AMAZING! E8400 E0 at 1.31V for 4.4Ghz?!
My stupid E8500 C0 needs 1.37V for 4.2Ghz, and over 1.41V for 4.3Ghz
Damnit u guys are soooooo lucky to live in countries that cell E0s///!

I have an 8400 E0 that won't do more than 3950 no matter the volts or settings.
Be happy with what you got, very happy
I wont be happy cuz I deserve more!! I've been waiting for more than 2 months, going to store every week check when they have the new E0s, they never had it... I looked up stores to order from US, had problems paypal, etc etc.. and then at the end from ordering newegg NEW JERSEY warehouse where ppl got E0s, I get a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty C0, made in June.. thrown on the ground by UPS in front of my door.. all this :banana::banana::banana::banana: for C0, when I could of bought C0 300000 years ago ...
Anyway I guess 4.2Ghz on 1.38 is OK for a C0.........
Edit: After a few months imma just JUICE this shiiet to like 1.5V see what it can handle.. I dont give a crud
My E0 E8400 does 4.4Ghz at 1.31v, but needs 1.39v for 4545MHz...lil too much for me! Currently running 4.0GHz at 1.2v.
how about E5200 anybody know if batch # 3827A341 any good ???
couldnt resist Fry's had em for 109 bucks with a pos ecs mobo:D
What to do if my CPU is Small FFT stable for many many hours but fails Large FFT after 45 min? I've bumped up my vDDR, vNB, loosened timings, raised PL... quite frustrating :(
I did some searching and people say it's indicative of the memory being unstable, but I'm running my 4GB GSkill DDR2-1000 PQ slower than rated as well. Looking for general information and will post settings shortly.
mine from microcenter C0 stepping unfortunately bought at microcenter when they were considerably more expensive
will do 9x450 fsb 4.05 ghz at 1.256V on water
and 5.3 ghz at less than 1.6v on ss
5.5 at 1.6v maybe a touch more on ss

will be making DICE runs soon
heres the box pack date/batch

heres my 24/7.http://i34.tinypic.com/2iid1xe.jpg
Guys, help me out here please.
Is this ok for 24/7?

I guess the vcore is fine, but what about the 533 fsb and other volts? Is it too high for 24/7? I like high fsbs :DQuote:
4250MHz (533x8)
vCore = 1.35000v
CPU GTLs = Auto
CPU PLL = 1.54 (or 1.56, don't remember)
FSB = 1.30v
DRAM = 2.10v (1:1) @ 5-5-5-15
NB = 1.28v
NB GTL = Auto
SB = 1.20
PCIe SATA = 1.60
CPU/NB Skew = Normal
All the rest: Auto
I'm either using this config or like radaja is using (500x8) but with a 533 fsb I can use my mems 1:1.
Purchased a E8400 OEM a few months back. Will run 24/7 at 4100 mgz but not 100% stable..... 100% stable at 4050 mgz 1.32 V
Great chip for the price.
Running on older 680i EVGA board with old Corsair Hydrocool.
:up::up::up:
OK Guys I have a question about FSB vs multiplier..
So What is faster?
500mhz x 8 = 4Ghz OR
444Mhz x 9 = 4Ghz ?
Is it the same performance with less multipliers ? or does it loose its performance even at the same CPU frequency?
Help ! thanks
Punx223 is correct but motherboards, ram, and northbridges are funny - some will be stable at a 9x multi and not at an 8x, etc.
Take the highest stable overclock you can get - it will probably be with the higher multi.
If it is the same ghz, then of course take the lower multi/higher fsb.
REALLY? So it will be better for games (higher FPS)? and what about encoding etc?
Edit: also what is the limit for my memory anyway? Its OCZ Reaper HPC 2x1GB DDR2 8500 .. Right now its running at 2.1V, 1770Mhz, fully stable and passes memtest. How much can I go with this memory?
Edit2: ALso mobo is BIOStar Tpower I45, so that can handle high FSB
theres no way to say for sure what your ram will do.... only testing will tell...
not to mention you will wanna run memtest to make sure your not getting small failures....
even though your memory seems stable it may have small failures you wont see until deep into a good scene on your favorite mp game and she freezes, or BSOD on you
not to mention you dont wanna deal with the corruption if the memory is unstable:shocked:
like laguna said.... it all depends on teh board though.... you will have to figure out what your board likes...
also some boards like certain ram better than others
There is one setting you're forgetting about: tRD
You can have a nice high FSB with a low multi and get higher latency due to a high tRD (Performance Level) which can offset any gains from more bandwidth.
