHz to 3.8GHz and it works PERFECTLY. I tested it in some games and it favors more performance and reability. It willnt cause too much heat or any "fry" problem . Do the same and share ur experience!

Which Mother board do you have and how did you overclocked it. kindly explain.

I have G41MT S2 and I only changed base clock from 200 to 280
