That's a lot of volts for 4500 spi. I thought these were supposed to be stable for 4500mhz 24/7 at around 1.33v or so. Yours has an unusually high VID too... that makes it a cool chip to run though.

Test some OCCT / prime when you have the time.

Yeah, you're right about the vid. I haven't done any thorough testing yet so I may be overvolting the vcore. It did run p95 blend for a few minutes before I stopped it.

Check the VID with Coretemp 0.99 please. I think it's more accurate. For my chip it was anyway.

I used Real Temp. Min Vid.:1.100, Max Vid.: 1.250

I'm failing Orthos at 1.355 volts myself, but I think I might be doing something wrong. I did hear about 1.30v but I thought that was an anomaly too... 1.33-1.35v does seem quite normal.

kick that pig !

**WhiteFireDragon** · 08-06-2008, 10:31 AM

every e8600 start out with E0 stepping by default right?

**ante_ante** · 08-06-2008, 10:38 AM

Got my E8600 with batch Q820A602 but i dont have a supported bios yet so i got temp reading temps. But on friday i will recieve my new Rampage Extreme so with that i going to test some overclock. Just tried 400x10 with 1.20 vcore. Seems that i got a lower VID.

that version of coretemp is not accurate. Use coretemp .99.1

**nfm** · 08-06-2008, 11:48 AM

For those who got it, please post your batch, cooling & temps and whether it can run +1.5v without BSODing or getting crazy hot. Thanks

**Vivi** · 08-06-2008, 11:59 AM

lol nfm i know what you planning

**CCC** · 08-06-2008, 12:41 PM

to the thrread starter!
How about batch code + pack dates?

would make this thread alot more useful than just a bunch of screen shots if we can place a face 'stepping/batch' to the sshots

thanks also location and store purchased?

**Leeghoofd** · 08-06-2008, 12:43 PM

I will add these beauties to the OC list ...

**~~Zucker2k~~** · 08-06-2008, 03:27 PM

Looking good... stability test will come soon.

Asus Rampage Formula, bios 0407
E8600, Q820A604

hi
I noticed you have some really high fsb on your e8600, how did you manage that, i am struggling to get past 470, you manage 600, dont suppose you could post all your bios settings for me,be interesting to see if it would work for me, i assume this is on air.appreciate it zuker if you can do that.
