Yea, these 45nm are frustrating. Just when you think you've gotten it... you don't!

hi, first post e8400 c0 batch Q807A297 on TRUE120

Well now that the degradation / burn in period is over I can finally get some reproducable stable results.

This is game stable and multiple 4 hour runs of Prime small FFTs. 4480 looks to be stable at the same settings, once I hit 500 though I'm gonna need more vcore it looks like.

How i change my FSB: DRAM...it's 1:1 now...i have a ASUS P5KC, i wanna rise the FSB more, my ram can reach only 500mhz...how i change the FSB: DRAM ? :confused:...did i have a option to change it on this damn ASUS P5KC ?

1:1 is the lowest you can go at least with P965 and P35. Maybe with an NV chipset.

primes 522x9 , 1.39v.

Nice scores!:clap: Have you tested with 1.36v core, at what frequency can work, or with 9 multi ? Anyway you got a good overclocker !:up:

i can prime for about 30 minutes at 4700, 1.39v vcore. but it is good for anything else. i played 4 or 5 hours of tf2 at 4700. but temps with this cpu are around 5-10c higher than my e8500 c0, at the same vcore. i also had that problem with my e8600. so while i would have no problems running 1.50v vcore to try for 5ghz, my idle temps would be over 50c, load temps over 80c. so not going to do it.

ya thats a keeper ! get it under something cold and see what she can do :D

Hi! Inew @ this forum.
than my e8500,first day OCing.
good chip, but my TR SI-128SE not enougt for that.

ya thier great so long as you can get 1 for 95 bucks ! :D

95.00 here-->>>> http://www.coolitsystems.com/index.p...mart&Itemid=28

works great and ya the way mine's hooked up thiers a little comdensation but some closed cell foam stuck to the cpu block & the 3 blue waterblocks on the unit and your safe
mine's ducted in to the house aircond. :up:

is a vid of 1.2500 high for an E0 8400?

So guys, i need to know quickly wich one is better stepping for E8400, the C0 or E0 ? I am buying E8400 but i dont know which one to buy.
Btw i asked a local store about the 8400 and they sayed that it will cost ~ 160 euros, that pretty big amount compared to a web store where you can get a 8400 like 140 euros.

2Btw first message at Xtremesystems! sorry for my bad english:(

edit: I mean wich one is better for overclocking? my mobo is asus p5k and ram are 2x2gb g.skill 800 mhz

wow these results are amazin for the low volts! now we just need someon to sho some DICE or LN2 results.

heres were im at with my e3110 on air with a blue orb II
