Hey guys, I'm having some trouble getting my E8400 (C0) stable @4GHz. I have voltage set to 1.42v (1.44v without load) and it's still not running stable... I get 1-3 second freezes and APP CRASH when gaming (BF3).
I've seen people get to 4GHz with much lower voltages... even on air. I have a Noctua NH-D14 which is supposed to be one of the best, and on top of that I have around ~0.04v vdrop and ~0.02v vdroop which didn't happen with my older E6750 (I'm not too familiarized with these concepts).
So what's the matter? Do I have a shitty E8400? Is there nothing I can do to lower the vcore?
Memory is set to 5-5-5-15 @2.1v (DDR2-800), by the way.
