![]() Besides, E5400 won't go much farther than 4GHz, and mine was only perfectly stable at 3915 MHz (290 MHz x 13.5) running 85C 1.175V on the hottest core on AIDA64. I essentially used an efficient TIM and that was well enough anyway. Fortunately, my stock cooler didn't pose any threat to the OC before the OC was unstable. I ran AIDA64 stress test, stressing both the CPU & FPU (there's no iGP so no point in stressing the GPU - yeah that's right, I don't have a dGPU yet!) and the temps hovered at 86C on the hottest core and average of 81C 1.175V. If this is in the wrong place Mods: please move!Ĭlick to expand.I tried OCing my E5400 on G31M-ES2C Rev 2.0 to 4050 MHz (297 MHzx13.5, which ofcourse, wasn't stable) with my stock cooler. A good quality board from places like Gigabyte and Asus should give you a decent overclock. Depending on your CPU, mobo and other stuff, you may or may not be able to use a lower voltage.īe aware that any low quality boards will probably not have very good power going to the CPU and you may not be able to get as high. I have set my voltage to 1.45000 for stability. of 333 will fix this, however if you leave the CPU Clock Ratio at its stock 13.5 then you will need a lot more volts, as explained in the next photo. ![]() better safe then sorry!) Also, the low FSB of the E5400 means that the stock memory clock defaults at 800MHz. (Why do this? on some boards the auto setting adjusts depending on other aspects. you want the CPU Clock Ratio at 12, the fine CPU Clock Ratio at 0.5, the CPU Host Frequency at 333, and you want to set the PCI Express Frequency at its default of 100. With these settings you will get a nice overclock from 2.7GHz to 4.16GHz. With most gigabyte boards you want the first option: "Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker". If I press DEL here it will take me into the setup: I will be overclocking on a Gigabyte GA-G41MT-D3.įirst thing you want to do is boot into the BIOS. You will probably do better with an X38 or X48 mobo instead, But this was my budget build. ![]() ![]() This guide will show you how to overclock it on my crappy cheap G41 motherboard. The Pentium Dual Core E5400 is quite an overclocker I've found, taking it to 4.644GHz on air. This is my first OC'ing guide, so I will keep it short and sweet. ![]()
