Ok i am at 4.2ghz and right this min i am so far 9 hrs and (still going) Orthos Stable.
Batch Number is Q822A441 and its one i have only seen one other on the net when googling it.
True VID is 1.25
Bios specs:
Full Load Priming Vcore is (flucuates) 1.328 to 1.336.
Temps MAX full load Realtemp has ever hit is 56C and thats only once in awhile when priming it, but average temp is around 50C-52C throughout the 9 hours priming thusfar.
Sorry Beast, I'm not too familiar with that board.
I've had two of these chips in the past week.
Chip 1: Q820A596 bad clocker, stuck sensors. I returned it. Could get stable at 1.36v at 4.3GHz
Chip 2: Q820A597 so far so good. 4.4GHz at 1.34v and working on stability. I think I can get it up to 4.5 with some more tweaking at around 1.41v (tried this but the temps were nuts...I need to reseat.)
Yeah i know rampage and even nvidia mobo's are different when it comes ot NB and VTT volts, plus PLL.
Now is my CPU a GOOD OC'er... i put volts at what it is set at now only cause i figured that should be doable and maybe a little maybe OK, but i am like the kind of person if it is stable for at least 12 hours prime leave it alone and if i want to try for higher i use the Volts i have now and try it.
I never tried over 4.3ghz as at 4.3ghz i was not stable at 1.34v's (fail within 16-18min More tweaking is needed i think) so i think it may need at least 1.36-1.38v.
Now as for temps this thing is doing great thusfar averaging like i stated 50-52C priming Orthos Blend which is now at 9 hrs 36min and still going.
I am sure anyone can HIT 4.5-4.8ghz FOR super PI benches..... :)
I want 24/7 stability.
EDIT:
I would not go more then 1.36-1.38v MAX on AIR., 4.2-4.3 is good enough and many should be happy with that 24/7 stable.
I sent mine back. Waiting for a replacement.
Umm why you send back for?Quote:

My E8500 need 1.456v to reach 4.34Ghz. I am happy with this E8600 :D

MAX in Orthos for me is 57C using realtemp and thats the MAX showing, but its average is 52-55C and when i surf net or open other things up it may spike to 57C MAX for like 2 secs and Orthos at times when it uses big integers will hot 57C for maybe 5 secs.
I am now at 12 hrs 43mins and going in Orthos BLEND test.

How long did you run that E8500 at that voltage as i am scared that 1.40v is a killer for any of these E series of CPU's and/or degradation.
Also what motherboard are you using and what are the rest of your Voltages .. example: NB and PPL and VTT (FSBv)
I only has E8500 for 2 weeks, but before that I has my E8400 I did run it at 1.38v for 4.2Ghz since the E8x00 series released. That CPU still run fine gave it to my brother so he can join the 4Ghz club. His E8200 can't even make 4Ghz with 1.4v.
My mainboard is P5k-E, most the setting is on auto. The
NB =1.55v (I has 4 sticks of ram)
FSB termination = 1.4v

What ya think?
Also temps then would exceed 60C for sure running Orthos Blend Test, right now average = 52-55C and spikes to 57C at times for a few secs or so.
Interesting... this chip can pass IntelBurnTest (5 times) at 4.4GHz 1.344v but fails Orthos small FFT after just a few minutes.
Any suggestions there, or do I just bump vcore a bit?
The concensus = more volts as many chips i have been seeing all over the net must take at least 1.36-1.42v for 4.4ghz.Quote:

I run Orthos Blend and i am right now at 13hrs 39 min Stable and still going on my 4.2ghz OC.
Really? Linpack is inconsistent? So it's only good for quick tests?
That's funny, because my E8400 was Orthos stable and not Linpack stable, while this chip is the opposite.
Where one test shows stable and another does not .... does not mean your system is not stable .. again i state this like i have about 8 times tonight in other threads.... :)Quote:

Again i state 12hrs in Orthos Blend i have never had any issues with my PC, 12 more more is good.
Even if it failed right now on me ... i ain't going to cry or worry and bump volts as i know right now it is stable for all i do which includes Folding all day long.
As far as the consensus.. shouldn't SmallFFT be used? Your probably still gonna be good with Small FFT but your temps are gonna be a bit higher. My E8600 @ 1.39v 4416mhz Small FFT max temp 65c after 8+ hours. I ran my E8500 at 1.42v for 4200mhz for 6months with no issues after the initial degradation of .05v. E8500 Maxes at 72c+ during Small FFT. I think these chips are a little more durable than some people think. Using TRUE with Arctic Ceramic. I Idle at 30c current set up.Quote:

Many will run both smallFFT for CPU and LargeFTT for ram at 8hrs each.
Or
Like myself i run Blend Test for at least 12hrs and i am 14hrs 42mins right now on Orthos Blend Test which stresses CPU and Memory at sametime... now if it failed now like i stated before i ain't going to cry and up volts ... i would run it as i know it would be stable for all i do.
I usually only do 12hrs on my OC's and this one i just wanted to do more how much more .. well until i decide to go to bed... :)
Agreed :pQuote:

Also the Minimum temp in Realtemp is not right i accidently closed it and opened it during testing as the minimum should be 30C as that is the IDLE temp.
Now can i be classed as being in the 4.0ghz and Above Club? .... :)

I been using 1.4FSB termination on my E8400 since the CPU released, don't see any degradation. It was able to do 4Ghz at 1.288v and 4.2 at 1.368v and the CPU still able to do that now.
These E8600 seem to run hot. my hit 60-61 degrees and my is under a fusion block.

When i ran my Q6600 and performed the samething it was off by about 5c at base temp from realtemps reading ... so something is not right.
Even when i touched the heatsink it did not feel like 50ish degrees, it felt COOL like a 40ish temp would be.
I have realtemp at 100 TJMAX setting..... werid i tell as it is like the sensors are reporting higher then i think they should be .... if anything i would say it should be around 48C instead of 56C... i must try again with probe maybe tomorrow and see, but my lazor probe is very very accurate.
i will be happy if it under 70 degrees under orthos. under normal use there is no way that it can reach 70 degree anyway.
My point is that my Lazor temp probe is reading it about 13c less then Realtemps sensor reading....where as on the Q6600 it was only 5c difference from base of heatsink to what realtemp was stating.
So either sensors are screwy or realtemp needs to be adjusted from 100 TJ MAX to like 90C for these chips or at least mine.... :)
Like i stated i will test more tomorrow.
