Clearly it depends on the processor. I'm finishing my PC build using a E8400 (E0) and a UD3R motherboard.
The only thing I know for sure is that stock E8400 speed is 3.0GHz. What is stock Vcore voltage, and what is stock NB voltage, and what would stock Vtt etc be?
Or is all this revealed to me in the BIOS when I choose optimized defaults?
Technically isn't it possible that if you leave your voltages on Auto, the motherboard will use higher volatges than necessary, and thus actually run your setup at non-stock voltages?
I just want a nice starting point that is plain vanilla. My aim is to get to 3.6GHz at stock voltages or as close to stock as possible.
Sorry for the stupid question. It's my first Gigabyte/Overclock!
