I wonder the same about P35 vs 38. I have tried everything with this chip and it needs a lot of vcore to be stable at high speeds. Like I said, >1.43v to get 4.2ghz prime stable.
So is it the chip or the chipset? Hmm, I have been tempted to pop this in the P5E but I want to return for refund so I dunno.
Aren't there some sponsored benchers out there who can confirm or deny the performance diff between P35 and X38 by using the same chip in two boards with settings as close as possible?
very nice what temps does it max out at high 50sQuote:

that is a lot of volt to get to 4050Mhz, with that volt I got 4200MHz on the same board as yours.Quote:

yes Grnfinger its an excellent overclock that these new e series really rock and amazing value for the performance
no T on my Chip. I am from Australia.Quote:

Cooling: water

very quick sepander nearly 5ghz on water:shock: , nice one mate again what will it do 3dmarks at, and what norhbridge volts did you use, i notice its a very low default vid as well good chip there
Thanks.
Here's some 3dmark results:
3dmark2001SE
3dmark05
3dmark06
NB voltage was 1.65V.
thanks sepander yes it seems you've got a golden chip there excellent 3d scores especially for single card and high cpu clock for the 3dmarks most seem to top out at 4650 with higher volts needed, i think the ones with the lower vid value like yours should in general go a bit further than the general ones which i think are 1.125 volt vid, i hope i am as lucky as you with the cpu i get monday
I just posted this on another thread so I'll just link to it.

E8400 @ 500 X 8 = 4GHz 1.4v in bios 1.425v in CPU-Z
Q744A761 / wafer 544 I think from memory!!
VID changes with different BIOS's
Water cooled.
How can you tell what is your Vid!
My box has a 1.225V max number next to the version is that the VID or do I look at the COREtemp program which indicates a 1.100V for the VID

Does anybody have an idea of where the cold bug starts on these CPU's?
coretemp will display the VIDQuote:

I am 4.3G Vcore 1.36 prime stable with 50ish & core1 56 core2 51 temps on load.
Prime stable how long? That's not bad compared to most.Quote:

I wonder if anybody has a Q739 or earlier, or is Q740 the first run? I normally shop at NCIX, but I got mine last Sat. for $20 cheaper. A-Power exchanged my first E8400 with wonky temp readings for a new one from the exact same batch. Fortunately this one reads 38/36C at idle (4.05 GHz) and about 50C in Prime95.
Bios:
vCore: 1.35v
vDimm: 2.0v
FSB Term: 1.2v
CPU PLL: 1.4v
NorthB: 1.25v
All other voltages on Auto at 450FSB. I had it up to 4.45GHz with no problems, but requires too much voltage and heat for everyday use. Here is my 24/7 setup which is stable and cool. I wonder why my latencies are so slow compared to some others? I've tried upping freq. to over 1300MHz, but still 52ns is best it can do?
