Thanks very much, I will try this out and come back with some results, very psyched about tbhis cpu, it's an E0 stepping and easily booted at 550fsb with 1.3125Quote:

Look at the temps at the end
Push that CPU Fatguy1992... C'mon 5Ghz at least... do you really need +1.5 for just 4.7Ghz under that cooling ?
I'm trying to start my pc atm, my ud3p is being a b****. Not sure if I need 1.5v, i just set it and it worked :D
Once I manage to get it to start up i'll do some more testing.
im fixing to get a modded Mach GT II for like $5XX range is that a good price ?
just did my income tax lolQuote:
had a desuperheater coil added which gives the condenser more capacity and I also had it refilled and tuned with R507 refrigerant. Its tuned for very heavy loads now with my E8600 @ 5300Mhz 1.75v it will idle around -50c and run about -44c under full load.
whats a good DDR2 Motherboard ive been looking at the Asus Maximus II Formula & P5Q Deluxe for sometime and im going to get a new mobo but the GIGABYTE also look good but idk what to get im looking to get high FSB on Q's also
I tried these settings as you recommended with little success unfortunately. Can't even boot with less then 1.45 or so at 550fsb, this really abffles my mind, since so many report doing this at around 1.32 or so. I jacked it up to nb 1.52v and still seems aunstable. Any other ideas ??? I'm running bios 1702 if that makes any difference.Quote:

Running these stress tests (that stress the CPU far more than anything else) repeatedly, especially IBT and sometimes prime small fft on hours/days on end, is not really healthy for these chips when they're pushed too hard. Your chip might be degrading from it. Seen it happen plenty enough. One guy degraded from 3.6 to 3.4 ghz (needed higher vcore--1.34 vs 1.32v) for 3.6 after a few weeks of repeated IBT's. And 1.32v isn't even that high.
Yes it's possible for chips to degrade even at lower voltages.
All chips respond differently, so what may happen to 1 person might not happen to someone else. Board timings/settings may play a part too.
There have been cases where it was the northbridge going south, or RAM, but memtest would pick that up (you'd probably need something a bit tougher on the NB to pick up problems there, like Orthos/prime Blend).
Ok here are my settings as seen in the bios. I can't even boot up without less then 1.42 NB and can't get into windows with less then 1.52, I got as close as the windows logo and scroll thing at the begining at 1.5 but then it crashed.

I went back to my old settings I used with an E6320 which I had hummin along @ 3.22 Ghz till recently, I used exactly the same MB settings and just changed the Cpu Voltage and NB V which btw is now at 1.26 at 458 fsb, so there's something else causing me to fail at 550?? I don't know if this helps, my MB Rev is 1.03G and bios currently used is 1702, I can't remeber if it's the modded one any more. I would really like to get the higher fsb, but these settings seem to be working ok right now. If anyone has any more suggestions on how I can get a higher fsb I would greatly appreciate it, my ram can't do much more then 1100 mhz though.

lol i just give him Vcore and i don't care if its too much :D
and 24/7 with ASUS P5Q Pro 1406 on 1.336V (for IBT :down:)
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/889...ableibtin9.png
and pass 5 hours OCCT on 1.328V.
i see that you are post some bios setting, i can give my too if somebody want.

Good job with old C0 :up:
tanks.
but the CO stepping is old? the EO stepping is old (?)
CO is the older stepping, overal EO clocks better with lower volts... I hope 1406 bios will give better results mate... I did 500FSB out of the box with an E7400 with the 1406 bios
oh ok i remember it wrong.
yes, i hope so too :)
tank you for all your help.
Wow, you guys are doing some amazing things with these 84/8500 CPUs. I have the C0 8500 and I can barely hit 4Ghz at default voltage on air using the 790Ultra chipset. No matter how many volts I throw at the CPU, I cannot get it stable past 4Ghz. I have the Corsair 1800Mhz DDR3 too so I do not know what my problems are.

Well, I got myself an E8400 E0 Q842A247 from my local Micro Center. A search on it turns up nothing. Not sure if this is a good OCing batch or not.
for the 4613mhz i don't have the settings, but for the 4054mhz stable 24/7 i do.Quote:

its for IBT 5 run 100% stable, at OCCT pass 5 hours with Vcore 1.328V at load.
Thx that's pretty good OC I think. My E8500 is very close to that @ 4.34 with 1.3125V bios and 1.304 in Windows. All other settings are almost identical as yours. What sort of Temps are you getting ?? I'm on water and apparently I hit 54 C, not likely but that what core temp says. Have you tried a higher fsb ??? I could really use some settings for that if you have those available. If anyone else has some useful information please suggest away.:up:Quote:
