    Has any one been able to get a good overclock using an Intel E8400 CPU and Asus P5N-E-SLI mobo? If so, how did you do it? Thanks.

    You have to go to the Jumper config in your BIOS. Then you have to set overclock to manual, and adjust your FSB to the desired frequency. I use mine at around 1650MHZ (3.3Ghz effective). Adjust your CPU voltage from auto to around 2.8V (Don't go over 3.3V i would say. )

    *Remember overclock in increments.

    Some people use 1.4 on the 8400. Best not to go higher than 1.37 though.

    Update to the latest Bios from Asus website to see if it helps , it helps mine overclock better with latest Bios, thats in my P5K-Deluxe. Running 24/7 at 4.1 with only 1.39v. and a thermalright Ultra 120 Xtreme.

    Nothing works, thanks for all the suggestions

    I found a posting on the Asus website where an OEM builder stated that Asus had provided a version 1001 BIOS that allowed the E8400 to be overclocked with FSB at 1600+ - that was about 10 days ago and although the writer said that Asus was going to post the BIOS on their ftp site, this has not happened.

    Oh, by the way...the Asus P5NESLI Vcore adjustment range is .85 to 1.6 Volts, so there was no way that the "2.8 volts" typo on Vcore adjustment (that was recommended) posed a danger to burning-up the CPU.

    Thanks for all the help. If and when I get this baby up to 3.6 GHz I'll post my solution.

    Ps. Although I am listed as a "Newbie" I have been resgistered and visiting the website since 2004.

    The 'Newbie' asessment is based on your post count.
