Overclocking Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 @ 3.33 GHz to 4.2 GHz: BIOS Settings & Voltage

Hello.

I have a problem. Maybe someone will know something about overclocking the Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 @ 3.33 G processor H. with.

In my older computer, I recently tried to crank up the Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 processor. I cranked it up every 20 M H. with. I tweaked the BIOS from 333 M H. from up to 353 M. H. z at the x10 multiplier (i.e. it would be overclocked to 3.53G H. z) and with the voltage as it was, i.e. 1.30 V and after saving everything and exiting the BIOS, the computer turned off after rebooting. I would like to get a maximum of about 4.2 GHz with overclocking (OC). I just want to "get" something else from this processor, because it will be a gift for another person who will be completely satisfied with it.

I turned the computer back on with the power button, but it went on and off - there was only a black background on the monitor screen. So I re-entered the BIOS and changed the CPU Host Frequency (M H. z) on 333 M H. z / x10 multiplier (as it was in the beginning) and now works normally.

I would like to add that after entering the BIOS, a message appeared on a red background that something was wrong - below is in the photo.

What am I doing wrong? Where am I making a mistake? What do you have to do?

Here are pictures of my BIOS and the message that appeared with a red background:


Here is the specification of my motherboard (which is also important for overclocking) GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-ES2L [rev. 1.0]:
http://www.gigabyte.pl/products/page/mb/ga-g41mt-es2l_10/specs/

Does anyone know what is wrong here and what can be done here? I know this CPU overclocks without any problems and the motherboard also has the "ability" to overclock. So what's wrong here? I am asking for any advice and comments on this matter.

My computer configuration is:
FULL COMPUTER SPECIFICATIONS:
1) Here are the details of my GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-ES2L motherboard [rev. 1.0]:

2) I use KINGSTON RAM for the motherboard and the model is:
Kingston 8GB DIMM DDR3 4096MBx2 PC10666 1333MHz Kingston [KVR1333D3N9K2 / 8G /].

3) My HDD is:
SAMSUNG EcoGreen F3 HD253GI SpinPoint physical disk (250 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA-II, buffer: 16MB).

4) Basic integrated sound card:
Realtek ALC887 @ Intel 82801GB ICH7 - High Definition Audio Controller [A-1] (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controler).

5) I use to change operating systems:
Windows XP Professional SP3 PL and Windows 7 Professional SP1 PL. It is such a DUAL BOOT.

6) My computer power supply is:
Spire Jewel EE-ATX-420W-C1-PFC (Passive PFC). It is not a miracle of technology, but it has been working flawlessly for 7 years (it does not reset, runs quite quietly, was not returned under warranty, etc.).

7) My current fan / cooler in my power supply is:
YATE LOON ELECTRONICS, D12SL-12, DC 120V, 0.30A (YL FAN, 1002).

8) MY PURPOSE OF CPU REPLACEMENT AND OVERCLOCKING:
I mainly need a computer for normal use (no games). I don't want to play the games here (and certainly not the newest ones). That's why I only have a basic integrated graphics card:
Intel (R) G41 Express Chipset (Chipset Type: Intel (R) 4 Serial Express Chipset Family, Converter Type: Internal, Memory Size: 512MB, Card String: Intel (R) GMA 4500, BIOS Info: Intel Video BIOS , 3D accelerator: Intel GMA X4500, video card: Intel (R) G41 Express Chipset (512 MB).

I just wish my computer was more "agile" and a bit faster.

Thank you in advance for your answer and help in the OC.

Best regards.

Ps. 1: If I missed something important, please let me know and I will add the missing points.
Ps. 2: Thanks to the user: @ cxzcxz123 (for points to highlight the topic)

In your case, I find it absolutely pointless to tweak this grandfather, especially that it is supposed to be a gift.

You won't notice the acceleration, and what you get tired of is yours. Later problems may also arise.

Combine with the memory divider, voltage up, and if it crashes at 3.53 GHz, try higher - sometimes there is a 'hole' at some point and you have to jump over it.
Overclocking at 20Mhz is no comment at all. Who does it and why?

This power supply looks suspicious to me and this may be the reason.

He recommended such overclocking to me from this forum @ Kasek21 But better every 20 Mhz as well as every 200 Mhz and burn something etc. This is a method for patients. And the power supply started to "buzz" only once in 7 years, but never reset, etc. - at that time it was a good power supply, although it is already an older generation computer. I just want to get a little more out of it.

In my opinion, it pays off to overclock this processor model, although don't expect nobody knows what. My colleague has this processor overclocked to 3.7GHz.

I know that it pays off. I don't expect too much from it, because for that you need a super motherboard, a very fast disk and very fast frames. I want to turn it up "out of curiosity". Yes, up to 4.00 GHz and no more. There are records that people turned it up to about 5.00 GHz, and I would also like to see out of curiosity how much of my model can get the most out, because it is known that not everyone can do the same. I would like to see what timing it will run steadily and on what it will rain. This is more about such a test, but I am surprised that when I put it 20 MHz higher, it is already raining. That's why I wrote here for advice, because something is wrong.

Do not expect miracles from this album.
The hob has 3 phases without cooling.
The G41 won't pull too much either.

On HWbot max for G41 I saw 400MHz.
The processor will probably do a lot, but the board will limit you much sooner.

If you want to try your hand at first, you set the PCIE to 100MHz.
You set a lower multiplier for the ram (with the default FSB set to 1066MHz).

He plots tensions. Those that you do not change set to factory rigidly. AUTO is the worst thing you can do because the disc sets whatever it wants.

If you have an 'old' power supply, be careful because if you fall, it's not alone ...

The greater profit will be when you optimize the operating system and not overclock the CPU. People are going the easy way because they think I'll turn it up faster. I have this CPU in the Hp DC7800 SFF which has no overclocking options and I can say so much. I spent a few hours optimizing the system, disabling unnecessary services, running unnecessary programs, and changing the registry and it works like I would buy a framework. Previously, there were some YT issues at 1080p 60FPS and now 1440p 60FPS is running smoothly. At most, you can make a barbecue on this power supply

This E8600 processor is very stable for me at 4.0Ghz, I think it will go (ASUS P5QC). He just got 7 hot pipes and the temperature dropped from 72 degrees to below 50 which at 1.306V core is promising

Added after 1 [hours] 58 [minutes]:

Well, it just went to 4.5 but I don't want to torture it with Vcore 1.42V.
i am thinking of stabilizing it at 4.3. He went because I put on a monster that hit 25 to 30 degrees which was more earlier on the box of this cooling
