what were your last 2 batches that sucked??
I just got my E8400 running, 445x9 prime95 small stable at 1.312v. I have a big problem though, idle temps in RealTemp are 51C! while load is 60C. How come my idle is so high and it only goes up by 10C at load? My Q6660 had much lower idle temps than this dual core. Last week I lapped my TRUE 120 because the surface had scratched my Q6660 a little bit and I wanted it to be smooth, did I mess it up or is it just a bad mount?

What could lead to such a high idle but small delta to load?
Tomorrow i will recieve my new E8400 Q807A097 . Hope it does a great job :)
which batch did you own before?? thanksQuote:

also where is everyone getting these older chips the q7xx stuff?? i cant find them anywhere.. ??
I have an e8500 q807a. Max stable on air is 4200 MHz 1.375v in bios 1.41v in everest and asus pc probe.
on another forum a guy has a q805a e8500 at 4.1 with 1.31volts.. so it appears maybe they are about the same or close to it.. not sure..
I have a question and in fact I still don't have an idea what is the solution.
My E8200 does 505x8 Prime Stable (Small FFT) but failed Blend after 30 minutes.
When I do a Blend for 505x7.5, it works perfectly fine.
Now, what's wrong? it looks like the RAM, etc can run 505FSB stable because on multiplier 7.5, every tests (Small FFT, Blend) passes but the moment I use default multiplier, it is screwed.
I've seen questions concerning same issues and have experienced it myself. I haven't heard a good answer and never figured it out. My system was completely stable other than blend. If i were you I'd run a few hours of OCCT, if it passes, then I wouldn't let that blend bother you.Quote:

In fact, Windows never crashes. I tried upping VTT and Vmch without any luck. Perhaps these stress test softwares is not the best to use for our 45nm's?
so where can i find one of these glorious 807's? i was about to order from the egg but i figured i would check here first on what batches to get.
where is everyone getting theres from?
thx
Here's my chip, got it couple months ago.

I've gotten 4.6 at just under 1.4v on watercooling
4.6Ghz Orthos stable at 1.4V? Are you kidding me? :p:Quote:

EDIT: About PLL Voltage, is there any risk of frying the cpu over 1.6v or is it safe ??
I don't think it affects the overclock a lot. Well at least in my case, I had it at the lowest voltage and still manage to get things stable.Quote:

I can say that E8500 Q809A655 is very good under aircooling.
i have 4ghz 1h occt for only 1.2v vcore :)
i m still testing it.
Q816A on the way to me... will post hopefully next week some results
Guys not orthos stable basically superpi run and thats about it.
Dont think it was stable.... will be benching it again to see if i can get higher, just awaiting to order DICE and get a pot from Flytek.
