That is some nice low volts. Did you get one or two pairs?Quote:

Got a 2x2gb kit. Seems they are out of stock on all of it ATM. Wanted to get the 1200's but hard to find.Quote:

Are you at 200B or 200D? If you have it set to B try 200D pl9. You may also want to try setting the drive strength profile to OC 1066 if 200d doesn't work.
I'm at 200B, and I think I got at 1.424v, I just needed to add another notch to bump it from 1.408, I didn't realize I needed 3 notches (from 2). However I just got an error after 10 minutes. Temps are 57C small FFT after 10 minutes in 17C ambient (Air conditioner). By the way, are these temps safe? I'm going to a lan party in a few weeks where it might be a lot hotter, and I don't know if low 60s are safe or not. Also I will try 200D and see what it does. Thanks
Guys for those using the LV Blades PC29600, do you think that 8GB will run at 1200 on my Q9650 wich im on 4500Mhz for 24/7 ?
now in running the gskills 9600 at 4500 / 1200
Cheers :up:
Sergio
Right. Missed that set on the OCZ page. PL 9, PL 8, not much difference there I think. Glad you are on the move.Quote:

I have to say I am kind of disappointed that I can't get under 1.4, especially since it's an E0. At least my temps are good. Maybe I will try some clock skews later as a last resort.
Very hard to OC with 4 slots populated but it's worth a try.Quote:

Q9650 - 6 Gold Cups in one Day (conquering the HWBot HOF)
yep maybe it worth it :DQuote:

Dark Energy,57c is fine in Prime. Actually that's pretty good for 1.424v. My e8400 needs close to 1.5v for 4.5ghz.
Very nice Jor3lBr :up:, miss seeing your posts in this thread.
Nice work! But you might want to work on that 32m wprime. :up:Quote:

Hey Hoss great scores! But they only accept wPrime version 1.55 thus results are slower on the older version :up:Quote:

So as long as it stays in the low to mid 60's C in stress testing, then volts don't matter or won't hurt it? I have an E8500 E0 VID 1.250 that seems to want above 1.45 (BIOS) to get 8.5 or 9 x 500fsb stable. I haven't tried any higher to get it to work cause I'm afraid of the volts killing my CPU.Quote:

bluestang, keep heat under control and your processor will be alive :)
Thanks Loco, I'm waiting on some OCZ Freeze to come in. I will then replace my AC Ceramique with that and also replace the stock fan on my Zerotherm Zen FZ120 with a Scythe S-Flex SFF21G to see what happens with temps.Quote:

Question. Is 1.440v safe on me E8400 E0 for 24/7? The VID on this chip is pretty bad (1.25v), and small FFT temps went to 62C with ambient 19c (64c for both cores in realtemp). I got it for xmas back in december and the packing date is september 2008. I guess I got one of the first batches of the E0, cause from what I have seen on this forum everyone who is running 9 x 500 with less than 1.4 has a newer chip (packed after december). Guess my chip isn't the best?
Stick a TrUE on there Dark-Energy, I replaced my AC7 Pro with one and was amazed at the drop in temps...
I don't know about the volts long term. I think 1.3625v is still the max according to Intel. I have heard some say 1.45v on the EO's. IDK but I wanted a 4.4-4.5ghz chip so if it has a short life I'm ok with it. As long as my temps are good its staying where it is.Quote:

You should try a lower CPU Ref, not higher.
Bump your MCH Core to 1.4.
Set MCH/DRAM Ref, DRAM Termination, Channel A & B Ref to 50% of DRAM Voltage.
Have you tried stability testing with the CPU Multi at 8? If you have not, you are going about this all wrong. You need to test components, not just throw everything up and blast volts to your CPU.
My chip is a vid 1.25v, maybe something on here can help.

1.3625v - maximum VID for the E8190-E8600 processors. Maximum core and FSB Termination voltage is 1.45V. This is from Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8000¹ and E7000¹ Series Datasheet.Quote:

Keep temps below 80 or even below 75C.
