Good overclocking Guide for E8400 is HERE
Thanks Zeus, I will keep my fingers crossed that you get an exceptional E8500 after your luck with the E8400. Same goes to MrCape and others who were unlucky first time.Quote:

Eventually I got the chip above 4.6 but the stock heatsink (stock off the 65nm X6800 that is ;) ) I am using as a temporary one could not really handle it.
Anyhow managed 4500Mhz for 3dmark rock solid at 1.5v.

I will see how it goes with the tuniq on it, I will be happy with this though especially as it will be going on a 780i eventually for SLI and I expect 475 to about the upper limit anyway, if not less.

Why do these guys always come late except for when you're a little late yourself?
The last time i waited all day long for my EK waterblock when it was delivered at 19:00 on a saturday!
Now i was home at half past 12 and missed him...oh well.
Have to wait another day, let's hope it's worth the wait but from observations i have a feeling that all E8500's do 4GHz stable at below 1.3Vcore.
Another observation is that Q748 and Q750 E8400's are the worst clockers but if the topicstarter could make a nice spreadsheet we can see that in a glimpse.
Anyone already noticed degration of his Wolfdale yet?
What about the Q746's?Quote:

Q746 is quite a mixed bag with some average but also plenty of very good ones.Quote:

Q746A477 Stepping...
VID : 1.0375v
4.2 Ghz @ 1.34 Prime Load...

4.2 Ghz @ 1.34 Prime Load... 15 mins screenshot, completed 1 hour, and I accidently shut it off. Bleh. More than stable enough for me.

Im trying for 4.3-4.5Ghz for 24/7.
My current stable 24/7 is already 4.2Ghz @ 1.34
Watercooled (Specs in Sig), Quad Nozzle still in the Dtek, will change it to the 5mm Nozzle tonight. (Its 7.30pm here :P)
Bad temp's are most due to a bad mount, and surely due to the Quad Nozzle on the Dtek.
Ambients : 22-23C
are you sure that this is the right vid?
boot up with default settings without EIST / C1E and check it again. CoreTemp read
often wrong VIDs :)
But nice clock and good voltage :up:
i wait for a better bios to clock higher, my DFI cant do more than 510FSB stable
with wolfdale :( (with conroe 540FSB with def. NB voltage)

^^ K, Ill check it out :).
Just got my E8400 today. Q744A761 and on the box VID is 1.225V and Coretemp reads 1.1125
Yes, I got home yesterday to find mine was busily downloading nude pictures of women rather than doing Prime.....Quote:

You really need to show it who's the boss or else your harddisk will be filled with pics of naked men before you know it! :D
And you should be chasing that mailman, looking forward to your results hope you get a good one :up:
bit off topic loco but whats the bottom slider for on setfsb thanksQuote:

Got Q745A554, Doin 4ghz at 1.25, and 4.2 seems ok with 1.42.
VID 1.0500, E8500.
The board cant handle the FSB it seems, 500 is max boot into windows, 550 can post without problem... BOARD ISSUE!
