Hello, Just got broadband back after nearly two days of technical fault(TalkTalk=Crapness) so i have not been able to dictate my skewed opinion on anything, Anyway im back.

Got E4500 yesterday, Installed fine and is a great little chip, At stock speed it makes my old D915 feel like it was bathing in golden syrup, I was going to let the thermal gack bed in for a few days but what the hell, I gave it a modest o/c @ 2.61Ghz, Will go for 3Ghz today.

I have a temps query which i will post somewhere else before i do, Why is it that without the internet i felt like i was wandering the streets without any underwear?

warm regards

What's your vcore to get 3.3 Ghz? 55c at idle is a bit high. 3.3 Ghz and my computer was teetering on the edge of oblivion. :)

go on show it the whip. lmao

i would aim for 3.2GHz XD, intel already make a 3GHz chip so go one better than that ;).

Thanks Conrad101, Im going to take it to a maximum of 3.0ghz hopefully on stock voltages, I have a third party cooler already but i dont want to bump the vcore up too much, I just hope my 667Mhz crucial memory can take it.

warm regards

3.2 Ghz is easy to reach with 3rd party cooling. Anything much higher is very unlikely. There has been quite a few threads on this forum on OCing a p5k with a C2D E4500, alternatively your could try:

You can proably achieve 3 Ghz through only tweaking the fsb value in bios without touching vcore. Good luck :)

Thanks Ricedq, 4.4Ghz in my dreams but 3.0Ghz is what im aiming for, My Crucial memory is 667Mhz so i still have headroom enough, The only problem is that i will have to put the Central heating on in my room now as the D915 normally heats up the whole house.

warm regards

Well with DDR2 800 that gives a maximum FSB of 400.
E4500 multiplier is 11, so that's 4.4Ghz
Like that's going to happen :D

3 Ghz will be easy, anything after that is a bonus really.
I've seen examples on the net of 3.5 and 3.6Ghz.
As you have plenty of headroom, there's no harm in trying.

Hello, I should recieve my E4500 in a few days but would like to get some advice early on to prepare, I want to overclock it and would like to hear if anyone here has oced one, How far they got etc etc, My D915 is to hot/slow and i have a pathological need to compete with my boys rig.(will be using spec from my rig in sig)

Cant let the greasy sod out perform me for much longer.

warm regards
