yes i agree 100% with that Sam. I have my E8400 OC'd to 3.8ghz stable and running everyday. i have to accept that and stop OCD'ing about running 4.0ghz everyday. 3.8 is awesome. when i get me a Q9650 then ill worry bout 4.0 everyday speed..lol
and as for the mem. i think it will be going back today.

Yeah the E8400 has a high multiplier of 9, so you can get 3.75Ghz before PC6400 starts being overclocked, and any decent PC6400 can go 5% or so, which would get you to near enough 4G.

my corsair PC6400 clocked to 8500 speeds no problems when i had it.
also the SPD is fail safe values that the manufactureres put in, so that the mobo will boot up even with lower Vdimm, due to PC8500 needing around 2Vs or higher, and wjec standard is about 1.8, so the manufactureres use a lesser SPD so you can boot up, from then you can set the board to the correct timings/speeds/voltages, and it will be fine.
2.22Vs big will, is fine, i have 2.3 running through mine, but dont use 2.2 on DDR3 :D
sam i gotta gree with you, i notice no difference when using the same clock and different speeds, but when i have to increace the speed with a 1:1 (effect FSB to effect RAM) then i do, but thats, im guessing, due to the CPU speed increace.
the E0 E8400s seem to be hitting 4+Ghz fine aswell, also rob what cooler are you using?

is that the lapped one?
what are your temps?
lower your multi to 6-7 and try and raise your FSB to 450 ish, it may be you have FSB holes in your mobo?
and keep your RAM:FSB ratio 1:1, so 450MHz RAM (900 effective):450FSB (1800 effective)

FSB holes shouldn't exist with Intel chipsets, I've never encountered any.

i can do that easy with my ddr2 800 crucial now its anything over 900 they cant handle,and thats leaveing my cpu multi at 9

sam they do happen just not often and will only be a few mhz here and there.
no harm in trying to see if your mobo can do the 500FSB which with the 9 multi will give 4GHZ, but try with a lower multi first to see if it isnt the mobo holding you back.

drop the multi 1:1 and go to 500, you tried that, 2.2on the Vdim and 1.4 on the NB and 1.35 on the VTT (aka FSBT)

well i cnat change any settings on hte NB volts os im stuck there.
and i just tried 500fsb and it wouldnt boot... took the mem out and put back in the ddr2 800. all is well at 3.82ghz oc and mem running at 850mhz total fsb at 1700.... thats where it stays. when i get my new build going i will worry about getting more of a OC.
and my temps right now is 39-41c on core1 core0 has the stuck sensor at 45c. temp have been as low as 32c. so maybe with the vendetta they will drop to 27-30c

That does sound odd, even my P35 board had NB voltage options I'm pretty sure of it.

well see. i was told the MCH was the SB volts....then that is my problem cause i have only taken it up to 1.24as the highest ive had it. as for the ICH i know i dont see anything for it to adjust.
well let me go in and bump the MCH upto what? 1.35 or so?
heres the next question with takeing the MCH up would that help the vcore volts not need to be as high? caues ive been takeing up the vcore and not messin with the mch any
VTT whats is that? i also can adjust the cpu pll, but once again i dont know what that is for and what it does??

I don't know if your board will have a southbridge voltage control, I wouldn't think that'd be too necessary. The northbridge is the one you will need. (MCH = Memory controller hub)

ok leave VTT, and PLL right now, you wont need those yet, though you may need them a bit later.
stick to your 9 multi, and crank up the FSB to the next important setting (450).
put the MCH to 1.35 atm, and hopefully that will work.
upping the MCH does not mean you can lower the Vcore, it allows a higher FSB, which is not normally attainable.
can you take a picture of the voltage options on the bios?

PFN list corrupt, suggests bad page file, could be overclock-related.

Memory controller not stable enough to handle 1057mhz memory perhaps?
