^^^ I am guessing right now that bottleneck is RAM?
^^^ Edit: So I booted up at 470x8, all voltages are the lowest(like i said in above post), except the ram, which I cranked up to 2.2V because it wouldnt boot up. This setup passes all the CPU tests on orthos, but fails the blend and ram test after couple of seconds.
Help
Thanks
OK, so I was able to get it stable at 490x8 with a minor bump in northbridge and fsb volts, memory running at 2.2V,This passes all orthos tests.
Now going on to 500x9, fails everything after couple of seconds. Help
look at your Nb voltage it reads out 1.12, that's freaking low... giver her more volts there... if it passes the cpu test yet fails on blend it's usually bad setup of the NB voltage and GTL's...
maybe your cpu will only run at 4.5 with 1.45Vcore, not all EO cpu's are golden eggs and with FSB voltage around 1.3
OK, so I got it to 500Mhzx8 Stable. I bumped up the FSB volts and the NB volts, which still didn't work, so then I did a small increase on the vcore from +0.025 to +0.050, so the FSB volts and NB volts could go lower.

These are the volts.
Whats next?
After I tried 510Mhz, but orthos fails on all tests after 2,3 mins.Got no time to tweak ATM, gotta go sleep.
Thx
Plz use Prime (latest versions) and do the small test first to determine Vcore, do not run blend or Large as they involve the ram, MCH combo...
Is the Vcore stable under load ? How mich does it droop/drop ?
This motivated me. It's 4AM, I can't sleep, there's a LAN coming up and a guy figured out how to make a million of us playable in L4D, so what else is there to do but blow up the pc, right? Here's my "I got into windows screenie" for now...

I'm gonna pick up one of those Thermaltake A2018's from fry's tomorrow and double the airflow on the TRUE for more palatable temps. I'm touching 70 on these 1200RPM SFLEX's. :D They're quiet, but damnit, my AC's running full tilt in an effort to keep hell out. I can't hear myself think and the pc has no business being quiet at a time like this!
E8400 Batch Q832A915 Is Good ?!
VID : ?
Thanks

This is My OLD E8400 C0 on Air.

Batch: Q820A732
Vcore: 1.2V Bios / 1.166V Digital Multiemeter
Yeah man, I had bad luck with the E8500 E0, since a lot of people do 4.5GHz on 1.35v mean, or even less. After many tests done, get it in the E8500 E0:
E8500 @ 3.800GHz = 1.192v
E8500 @ 4.000GHz = 1.240v
E8500 @ 4.250GHz = 1.328v
E8500 @ 4.410GHz = 1.376v
E8500 @ 4.503GHz = 1.416v
Sorry for my English, I hope you understand. :D
My E8400 can hit 4.4Ghz @ 1.328v loaded and stable. And I did go back to my quiet Scythe SFLEX E fan. That will keep things below 70C and that's good enough. I did manage to lower temps a touch by lapping the proc and heatsink w/ 400, then 1200 over the weekend.
When I picked it out, it had the lowest VID on the box of any of the other E8400's. I picked up more than a year ago @ a local Fry's. It's been the most fun chip I've had since my old P4 630.
Is VID now mentioned on the box ? Never knew that... would love to see a piccie of that
It was when I bought it. Not sure if was called VID, but something to the effect of 1.xx and it varied per box. I just grabbed the one w/ the lowest number and it turned out pretty well.

can you guys recommend me a setting for a 525x8.5 settings for
Intel EO E8400
Gigabyte UD3P rev 1.1
Team Xtreeme CL5 1066MHz 2x2GB
??????
here is my stable settings but i wish to have a 4500MHz stable system pls...

bump!
I found a nice patch: Q828A086
Set up a gameing rig for my friend. 4ghz@1,18v did 12h Orthos + 20 x 3DMark03 + 20 x 3DMark06 without any problems.
Did 3DMark also with 1,12v@4Ghz but Orthos failed - probably temperature (ambient +28c).
For my services, I'll have a opportunity to test that CPU later under SS :) Therefore I do not have the 12h screen.

My new EO, touch 4.4 GH at v1.300 for prime95 2 HOURS !!! :up:
Here is mine E8500. I know thats too little overclocked but its kind of stable i guess :D
http://www.aijaa.com/img/t/00067/4774051.t.jpg
Edit: And i ran it with air cooling, max temps 65 and 64.
Well here is my E8400 :D
at 4250 MHZ

FPO:Q842A861 vid 1.20
I think it's quite acceptable. What do u think guys? :p:
(I've posted this in the Gigabyte UD3P thread too :P ... I'm quite pleased about this combo UD3P + E8400 :D)
Anyone know how q836a001 does?
Got one cheap off ebay (I was bored... and didn't want to wait for a e6500k from China)
Well...
Good piece of Si ;)

My old E8400 OEM I got last year for $120, 1.49V @4.2Ghz :D Temps at full load never reach above 70 so I guess I'm good, try to shoot for 4.4Ghz or 4.5Ghz. :D

I think the E0 E8400 in my main rig has degraded, I can't seem to get 4GHz (500x8) stable anymore. It was originally in my DFI UT X48, ran that for quite some time. I reset to stock to do a Vista > Win 7 upgrade and left it running that way for a while, but when I tried to go back to 4GHz it wasn't having it. I swapped boards and put in my UD3P thinking maybe the DFI was to blame but no go even with vcore set as high as 1.35v! It used to be fine running about 1.25V on load at the same speed :( I've tried VTT from 1.20 to 1.30. Very strange.
