what is the VID for your E8400?
i am trying to find if there is a relation between real low VID's and whether that correlates to a so, so overclocker like my 9650, which has a 0.9625v VID...my 9650 will do stock speed and wPrime 1024M stability bench at 1.03 vcore...see if you chip will do 3ghz at 1.03 vcore...i had EIST and C1E disabled for this test.
you should have EIST and C1E enabled in order for the power saving feature of the processor to work...BUT...that will defeat any meaningful overclock which you are trying to attain...EIST and C1E can support a low to medium overclock but not a high overclock.Quote:
How come Power saving feature don't work in this motherboard? When Idle Multiplier doesn't drop to 6 and neither does voltage. I've just built 2 other systems and it works on both of those. I'd like to save energy as my comp is probably 50% Idling/browsing.
did you mean to say a Wolfdale?Quote:
How hot can i push Penryn for no damage to happen?
any vcore above default is going to shorten the life of the processor...you just have to determine how long you want to keep the processor before upgrading with regards to how much vcore you are comfortable with.
that said, i would think anything above 1.5(ish) range can or will seriously shorten the life of the CPU....i would stay at 1.55v as the max vcore for long term use...i've tried higher but only for short periods just to see if the overclock could be sustained and how much heat was produced....that was on my 1st 9650...the 2nd 9650 has severe limitations when going above 4ghz...heat produced and current draw are into the stratosphere.;)
if the chip was an excellent overclocker, it wouldn't need very high vcore.Quote:
Any More tips to get this CPU to 4.5 without crazy Volts to cpu?
EDIT:...how do you make your seagates 7200.11 drives overclock to 10K RPM drives?Quote:

Got my E8400 yesterday up and running with the Beta 16.04 bios. Bios 14 does work but only issue with it is that tempatures are really screwed with it. Beta 16.04 is ok with tempature readings but its still messed up.
4.05Ghz w/ 1.37V Bios (1.21V CPU-z which I've found in the past with my E6400 is almost dead on for proper voltage reading amazingly). I get roughly 50-52C Load temps.
My CPU last night was testing at 1.35V Bios (1.19V CPU-z) and failed after 1 hour but not sure if it was CPU voltage or if it was the northbridge voltage that was causing the issue so I raised both and ran fine. Results below.

Thank GOD I have a fellow mate with IP35 PRO + BIOS 14 and screwed up temps. I'm getting dumb temps with mine too so I'll update to Beta 04 in a bit.
Hei all, what's the difference between these versions of the mobo(1; 1.0; 1.1)?! Some say 'I have IP35pro Snake' - what does it mean? Shuold i ask for that info, when i purchase it next month?!
No it won't. I've tried them all and my memory which is rated at 1200 with 2.2v (transcend axeram) stops at 560 with all the dividers and voltagesQuote:

His sign says:

if that matters.
In the other forum they comment more on that ram, but it's a pity, isn't it?! They also say:
"Some test had been made, on modules based on Micron chips, and there is no evidence that there are bad batches, based on these chips" or something like this. The Ballistix are Micron D9 based!
They had the info from another thread here in the XtremeSys forum.
However, let's not write about these Ballistix any more - after all, the thread is about the Abit ip35Pro mobo!
i was stopped short of my ddr2 specs by about the same...some boards are better to tweaking memory...DFI has a gazillion tweaks in the memory section which can possibly get you close to maximum or over it....this board does have its limitations but for the PRICE, you really can't go wrong.Quote:

Again memory is not a bottleneck, yesterday i booted up 500x6 and memory was fine, so is the front side bus i guess
I really can't do the heatpipe mode since its so difficult to work in this case and i would take me half/day to take out/put back in all the stuff in the case
How can i find out VID? I see people have vid in the coretemp but i got vista x64 and its not working so any other way?
I have EIST and C1E Enabled Right now, running it everything stock but with manual settings, 334x9 With core voltage 1.15 it ran orthos all night so its stable, but once again EIST and C1E are not working. Its not dropping the multiplier
How can i make Vcore lower then lowest? cause the lowest i can get is 1.15 in CPUZ
I did mean to say Wolfdale
And thats just a joke about 10k hard drives hehe

i see your VID is below 1.0v...i was wondering what is your max overclock at 1.45 actual vcore and how much heat (core & PWM) does it produce when you run wPrime 1024M stability bench.
not sure how to get VID reading in vista64.Quote:

anyone know of a temperature monitoring program works with this board that you can have it display temps in tray like systool does?
Speed Fan, Its about 4-5c higher then GuruQuote:

I haven't taken it past 1.37V Bios (1.21V CPU-z) yet, and plan on actually trying to drop it now that I figured that my northbridge wasn't recieving enough voltage for me to run higher clocks. I'm not sure I want to crank my voltage up much past 1.4V currently til I get an actual real bios for my board just to make sure Im reading my proper temps.
I can't read my PWM temps at all since I don't know of a program that can read that in Vista 64-bit. Might work if I go into disabled signed driver mode but I do not launch Vista that way.
Everything Auto, Voltages and Clock, EIST and C1E still not throttling down. Like i said i'd like this feature because at least 50-75% of the time computer is in idle.Quote:

Everything Stock in Load its 1.13vcore and totally Stable. I wish i Could go lower but Bios won't let me, my older P956 DS3 let me chose any voltage and im almost certain chip would be able to go lower. Are there any hidden options in this motherboard that you can enable with like CTRL + F1?
Yeah I got no speedstep at all with mine either.Quote:

I know one of my older boards could go nice and low. Wish I had the option still to do it, think it was my Asus P5B-Deluxe that could go down to 1.1V at least selectable in Bios.
My Old DS3 could go down all the way to like .8 in bios. Is this accross all the cpus (unable to select low vcore) or just Wolfdales?Quote:

I had Core temp running at first but I was getting weird temperature readings. On core temp its reading 2 cores as 36 celcius and two at 42 celcius. So I tried everest and I got the same reading. So I then ran Speedfan and its reading all cores at 21 celcius.
Ive tried Bios 16 B04 , 16 B03 and im now on biow 14 again. So is there something wrong with the temperature readings or is my CPU running hot. Also I am using wattercooling on my CPU and I am only at 3ghz oc with the cpu at 1.4v dude if you look back one page you would see that i did answer you,anyway uguru temps are off about 10to12c i use CPUID HwMonitor , my temps 31,31,33,33.
steve30x, sorry about the post mess up.
