finished building e8400 rig
E8400 E0 /Q827A345/ S-SPEC:SLB9J/ Pack date: 08/14/08
I put it in a Maximus Formula on AIR Xigmatek s1283 (i hate pushpins)
1.26V @ stock in bios and CPUz
I tried to set the FSB to 450 but failed to get the resulting Rated-FSB below 1700Mhz.
Dont know why, nbstrap can be set on 200,266,333,400 and the higher this is set the smaller the mem jumps will be when oc-ing, but it does not manipulate the rated FSB strangely enough, maybe i've bin on AMD to long :(.
Results so far: (finished last night 04:50)
after 4 Hours of Orthos "small fft" cpu stresstest cpu is 38 degrees celsius. (still running)
It is working at +-3.870Mhz, +-1780Mhz Rated FSB, stock voltage (auto)
(430*9, nbstrap 400, stable for 4+ hours)
voltage reads 1.268 in CPUZ I think this is good :D
Can anybody help me go higher without this ridiculus high Rated FSB?
p.s It is flying in Vista, everything is instant, only user exp.index gives 5.9 for everything but calculations, wich is 5.8 WTF. (no difference 3Ghz or 3.9Ghz)
