I can't tell but what is your vcore set at?

And what P95 test are you running? Blend? SmallFFT? Large?

I'm running blend, sorry for the bad screenies! My vcore is at 1.384. I can run a stable 3.8ghz with a vcore of 1.344 and my temps never go over 65, im thinking of getting a hyper 212.

Failure of Blend is mostly due to unstable ram not cpu.

SmallFFT tests CPU.

The FSB is probity to high increase your CPU multiplier and decrease your FSB because on that board the speed of your FSB directly effects the speed of the ram.

Well I tried small SmallFTT, error on worker 2. Gameplaywarrior how low should i put my FSB, 222,333,400? Also my multiplier is already at the highest 9x. Anyone know about the other options on the AI tweaker like MEM OC charger, AI clock twister, etc. Should i enable them?

EDIT: Been playing around with many of the settings yet i still can't get a good 2+ hours on prime95, most i got was like 10 minutes

Ignore GPW, most of us here do. I'm surprised he's showing his face again after last time.

What memory ratio are you using? It might just be an unstable ratio setting.

445 x 9 is nothing for a 8400.

What do you have your ram settings setup as? Have you set them up in regards to voltage, timings and speeds?

IMO the vcore you have on your E8400 is pretty high
