Yes temps are fine. I don't know why Orthos has decided to fail after 9 hours but to be honest I'd just keep your system as it is. Nothing you do from day-to-day will stress it like that, or at least it's very unlikely. :)

hello...I want to ask you, how much is overclocking potential on E8400 with batch number Q818A210, it is revision C0...thanks
It's impossible to base overclocking potential on batch number alone - every batch has good and bad chips; some batches have more good than bad chips and they are misleadingly called "good" batches. Most E8400s do 4GHz quite easily, however the C0 chips tend to get a lot hotter than the E0 chips. :up:
i wanted to go over 4.0 though, as you can see the memories can go at least 500 i havent tried more, what can i do to go up to 4.2 then?
4200/9 = 467, so that should be the speed of your FSB and memory for 4.2GHz. You will need more CPU volts but since you already have 500FSB stable you shouldn't need to change much else.

What do you think Lenny?
I ran IBT but after that i ran prime95 but computer just froze after 20min, then i tried to restart and when it got to windows it just restarted by it self... damn :( whats wrongs? what am i doing wrong here? do i need more volts anywhere? those are my latest settings but couldnt get it stable...
Here is mine
Batch# Q831A779
I will try to push it further, still learning about all of this so ill get there eventually.
I thought it wasn't too bad for a days effort :D
Its stable with Linpack/Prime95 etc etc. Can run for hours no problems
Great Job at them Volts at a High Oc:up:Quote:

I did attempt 4.5ghz, but keeps crashing on SuperPI 32M
So ill have to do some more reading i think and work that out.
Boots to windows no worries @ 4.5, just not stable but then i might need more volts still. Something for another day
Actually under load its 1.296vcore - seems it wasnt loaded enough when i took the screen dump :)

And i got this...

only ran 6min...
Godmyster, why the 8.5 multi? You'll need more vcore the lower the multi. I'm really lucky to have a chip that can prime at 1.35 vcore 4.41GHz, but that's 9.5 multi. Overclocking is no easy task, so don't expect 4.2GHz to fall into your lap if you're not experienced. :)
This is my results. I think it's perfect for C0 :clap:
This is what i tried on my last run...

i want to get to 4.2 at least!!! :confused: :confused:
Try those first, maybe little NB increase / more vFSB too. If those doesnt help more Vcore to go!Quote:

I know at first when..I got mine..I went straight to 4.5ghz to see if would do it and it did but was'nt stable and the volts was high...It's kinda fun to find out where you can be stable at with certain amount of volts you need to the Ghz speed right now I'm at 1.296vcore under load at 4.104ghz..and testingQuote:

also..
Ye i was wondering if it was a matter of giving it more volts to get it stable or not, something i didnt have time to do that day.
I just let my mobo recover from the crash and just backed it off again.
Must admit the recover of this mobo is great without having to hit reset buttons etc etc (been a few years, so tech obviously has come a long way)
I reckon i can maybe drop it 1-3 points (lots of options in my BIOS), maybe even 4... but testing that will take a while with each drop.
I will add more once i go faster, or drop... or both!
I'm fairly sure the memory i have is A-OK, i could probably even drop those timings a little as well, although what gains ill get remain to be seen
Looks like you got a pretty nice chip.Quote:

cranked this out yesterday

crap vid cpu though 1.25 but its low volts high oc so whatever.
batch q824a540
E8400 Q832A446 : stable at 4.3 with 1.22 under load, and boot Windows at 5 with 1.37...in progress
Sounds like a great chip! What is the VID? and how are the temps at 1.35v and above?Quote:
