Where is BeastNotro these days? I rarely see him anymore.

I hate long period of prime95 runs :mad: it's not a good idea to load CPU with 2-3 hours prime95... (sorry, that's just my opinion) and btw it shows us, if a system stable or not...

E8600 @ 4665 MHz 24°C ambient CPU/NB Watered
Q820A627/E43453-001/07-24-08
VCPU 1.47 VNB 1.45 Load (CPU-Z VCore is buggy with BlackOps)

Me too! I hate it even more when you're almost stable and it errors out after a few hours, meaning you gotta wait for it to go through the same crap all over again... and again... :down:

Perhaps you should use Intel Burn program, you know the one which uses Linpack. I find it ideal for innitial testing. If it's stable for 15 runs (which take up around 15 minutes) you have a good indication that the system is fairly stable. Mind you, I gives your CPU hell :D
Got my E8600 running temps of 90 degrees Celcius, that's with watercooling. Prime and Orthos will max out at 70 degrees.

the thing is, for me atleast, when using linx (linpack) i works 10-15 rounds, and THAT pushes the cpu more than prime, but prime fails Small FFT in 30 mins or less... dont get it? WHY? goin crazy why prime just wont be as easy though it loads less on the cpu.

hmmm you got me... :confused: I do know that you have to give Linpack as much as ram as you can give it to be thorough enough. I usually kill as much processes I can, so that with my 2GB rig I give 1.65GB to Linpack. Untill now this process worked best for me.

IntelBurnTest doesnt stress Ram too much.

No i know linpack doesnt do that, but Small FFT's dont stress ram at all either, thats the thing... or have i got it wrong, small calculations stresses cpu, and large memory used onés stresses RAM... thats why i wonder why prime SMALL fails and not heavy duty linpack.

Gaming dayz long, 3D Marks & IBT stable and they call me "unstable guy" cuz of prime95 fails after unnecessary 2-3 damn hot hours... I know people run prime95 10-15 hours long :confused: it's a useful test but not a goal...

No, I won't use it. I used to use it but after coming to my senses I realized there is no chance I'll ever tax the system as much as IBT stresses it, never in a million years. I find it excessively stressful. No game, application or anything else is ever going to stress it like that, so why bother? It's putting the CPU in a completely unrealistic situation.

I want a stable processor, sure, however, I don't want to cook it and eat it for dinner.

Whatkind of temps did your 1.4V give whit intelburner?

If i remeber right your chip was 1.250 VID, So it should go around 70c (atleast my situation)

Yeah my 8600 at 1.40 gives 67c with LinX. and its a vid 1.25

Yes, it goes to around 70. VID is indeed 1.2500v.

Yup, higher vid's runs cooler its clear! :cool:

Remeber that i have Quad, 2-core more to make heat :D
xigmatek is doing good job !

yeah higher VID gives less margin when you raise vcore, therefore lower VID's works at a higher temp, cant be any other reason?

Whehe, that's nothing compared to the 90 degrees on my E8600 (VID 1.2000) @ 4500MHz and 1.32v .... and that's with watercooling :D

:eek:

Your sure that your cooling works right?

Whehe yes yes. It's known that low VID stepping run hotter than ones with higher VID. It's also known that the Intel Burn program will ad +20 degrees on you normal load temperature. Normaly during Priming and Orthos my max temp is 68 degrees.

I allready looked into it, but there are simular reports of high temps with this stepping ( Q822A435 ) I haven't changed anything on my setup. Waterblock is lapped , uses Arctic Silver 5 and makes perfect contact. My last E8500 ran a lot cooler compared to this E8600. It's just a hit chip, but it clocks like hell (4500Mhz @ 1.32v) so I'm not complaining. :D
But it also could be the temp sensor of the chip itself is off. I've got SSS (Stuck Sensor Syndrome) according to Real Temp.
Idle will not go lower than 41 degrees even with ambient 18 degrees and 3Ghz @ 1.16v

and again :) why stop it before printscreen? thought we agreed on load numbers?

I think he did that to show how many hours Prime was running.

yeah i know that ;) but still? the vcore can be really missleading if not loaded, it can be a huge vdrop, or it can raise at load?, and we know simple math right? you know, it says when the workers started and where it's at? just add the hours? why be in a race when you do not follow the rules? im not pissed or anything... but ...just do it?
