I got a E4500 at the weekend hoping to push it to around 3.2 however no such luck, the best i have had out of it stable is only 2.75! Iv played around with various voltages/fsb/multipliers etc. Still running on an intel stock fan atm (not the one that came with it though, a bigger one) so once i have sorted out my TTBT i will report back but im not expecting much tbh
InteL Core2 Duo Desktop Processor E4500 - SLA95
It's apparently pretty common for people to be putting up to 1.5v through these man so give it some beans!
[EDIT: Watch the temps with that cooler though.]

Seems i was being a little light handed witht he voltages. Pushed it up one more notch and its gone up to 3Ghz
Sweeeet!
So what voltage have you got it set to atm?
about 1.44, i didnt like the idea of taking it past 1.4 mainly cuz of my flatmate having trouble even before this point although he has pushed his aswell now so....
As has been noted in reviews etc, the grading in the choice of voltages is very poor on this board although ur getting the pro so will be ok
Does seem like quite high volts, my E4300 is at 3GHz on 1.3625V (set in bios, in reality slightly lower). Surely the E4500 should need less juice to hit 3GHz.
thats what i thought
Flewis thats quite normal, i needed jack all of a voltage push to hit 3.2, but to go further the voltages started to really need raising.. like one notch every 5mhzfsb increase.
Done a bit of reading Biscuit and apparently using a 10x multiplier might offer better results.
M0 stepping on E4500, good overclock ? - [H]ard|Forum
yeah i read that too, im on 10 x 300 atm
Niiice, haha.
You got the DRAM ratio at 1:1.25 so the memory'll be set to DDR375 (or even 1:1.5 if you fancy overclocking it)?
My E4500 is at 3ghz with under 1.4v on a 975X motherboard. I got it when the E4500 was just released. However later batches probably will need higher voltages. My E4300 was also from an early batch too and needed less volts for successful overclocking. The later ones needed more volts it seems!

That's an unfortunate stepping
as is

That's very odd, it's well under what your memory's capable of. You got the voltage set to whatever it's rated at?Tried the overclock but she didnt like it
it runs at 750 fine, an OC to 900 which is the next step? only with the timings slackened to 5 5 5 would it handle that i reckon
