E8600 + different boards

Ok so I got the new one even though I really didn't want to buy it.. I know I know sign of a weak mind :p:

So here we go!
Day 1 Hardware:
Intel E8600 [Q820AXXX]
Gigabyte EP45T-Extreme
Gigabyte 9600GT [Turboforce - fanless | NO VMODS]
OCZ Plat 1600EB
7200.9 160GB
Silverstone DA-1000
Benq 19" LCD

Cooling:
LN2 with Astra on CPU and Tek-9 4.0 on GPU.

OS was a little bit stripped WinXP.

Some results I would like to share:

CPU-Z Validation

Observation:
First the board, I think the board I have is not really friendly. I mean with E8400 it couldn't boot more then 555FSB. With E8600 I have got it going in windows @ 580. Anything high it will crash while loading.
Now the Graphic card, honestly I think if I don't run LN2 on GFX and just use chilled-liquid cooling.. I can manage same. The card is cold-bugged at -60C, hence I could not push it high enough to take the top spots:p Also I did not use the GamerHUD utility and still card worked fine till 870 for 3D01 and 860 for others. Strange thing for me was 3DM03... I mean I thought I could go higher but during GT2 @ one point before ending it would slow down drastically and that will give lower score :( I think 48K was possible. May be some other day and driver will make the cut.

Many thanks to Gigabyte and Silverstone for support :)

Day 2
Hardware:
Intel E8600
Foxconn BlackOps
Kingston 14400 CL9
XFX 6600GT
7200.9 160GB
Benq 19" LCD

Cooling:
ASTRA on CPU
Stock cooling on XFX 6600GT
120mm on RAM

Since I got about 6-7 liters left of my 30liter. I decided to try the chips pure clocking. I had the chip @ 1.799V [Real] and booted right @ 580FSB with not so scary volts on vPLL and VTT :)

This session only lasted 80mins as I wasted some time on Pi32M @ 5600.
Well here are the scores:

Super Pi 1M

http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=770678
Haha I did not notice the screen tear untill I uploaded it on HWBOT.. well I guess it can count as everything needed can be seen :p:

Super Pi 32M
http://www.imgx.org/files/22570_ao1gz/BO_Pi32M_5806.JPG
http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=770680

Offcourse the CPU-Z validation


When I get more LN2 I wish to update this post for sure. I feel like the chip has 620-630FSB in it with more time to play with settings on this superb board. :D

DAY 3 Hardware:
Intel E8600
DFI P45 DK T2RS [Many thanks to DFI]
Corsair PC9136C5D [Many thanks to Corsair]
XFX 6600GT
7200.9 160GB
Benq 19" LCD
Silverstone DA-1000 [Many thanks to Silverstone]

Cooling:
ASTRA on CPU
Stock cooling on XFX 6600GT
120mm on RAM

Since my ram wil not really clock that well on this board. I had no option to cut the session short. I rather save my limited quantity of LN2 for one more run on BlackOps.

Result:

Thank you all.

Very impressive run there on the Blackops :eek:. The CPU seem to have a little more headroom, just need time i guess, but that you might have already known. :p:



:up:

Nice run m8, look like Spi very fast on BlackOps :up:

waiting to see more ;)

nice work! waiting to see some results on the DFI board too. Is it DFI Dark?

Nope man, its DFI P45 DK T2RS Plus. I hope to get good results with Corsair PC9136C5D OR Team Xtreem PC5300 ram kits I have with me. I think I have damaged my Crucials PC8000 while doing mad dash to 525MHz 3-3-3-XX :D

@ Zolkorn, thanks bro!! :D
@ ANP, dude you already know it off THL thread ;)

that pi1m at 6.1ghz is quite fast bro :up:.... really nice numbers, you got nice E8600 too.

Very impressive fsb for blackops! Congrats!!

GREAT WORK m8 :D

VERY IMPRESSIVE :D

How much ln2 was spent on those runs ? :D

Looks good hars, seems like you got the post sorted out and up ;)

peter i reckon 30 liter, after what he state

thx for sharing the scores Harshal and keep pushing

Great m8... very fast and neat chip you got there.

Thanks guys :D
I will update soon... when I get more LN2.. as right now.. I am ZERO $$$$ wise :p:

Nice numbers and nice to see a mix of boards tested here.

:clap: Congrat. Black Ops really do great result. Looking forward on the DFI.

Nice work

That's the same E8600??!!!
5.8Ghz at 1.7 volts on Gigabyte and 6.1Ghz at 1.2 volts on Foxconn Black ops???!!!

Here's a screenshot from post#2. :shocked:
Did CPUz read the voltage wrong or is your chip that good.
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...zzzzzzzzzz.jpg

I have mentioned that VCORE was 1.79V. CPU-Z cant read exact info on Foxconn boards. Its a silly CPU-Z + Foxconn error :D

Will properly update the thread soon ;)
For now I have this:
Intel E8600
DFI P45 DK T2RS PLUS [Many thanks to DFI]
Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC8500 [Thanks Z]
XFX 6600GT
7200.9 160GB SATA
Benq 19" LCD
Silverstone DA-1000 [Many thanks to Silverstone]

AIR COOLING: Intel (Xeon-3040) Stock cooler with 120MM + 120mm on RAM :D
Ambient Temp: 26c [Air-Con]
For some reasons I cant boot @ 600. So 560FSB boot and then SetFSB :up:
http://www.thehardwarelabs.com/forum...f68d958788.jpg

BTW, My first post with P45 higher then 610FSB done with EP45-DS3R :woot:

Nice work:up:
The DFI board should be able to pull some good fsb numbers:p:

harshal Very good FSB on BlackOps........:up:

Nice works friend :yepp:

The DFI board, it's the non-PLUS...? I wonder if they solved the FSB limitations on that one:)
