Need to overclock Intel E8400

[rjones007]

I have ASUS P5G41TM_LX Motherboard:

My processor is Intel E8400 3.0Ghz

I have DDR3 1333MHZ Hynix RAMS (2GB+4GB)

I want to overclock CPU or RAM anyway possible.

When I restart pc I get error, overclock failed or overvoltage failed.

Help me solve.

Thanks.

Your mobo list 1333 as tops for the FSB, and to OC the CPU would need to take it higher, might see if you can raise the FSB to 1600

I guess my mobo supports max 1333 FSB so 1600Mhz CPU might not be supported.

Let's just say, I want to run 4+4 GB DDR3 Mhz RAM and I also want to run my system as fast as possible. (more performance, less graphics)

In jumperfree configuration when I choose Overclocking Auto my pc does not start and If I choose manual or overclocking default profile It just throws me error "Overclocking failed or overvoltage failed".

What do I have to do in configuration to supply 8(4+4) GB 1333Mhz RAM!.

Please reply. Thanks.

What's your DRAM? you'll be limited to 1333 as the FSB is limited, if running 1066 DRAM or 1333 and having problems with 4 sticks try raising the DRAM voltage + 0.05 and the NB voltage about + 0.065

I have hynix 4 GBx2 DDR3 1333Mhz RAM.

I didn't understand what you meant about changing voltage!
What I need is to run dual channel ram and get the highest performance as I can without getting error "Overclocking failed or overvoltage failed"

Raising the voltages will hopefully stabilize the DRAM at 1333

How to change it in BIOS? How much amount? I have only two sticks and my mobo supports max 8GB.

From above "raising the DRAM voltage + 0.05 and the NB voltage about + 0.065 " and you've said 2 +4 GB and also 4+4GB which is is and what are the model #s

same model of 4 gb x 2 sticks . I mentioned in image below.
