Hi guys, I have the E8400 Core 2 Duo and the motherboard is GYGAbyte P35-DS3L
I don't really know how to control the voltage thing (not just the vcore)
i managed to overclock my computer to a maximum of 3.6GH.z (else would just BSOD)
I have the 570GTX (if that would help)
so
1) I wanna know if I will be able to overclock it more then 3.6 and how
2) How to control the voltage thing (I read many guides and it never helped)
3) my computer started to make noises after the overclock

Thanks.

1) Have to say that each processor can't overclock as every Processor. So Maybe it's the maximum for your Processor.

2) Voltage thing is little bit more risky so be cautious. When you hit your maximum clock, try increasing the Vcore a bit and see if gives any stability. But please refer to the Processor spec sheet for the maximum voltage.

3) Maybe the auto fan controller fire up your fans to dissipate the extra heat generated by your overclock.

Are you using an aftermarket cooler or the stock one?

Thanks for the quick reply.
1) I have mistaken, I just raised my Vcore voltage to 1.4 (default is 1.25) and managed to get 4kGHZ at a 48-50
2) I need to know what to raise and how
3) the noise dissapeared when raised to 1.4VCore
any ideas how to get maximum GHZ? and any ideas how to raise the voltages's? (DDr2 PCI Etc)
it looks like this http://assets.overclock.net.s3.amazonaws.com/2/25/25f2533b_vbattach63279.jpeg - but mine is 9X and VCORE is 1.25default
