I thought 1.40v is safe, but soem are saying lower then that on AIR = 1.38... :)

I thought 1.40v is safe, but soem are saying lower then that on AIR = 1.38... :)
If true then 4.0-4.3 maybe is what all can be done on decent to good chips at that voltage on Air.
My E8600 why so hot, @ 4.23Ghz with vcore 1.256 CPUz
idle : 43C - 50C , depending what time during the day
load : 68C - 75C , again depending hot day or cool day here in northern california .
and my TRUE was lapped and washer modded and reseated , the same hot result.
4Ghz required 1.19v and was pretty cool even on a hot day. But then I am running watercooling. Not very good watercooling but it's enough. New case will have a swiftech mcr 320 dedicated to the CPU alone. Atm I've got 2x 240s cooling the CPU, NB and 3870X2's.

I just picked one up this morning
Q820A596
VID 1.25
running at 10x400 in windows at 1.248 vcore
7 hours of orthos, the highest I saw either core hit was 41C. Ambient case temp of 24C
looks like no more stuck sensors like I have with my QX9650 either.
I'm going to drop the vcore a couple of notches and see if it is still stable.
oh yeah babe :D 4,3ghz with 1,24v set in bios gave me this

orthos stable to a couple hours :eek: Q820A601
check it out here:

4800MHz aw yeah! :up: Temps aren't too bad either. ~46c whilst doing everyday things in Windows... Then as I stated earlier, I've a dodgey waterblock contact atm so roll on the new CPU block and tripple rad dedicated to the CPU! :D
My real concern is the PLL tbh. I think it's a tad high for this CPU... 1.56v=~1.65v - think I'll try and bring it down if I can...

:eek: 1,160v cpu-z reading and 4300mhz Orthos stable yet over 2 hour and 39 minutes and counting :D set 1,2v in bios

I managed that on 1.19v CPU-Z Reading :D These things are just so sweet it's unreal!
I just got 4800MHz running on a 266 strap so I'm bringing down the voltages :D

Opps, my bad...
did some more orthos testing on mine.
at 4 ghz, it passed at 1.232 in windows for 5 hours. temps were under 40 c for both cores (topping out at 38/39C for cores).
I'm going to drop it another couple of notches to see if its stable lower.
one thing I noticed from this chip and my quad is that my NB is running a few C cooler for some reason as well.
So whats the general consensus as far as cpu fsb voltage goes ? Would running 1.2 fsb daily be too much for these chips ? I ask because mine takes 1.208 load to do 4.0ghz w/ 1.15 fsb. I might be able to get it a bit lower by upping the fsb up one more notch.
I just got mine up amd running. VID is 1.1125. Currnetly testing at 400x10, cpuz shows 1.168 load. With my cheap dmm I get 1.14 volts. Going to let Orthos run for a while and check temps. 42 is the highest it has gone so far.
Ok,
So I was freaking out over the temps of my new E8600, so I RMA'ed it and got another. Q820A405 this time, and still temps are idle 47 / load 58-60 with Intel Burn Test. This is at default speed and voltage, no oc, and an ambient room temp of 21c.
I too have lapped and washered my TRUE, with no difference at all.
CoreTemp reports vID of 1.1875.
I called Intel yesterday to try and get some answers, but I was greeted by a Tech who didn't even have the E8600 in his system, so he created a case number pertaining to an E8500:confused::confused::confused:
So when I got thru to the next tech, he proceeded to inform me that they can not give a idle temp average as there are too many variables between systems. He did say however that the max temp for the E8600 is 72.4c, and that the vID ranged from .85v to a max recommended voltage of 1.3625v. I confirmed this at processorfinder.intel.com and all was as the tech said. He said if my temps were peaking at 58-60c, that I should be happy with them. I asked him how my old E6320 clocked to 2.8Ghz at 1.34375v could idle at 19-22c and under load peak at 38-42, yet this new E8600 at only 1.1875 idles at 47c and peaks at 58-60c? He said it was the 45nm process. I was quite shocked at this answer. It just doesn't make sense to me.
But I must admit, I am glad to see that others are reporting the same kind of temps with these new chips. It just goes against everything I have ever tried to accomplish with my temps, as I strive to keep them below 50c for the well being of the chips.
I would have to say that maybe the temp programs are not reading these new chips E0 100% properly... as it goes against all logic that a 45nm COOLER chip can be hotter then a 65 NM HOTTER chip .. how so unless these new chips have a turbo engine built into them to get 3.33ghz... :)
I am hoping so too ..... as my E8600 should arrive Monday or Tuesday.
Hi,
here is mine E8600 Q822A435 VID 1.2375v need volt to get 4.5 stable but don't seems too hot eighter. (62°c max under water)
4.5ghz (7.5 x 600) @ 1.38v OCCT (CPU test)
