E8600
Batch: Q820A604
First attempt, I will try to get more later. I hate my temps right now but that's what I get for living in the tropics.:)
Scooby:up:
I'm running my E8600 Q820A747 24/7 9,5x422@1,250V (sorry, no Prime screen).
I tried max clocks with aircooling on my TPower:
spi1M@1,73V: http://ceemic.pri.ee/45nm/5242mhz_1.73v.jpg (don't look the time)
3D@5,1GHz@1,73V: http://ceemic.pri.ee/45nm/x800gto_57050.jpg
max valid: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=416939
max spi1M FSB: http://ceemic.pri.ee/45nm/tp_637fsb.jpg
max valid FSB: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=417160
Seems OK :)
Next stop: LN2 :D
Small fft 10 hours then error, so I guess it counts :D
e8600 4.6 4.24 loaded VID 1.2
Memory isnt that impressive, I was just getting cpu stable, I'm gonna shoot for higher, but here we are...
Water, dtek fuzion v1, swiftech mcp120, bixII, bix
dfi lt p35 tr2

Will get back If I get higher stable....
Im running occt in the background now so you can see temps, volts ect...

Nice results there TheGanG, i must admit though i find the Vcore shown, a bit disturbing for the clock :confused:
Would love to see Aegis panel included, prolly messed up readout, otherwise amasing CPU :p but pretty hard to believe 4.9ghz at 1.12 and only 4Ghz at 1Volt...

I had the same issues with the MARS, but there even the multiplier/FSB was messed up (also in the Aegis panel) if I used one other than the stock one... the beta biosses ( and for me better clockers) were all plagued by it, most of the final release ones were reading the multi/FSB fine... Striker Extreme also has bogus readouts with loads of software...
Right! :) I will make a BIOS Update tomorrow, i wonder new results...Quote:

Cpu under water(20°C 5L of liquid), NB on air(12cm) that was a Blend test. GA-X38T-DQ6 as mobo, last Bios in date
and some fsb action with the 8600 on air..1.83Vmch on air cooling..

1.83V MCH/Air... isn't it dangerous? Would u please give us temps?Quote:

I realize I am coming in real late but I need some help. Just got this E8600 yesterday cranked it to 10X400 at stock volts and it came right up stable. Then my problems began. I am at 416X10 stable but no matter what I do with volts it won't even post at 420? I tried all the usual including dropping the multiplier and raising the fsb and it still won't post beyond 420 fsb? I have been overclocking for years and never seen a wall like this. Stable and reasonable temps up to 416X10 (max temp under water 52C) but a complete no go at 420? No voltage increase to NB or CPU can get past that. I am at 1.232V now. I gave it 1.45 just to try to post at 420X10 and it's a no go. Tried underclocking my ram and still nothing. My ram is good up to 1140.
This CPU will Orthos for hours at 416X10 but not even post with or without increased voltage at 420X10. Yes, I tried bumping the NB no go. NB temps are reasonable so this is not a temperature problem.
Any suggestions you experts have would be helpful. I might have missed something simple in a bios setting but I really don't get the absolute no post right at 420. Yea, I did try going beyond to see if I had some sort of hole there but that was also a no go? Help?
I would hate to come to the conclusion that this P5E can't cut it. Yes, I do have the latest bios. If you have ever taken apart a water build you know what I mean.
Asus P5E, 4gig PC8500, Thermaltake 850 power supply, ATI 4879X2
the NB can listens up to 1.87V.more than that and it goes crazy...:)Quote:

Sorry, since this is a topic on overclocking the new E8600 I thought I was in the right place. Anyway, I have discovered the problem but I have no idea how to resolve it. It only wants to go higher with a 5/4 memory divider. My PC8500 will only run stable up to 1140 so 420-425 is about max with that divider. I will post all my settings later today but I know it is a memory divider issue. Probably a simple fix if I knew how to find the workable dividers? I don't really want to push the memory any harder and I would like to run it at or around its rated 1066 speed.Quote:

I had no problems with the e8600 and 4/5 with this p5e, the gskill & bios 0903. With 420fsb and 4/5 the ram will be at 1050mhz, but if your ram is good up to 1140mhz you can go up to 456fsb with any multiplier to match max ram speed with 4/5 divider and 266strap. In any case you can also try with 1:1 or 5/6 with 333strap or 1:1 and 3/4 divider with 400strap. The problem of no post could be also the bios settings of dram static read control, ai clock twister or transaction booster, how do you have them configured?
Hi all!
I recently bought the EP45 Extreme along with the E8600 CPU. I have serious problems with my overclock.
I cannot get 500FSB x 10 mult. The highest I have gone is 4.7GHz (523*9) after that the computer almost does not start (I can see the system restart several times even before reahing the BIOS screen). Nothing over 523FSB works... I tried 523*10 but no luck...
I have tried increasing the FSB, lower it, change the multipel, Vcore, MCH core and some other voltage tweaks in BIOS.
My system: EP45 Extreme with water cooling.
F7 bios. 4GB PC8500 (1066MHz)
E8600 CPU. (water cooled)
Nvidia 8800GTS (512mb) - also tested with ATI 3850.
I appreciate any help and hints!
If you tried all possible combinations it might be a BIOS story, but I'm risking myself telling this to you as I don't know that Board. I know it takes 650+ on air as it seems. And E8600 are also easy on fsb.
667 on air with F2 & F3. But F4b seems very good too for max fsb.
I'm sorry these BIOSes are for EP45"T" mobo :(

I have tried high and low FSB, high and low multipel (8-10) with the same outcome...
So the F4b would be a first try!
it has no place here but stil it might motivate you to push it harder, it can't be THAT different i think: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=415921 BIOS F2 & F3 buton "T" version of EP45
I missquoted the ratio. I am at 560 (1120) at 3/4 ratio according to CPUz. As you know this bios gives the choices in ram speed rather than ratios. The fsb strap is set to Auto.Quote:

Thanks for the help. Its nice to have someone with the same board help. I really wanted to get this to 4.5gig which should not be too difficult with water cooling.
This settings seems fine, unless you should be able to use “strong” with that divider and fsb I´m not sure why yours e8600 can´t go higher. If it helps this are the settings I use for the 3/4 divider and the e8600 at 4260mhz:
10*426
400strap
ram 1136mhz
dram static read control: enabled
ai clock twister: strong
transaction booster: enabled
relax level: 0
nb: 1,33v
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2106/426cf5.jpg
The max fsb this cpu reach with this p5e is 467 at 4200mhz with those settings:
9*467
333strap
ram 1120mhz
dram static read control: disabled
ai clock twister: strong
transaction booster: disabled
relax level: 0
nb: 1,65v

Note that I have only two sticks, if you have 4 the limit could be aprox 450fsb.
