E8500 @ 4700Mhz ALL AIR on Asus Commando

[Monstru]

Hey guys!

Well...it seems that Wolfdale is a true monster, and we are getting back to the old P4 clocks one more :D

This was done by my fellow forum-member Asus-Commando, as he was testing his brand new E8500. Unfortunately, he doesn't speak english (and he created an account here only yesterday), so I'll be posting this story for him.

Testbed:

E8500 Q740A
Asus Commando - Bios 1604
Team Xtreem 2x1Gb DDR2 800 3-3-3
Noctua NH-U12F + Noctua fans

Windows open, room temperature ~10 oC.



4702Mhz Spi 1M & CpuZ Validation (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=296770) - 1.67v

[Monstru]

FSB 580 Spi 1M & CpuZ Validation (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=296850)

[Monstru]

All air, in the case, with Noctua fans.... Fortunately, we have a very cold winter this year :D

So this is my friend's story, he is very hapy about this CPU, and I can't wait to put it under Dice or LN2 :D

Wolfdale RULEZ :D

[eva2000]

wow very nice FSB there!

[T_M]

lucky with those ambient temps :D
my room temp is your CPU temp rofl

[g1raffe]

Nice FSB chip! nothing special with the SPI time or clocks, but nice FSB!. :)

[G H Z]

Thats one sweet Wofldale your friend has there, congrats! :toast:

[giorgos th.]

all 8500 have shown 4.7+ ghz....that`s a very promising sign...hehehehe.....

[Viss]

Very nice FSB thats gonna make the difference as usual. Good on Commando, stil me dice board :D

[Timbosan]

nice clock, but great fsb. thats a nice cpu he's got there :up:

[ZoLKoRn]

Great FSB there! 550MHz on Air very nice :up:

[DFI pit bull]

These Wolfdale's are insane, thanks for sharring the results,
Multsumesc Monstru

[Spyrus]

Plz do a post at 9.5x400 @ 9.5x450 which are reasonable fsbs for 24/7 use with only the required vcore

[Monstru]

Thx guys :D

Dfi pit bull: It's my pleasure m8 - Cu placere! :)

Spyrus: Ok, I'll ask him to do that.

I am really waiting to take this chip and put it under Dice or LN2, the FSB is really giving me high hopes :)

[Garrett]

Great clocks there on air, but some e8500 cpu's don't seem to like 1.5v+ for 24/7 use and just die after a while.... hope this is not going to happen anymore, could you see what you can get stable at let's say 1.45v?

[RPGWiZaRD]

all 8500 have shown 4.7+ ghz....that`s a very promising sign...hehehehe.....

Not really all but many does at such high voltage, I'd like to see what voltage it needs for clocks like 4.4 ~ 4.5GHz personally to see if that would be 24/7 possible as I'm gonna pick up a E8400 and I'd really wanna reach 4.2GHz or so but for 24/7 usage I wouldn't use more than 1.5v or so, that's already quite a lot for a 45nm cpu.

At least Wolfdale doesn't look to be running that hot so it probably could whitstand say 1.6~1.65v for a longer period tempwise also on air if ambient temp is fine but the high voltage will still ruin it in the long run. :)

[Monstru]

Hey guys,

this is what he did in Orthos until now:

3800@1,35v
4000@1,40v
4200@1,45v

He si trying Orthos at 4420Mhz with 1.53v, but Orthos and DualPrime close right after he starts them. It doesn't give an error, it doesn't shut down the PC, they just turn off. I suppose that the system is not stable, but the behaviour is weird...

[Stelios]

Nice CPU there ! :)

Today i played with a watercooled E8400 . We only tried orthos for stability . With 1.5V real(1.55bios) , orthos stable at 4350Mhz. With 1.3V real (1.35bios) 4000Mhz orthos . Also , 4.5Ghz & 1.55V we run superpi .

[giorgos th.]

you played with a 8400???where???

[metro.cl]

What is the Room temp?

The CPU is really nice on FSB, how good it is in MHz depends on room temp

[eva2000]

woah 4000mhz at 1.4v orthos load temps on air of 44C! that's cooler than my E8500 on dtek fuzion water cooling at 4000mhz at 1.28v with 47C load temps but 30-33C room ambients LOL

[brickout]

noroc!

[Zeus]

Good enough for me. ;)

[ThatGuy16]

Great results!

I hope most retail chips will be this great of an OC'er :up:

[quintus]

:shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
;)

[Monstru]

eva2000: Hehe...room ambient ~10 degrees Celsius. Winter is so nice...-10 degrees outside, you just open the window and it gets chilly :D

brickout: noroc :)

metro.cl: you are right, this FSB would be even better under -0 temps. But my friend is more prouder of his clocks on air. Well....we'll se it under Dice in a few weeks :evil:

quintus Hey bro....didn't know you have an account here. Imagine this one under your chiller :D

[lazy]

10 degrees ? what are you guys wearing in your room!

those are some very nice clocks

[i found nemo]

nice dude.!!!!

have you tried 1t? i figure if ur fsb is so good u prolly got a good clockin' north bridge.

[MaSell]

this is what he did in Orthos until now:

3800@1,35v
4000@1,40v
4200@1,45v


my e8400 can do orthos 4.25G 1.33v cooled by box and ambient ~19'c ;)

[RPGWiZaRD]

Wanna sell? j/k :p:

[DShankar]

Wait 45nm runs in P965 chipset mobos? :eek: I swear I read that P965 won't support 45nm processors...

The p965 Asus boards run Penryn, don't think the others do..

Just sold @FS section ;)

I've got 2 such good chips (now one) :D

[MaSell]

got only that photo, but orthos can go muuuuuuuuuch longer :D

[DShankar]

http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/3920/alieniu4.jpg

got only that photo, but orthos can go muuuuuuuuuch longer :D Ah so you have both an E8500 & an E8400? How high does the E8400 go? 4.7 Ghz? :rolleyes:

[MaSell]

I got only E84s. I don't check it higher using air, because of high temp. I'm using box cooler :D

With phase easy 5.2GHz, can't go higher cuz mobo limited :(

[lukas69]

This wolfdales are very good CPU
:shocked:

[AriciU]

This wolfdales are very good CPU
:shocked:

I see that you're running yours at 1.35v 4250mhz. Any idea what you can get stable while keeping it at a max of 1.5v ?

[RPGWiZaRD]

Just sold @FS section ;)

I've got 2 such good chips (now one) :D

Aww crap, I really need to check that section more often. :(

[dinos22]

With phase easy 5.2GHz, can't go higher cuz mobo limited :(

me too

my mobo doesn't do half multies (FSB wall)

with half multies my chip would bench 5.4GHz on SS LOL

[Monstru]

MaSell: You've got a good one. Wanna sell this one to? (or share the FPO at least) :D

g1raffe: Dfi Infinity P965-S also supports Wolfdale ;)


I found nemo: My friend is crazy about Asus Commando...he had 5 or 6 until now, and all of them did > 550 FSB...And after seeing that FSB on that board.... I think taht that board is really good :) I don't know if he tried 1T though :)

[MaSell]

Q743A770, every chip with that FPO is great ;)

[KiD0M4N]

woah 4000mhz at 1.4v orthos load temps on air of 44C! that's cooler than my E8500 on dtek fuzion water cooling at 4000mhz at 1.28v with 47C load temps but 30-33C room ambients LOL

How come the CPUz is showing much lower voltage.

1.33V in the 4G orthos screenshot! If that is true, then my godz!

[RPGWiZaRD]

Q743A770, every chip with that FPO is great ;)

I hope that not only that batch is just an exception so that clocks like 4.2~4.5GHz stable for 24/7 would become plausible with E8500 and E8400 also on aircooling for majority of the samples.

[dinos22]

you can see what i did with my E8500 retail chips in the sig :)

[RPGWiZaRD]

Nice hadn't seen that, would be nice with a EE version of Wolfdale though to see what the chips REALLY are capable of. :D

[nicepun]

Any 3DMark06 benchies?

[Monstru]

KiD0M4N

I posted rhe voltage set in bios, of cours that CPU-Z shows lower :)

dinos nice clocks there man....wicked CPU :D

[THC]

Real nice ship that one :)

[xwards]

very nice, i get one myself :D

[maneta]

Wow I also want one, but my Abit AW9D-Max cant take them (I think - it only takes 1066mhz front side bus. Somoene knows if the wolfdale can run in my mobo?

[giorgadzed]

omg....

i am confused....

which is batter? OCZ REAPER or this Team Xtreem???

[moonsond]

well damn nice, i knew penryns are nice clockers on P35\X38, and now i know that nice old trusty P965 boards can clock them well too!
fuh. Now i'm more or less sure that my P5B Dlx C2 pretty sure won't be a bottleneck with one of these:)
Thanx for sharing!

[John Karlson]

Uhm.. Nice result... °°

[Monstru]

Hmm....another proof that Wolfdale clocks nice on good 'ol trusty P965 boards (this one is from me, not my friend). Dfi Infinity P965-S + E8200, some relaxed testing.

[Okda]

Nice

[maneta]

Monstru - awseome!!!!!! So it probably will work on my mobo :clap: :shocked:

[quintus]

give it to me!!!pls!!!!!!!:D

HI to all members ,
my very first post and curious about Monstru your Noctua fan.

how many RPM was the fan and cfm running on the test ?

[Monstru]

Hey there, welcome :)

It is not my fan (the results with the E8500 are done by my friend Asus-Commando) but from what I know it is a Noctua NF-S12-1200 at 1200rpm. BUT keep in mind that the window was open, there were -xx degrees outside and ~10-15 degrees in the house :)

Very nice :)
Keep it on :D

[emoners]

hehehe can't wait till SuperPi would run 1M at less than 5secs :rotf:

great run dude! :D

[Monstru]

What about when we'll have to run Spi 2M because 1M would only run under 1 sec :D

[Infa]

Hehe, Wonder how Nahalem will treat Super-pi :) (or is it that one?)

On die MCH and a faster arcitecture :P , Then we are goin to see fast numbers!

[giorgos th.]

a few minutes with my second 8500...seems good...
runs tons of 06 cpu loops at 3820mhz @ 1.176Vcore..

[Monstru]

That is a very good chip you've got there :) What FPO is it?

[emoners]

well i'd like to see 'em Wolfdales benched with the current Conroes & Kentsfelds.

[giorgos th.]

Q740A476T..
Another half hour with 1.28Vcore and 20C room temp.

[emoners]

what are your temps guys on those 4ghz runs?

[weescott]

4.9GHZ CPUZ on air.

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=299809

Max stable on air was about 4.4ghz.

[bonzo_catalin]

Waiting for Dice/LN2 results .:up:

[Pacha]

hahaha I can't remember the name of the one who told me I'll be crying like mad with my commando when wolfdales will be out :rolleyes:

great clocks here!! so sexy CPUs! 4.4G stable on air seems to be very achievable! seems like the range is 4.2-4.5G stable for everybody, I definitely hope to reach 4.4G or maybe more under wc with an E8400

[Spacemaster]

This is max at AIR (Thermalright 120 Extreme) ;)

Whoa MOMMA! 4.97ghz on air, very nice!

Watch out for the 24/7 Vcore guys....it seems there is a degradation of mhz from day to day...
i guess around 1.36V should be the most acceptable for 24/7 usage..

[Zeus]

Spacemaster, that is one freaky cpu you got there. :up:

What FPO#?

24/7 4.5GHz at water (1.51 V), but I do not have that CPU any more
This is with LN2 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=171836

Ah ok, no probem, very nice cpu though. :up:

[Monstru]

Ah guys...I can't even tell you how angry I am because I don't have the time right now to put LN2 on these little suckers. I have an QX9650, an E8400 and this wonderful E8500 just screaming for cold....But work...life...daily stuff is killing me...I hope that by the end of February we'll come up with some nasty numbers :evil:

[giorgos th.]

guess i`ve found my low 24/7 config..
room temp ~24C with the rad fans at low rpm (~1100).

anyone here running 24/7 @ 1,5v or above ?

holly smokes!! 24/7 4.2Ghz?? simply amazing..just cant imagine what 32nm intels will do:shocked:

[giorgos th.]

one more...still searching...i`d prefer giving max 1.4Vcore for 24/7 usage...

Untill now I only had about 3 hours to play with it, and this is what I've got :D

1. Max clocks until now - 4775Mhz (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=305620) @ 1.60v, 24 oC room temp

2. SuperPi - 4740Mhz - 9.766s

3. Orthos

- 4000Mhz @ 1.28v
- 4150Mhz @ 1.33v

I've seen Orthos @ 4400 with ~1.47v, but the temps were really high and I didn't have the heart to let it longer to make a screenshot, without better cooling.

4. FSB

I have to test it on a capable board, untill now I have the feeling that my Maximus is holding me back at ~550. Does anyone has this FPO? What was the FSB you guys ot with this FPO?


A few words

-Orthos reads the clocks wrong
-Core Temp 0.96 gives false readings (it stops at 70 oC), Core Temp 0.96.1 gives somehow more accurate readings, but very high numbers.....


Anyway....I love this little sucker and I can't wait to feed it some sub-zero cooling :yepp:
