here is mine ...P95 stable for 8 something hours ... just the max temp it got up to 67C is kinda high i think ... but it idles at 44C
@ReverendMaynard
dang 1.5V ... you going to run it 24/7 with that much juice?
I'm curious. Have you tried running it stable with lower Vcore yet? 1.36 just seems a bit high for 4000 Mhz on these chips. I'd be really interested to see how low you can take your Vcore and keep it stable at that speed.Quote:

so i think tonight i should have it finished with the lowest stable voltage i can
im running e8400 batch Q815A181 what kinda volts do you think i should be able to boot up with?
@zlo
TRUE120 extreme
Hmm...those temps seem pretty high for such a good cooler. Is the cooler flat? I know that I had to lap mine (it's now in a secondary rig, keeping an E4500 super-cool).
not sure as to how flat it is .... i guess im going to have to look ...
what should i be getting on a stock 3GHz temps then? any ideas ...
Depends a lot on what your ambient temps are I guess, but in a 80 F room (not sure what that is in C) mine is running about 36-40 idle and 58-60 under load. But that's at 4000 MhzQuote:

my ambient temp is 87F (30C)
30C ambient inside!!! Wow, you must be roasting!Quote:

so far its lookin like 1.31V BIOS and 1.29 CPU-z is non stable and about 1.33V BIOS and 1.31V CPU-z is about the lowest i think i can get ... ill keep running some tests and see ...
So far, anybody tested E0 stepping for E8400 or E8500?
could you please post you bios settings and revision as i am unable to get my 8500 stable above 475fsb on my maximus extremeQuote:

I had one question...
What i have to do to go over 3600MHz with E8400 stable ? I try everything but without success :confused: Max voltage i tried is about 1,39v. My CPU need 1,3 volt to run at 3,6GHz stable... I cant even think about the volts needed by this CPU to run at 4 GHz :eek: Maybe i had most sh1t E8400 in the world with wall at 3,6...
@ Zeus
I will, thanks for the link.
what volts are you running your ram at... and what is your ram rated for?Quote:

have you tried bumping up your NB volts just a smidge ... like .1 or so ... and see if that gets your anywhere?
I thing NB volts is not a problem i run it @ 1,28v... As i say there is no position in the BIOS that i do not try to tweak but with no luck... I can run this board at 539 FSB but everytime i need to calculate to be sure i not go over 3600 - 3650 MHz :( I saw most of the people can run 4GHz or more witch i want too but im still unhappy...Quote:

Passed 1 hour of occt.
Beginners luck I guess :D
Try 1.4v for the northbridge - for fsb >400 <500 it is a proper setting.Quote:
