Just like Infa says, the tempsensors are stuck its a known problem on these 45nm chips, I got the exact same stepping as you and have the same problem. Movement of Core 1 is 0 and Core 2 is 3. My block is fitted right and makes even contact. I had these problems before with another E8400.
I mean even at 10x333 with 1.1v i get 41 degrees idle. And then when I Prime is stays at 41 degrees. So bad temp sensors, but great stepping.
Wouldn't wanna RMA it in a liftime :P

I noticed that even when I set 1.25vcore and 1.35vTT i still couldn't do a SuperPi run 7x600. I tried lower and higher voltage, different mem dividers all kinds of GTL, nothing seemed to help. Then I changed FSB Ref which was set to 2A nd changed it to 29. Lo and behold, I can run SuperPi stable and also with lower voltages. :D
So you good give that a try.

What are you showing for a vid on that batch?

My vid is 1.26. This ones going on its own water loop first and if things look good perhaps some LN.

Wow that's a trip, the range within the batch. Same was true with 820a599.

Anyone receive an 822 in the US?

so the good batches are in the 820s-822s?

As always it's hard to say, hit or miss even within a certain batch.

I haven't been tuned in on buying one since summer, but last I checked most in US were getting 820 and in EU 822. Can't remember hearing of any other e86 batch.

Here is my humble contribution to this thread:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...hrsPrime45.jpg

Vcore can probably be a tad lower, set it to 1.296 to be safe, i don't want to go through another boring few hours of prime :D

Setup:

E8600 Q822A435, vid 1.1750 - Rampage Extreme- watercooling.

3+ hours of Prime small FFT's cause small puts the most strain on the CPU.

Yeah, it's a nice CPU, it can run 4GHz undervolted to a whopping 1.12V :D and 4.3GHz with just 1.204V -- Orthos small ffts stable that is. 20ºC+ ambient.

Yeah awesome voltage for those speeds. Can you share your other settings with us?
I'm curious whether settings like CPU PLL and vTT contribute to this.

Damn dude, those are really low values compared to what I use. I think that REX is a really nice board and it's awesome that it employs so many sensors.

These are my bios settings for 4.4Ghz (464 x 9.5) Prime stable settings:
- vCore 1.4125v (gives 1.344v under load in CPU-z)
- CPU PLL 1.58v
- VTT 1.26v
- vNB 1.55v

Zeus -- great results there bud! Very nice chip.

CandyMan -- you're doing fine. Considering my E8600 needs 1.4v for 4.33GHz I'd say your little E8400 is better than my chip. Make sure you have the latest Core Temp to see accurate temps.

Just had to try at even lower voltage, merely for bragging rights. :D

1.288V stable as a rock, i won't discourage you guys by saying even lower could be possible but i have a gut feeling....

Very nice. Mine will probably do around 4.10GHz max with 1.288v.

Still testing if it can withstand 4 hours of Orthos, rightnow it's priming for 2.5 hours so no complaints :D (finally got it stable after flashing older bios for my P45 T2RS Plus and tweaking GTL on second core)

Perhaps you should use Intel Burn program, you know the one which uses Linpack. I find it ideal for innitial testing. If it's stable for 15 runs (which take up around 15 minutes) you have a good indication that the system is fairly stable. Mind you, I gives your CPU hell :D
Got my E8600 running temps of 90 degrees Celcius, that's with watercooling. Prime and Orthos will max out at 70 degrees.

the thing is, for me atleast, when using linx (linpack) i works 10-15 rounds, and THAT pushes the cpu more than prime, but prime fails Small FFT in 30 mins or less... dont get it? WHY? goin crazy why prime just wont be as easy though it loads less on the cpu.

hmmm you got me... :confused: I do know that you have to give Linpack as much as ram as you can give it to be thorough enough. I usually kill as much processes I can, so that with my 2GB rig I give 1.65GB to Linpack. Untill now this process worked best for me.

10-15-2008, 06:40 AM

No i know linpack doesnt do that, but Small FFT's dont stress ram at all either, thats the thing... or have i got it wrong, small calculations stresses cpu, and large memory used onés stresses RAM... thats why i wonder why prime SMALL fails and not heavy duty linpack.

Gaming dayz long, 3D Marks & IBT stable and they call me "unstable guy" cuz of prime95 fails after unnecessary 2-3 damn hot hours... I know people run prime95 10-15 hours long :confused: it's a useful test but not a goal...

No, I won't use it. I used to use it but after coming to my senses I realized there is no chance I'll ever tax the system as much as IBT stresses it, never in a million years. I find it excessively stressful. No game, application or anything else is ever going to stress it like that, so why bother? It's putting the CPU in a completely unrealistic situation.

I want a stable processor, sure, however, I don't want to cook it and eat it for dinner.

Whatkind of temps did your 1.4V give whit intelburner?

If i remeber right your chip was 1.250 VID, So it should go around 70c (atleast my situation)
10-15-2008, 08:30 AM

Yeah my 8600 at 1.40 gives 67c with LinX. and its a vid 1.25

Yes, it goes to around 70. VID is indeed 1.2500v.

Yup, higher vid's runs cooler its clear! :cool:

Remeber that i have Quad, 2-core more to make heat :D

10-15-2008, 08:54 AM

yeah higher VID gives less margin when you raise vcore, therefore lower VID's works at a higher temp, cant be any other reason?

Whehe yes yes. It's known that low VID stepping run hotter than ones with higher VID. It's also known that the Intel Burn program will ad +20 degrees on you normal load temperature. Normaly during Priming and Orthos my max temp is 68 degrees.

I allready looked into it, but there are simular reports of high temps with this stepping ( Q822A435 ) I haven't changed anything on my setup. Waterblock is lapped , uses Arctic Silver 5 and makes perfect contact. My last E8500 ran a lot cooler compared to this E8600. It's just a hit chip, but it clocks like hell (4500Mhz @ 1.32v) so I'm not complaining. :D
But it also could be the temp sensor of the chip itself is off. I've got SSS (Stuck Sensor Syndrome) according to Real Temp.
Idle will not go lower than 41 degrees even with ambient 18 degrees and 3Ghz @ 1.16v

yeah i know that ;) but still? the vcore can be really missleading if not loaded, it can be a huge vdrop, or it can raise at load?, and we know simple math right? you know, it says when the workers started and where it's at? just add the hours? why be in a race when you do not follow the rules? im not pissed or anything... but ...just do it?

Dont paint me as the "bad" man here dude :) , Im just sayin.

prime it 1min for all i care and add or something? just want to see it, the "rules" says it clearly in the first post, and he has mentioned it some times in this thread to......

heck, im trying as hell to get my stable at the lowest vcore i can get, therefore im been priming like WEEKS to get it right, and it still doesnt go more than 3 hours, well 2 times, but then i was sleeping so i couldnt take the god damn print :) so I KNOW it aint funny do prime, i think the cpu is degrading for every day that goes, couse i have a print with over 4hours prime at 1.40, now it crashes at 1.416 after 2hours.. so somethings up.. probably the usual burn in degrading that comes with 45nm... but anyway?

i will need 1.42 for 4,5 and i personally think that sucks :) i will get me rampage extreme, hopefully its just this board thats a pain in the azz and not the cpu, couse this is tearing me apart with weeks of trial and error, thats TO much for me...

and hey sorry if you got offended or something, didnt mean it like that, just wanted to see it :)

cheers!

Ok folks! now its finally done, and i ended up with a vcore of 1.42. not TO bad and not TO good, im satisfied, its low enough!
Small FFT's was the game, and it cleared! puuh, suddenly i got the right combo for pll and fsb and GTL. Here's Q820A627

Early tests with this CPU needed 1.36 (under load) to be linpack stable at 4.5 (500 x 9) but coretemps go over 65°C with the TRUE... 4.2 seems to be the sweetspot temp/voltage wise... The CPU has got one stuck core sensor at idle (40°C) but once loaded it goes along with the other core... c'mon Intel solve this once and for all

With my experience, after about 1.35 vCore the temps of the 8600 go insanely high. These are the max temps I feel comfortable with, as I'm more concerned with vCore then the actual temps. I can get 4.5 stable at 1.37 vCore with temps that hover around the 60. While, here you can see the temps top off around 70 at 1.42 vCore. So, once you pass 1.33 vCore, prepare to have a furnace.

http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/3071/47ow0.jpg

My goal is to get 500 * 9.5 = 4.75 If I can do this, I'll be happy. I was shooting for 5.0, but this chip get too hot.

insanly low VID you got there :) , and thats why you are getting this high temperature too, there's a big jump in vcore on such low VID , you've raised it 0.36v thats quuite much, for me as VID 1.25 to 1.42 theres only a raise of 0.17 , and im getting 54c in water.

Demon, some settings.

Tried ALOT with VTT and GTL, and this is THE setting that works, just 0.68 seems like the sweetspot, and higher VTT doesnt work well either.

Gonna try this NB skews and CPU skews, couse blend wont work so good i think, didnt try after i got cpu all stable, maybe it works :)
but the RAM stability is SO hard on this board, soooo picky :) , neediung 2.02 for 900mhz CL7 , PL 6 , Strong skew, as tight as possible can be :) thinking of using another multiple to get little higher FSB, but come on? hehe thats getting me like 300-400mb read, from allready 12mb read, the computer really flies allready, and i dont get whhy having it so fast :) but goin from 4,2 to 4,5 actually did "little" diffrence :) or its just my mind that WANT it to be faster hehe.

Thanx for those setting. I decided to see I could do 4500MHz with less voltage. Is was running 9x500 but for that I need a vTT of 1.31 a vNB of 1.36v and a vCC of 1.34v.
For 24/7 use I find it just a tad high. Also it has been hell to figure out which GTL ref was the best, that kept me busy for 2 full days...

So I switched to 9.5x474 for 4500Mhz Now i need vTT of 1.22, a vNB of 1.32 and a vCC of 1.32v. This time my inital setting of GTL's to 67/67/61 was right on the spot. Still have to do a long run of Prime, but it looks promising. So I'm sticking with these settings.

My bandwidth with 9.5x474 in Everest is just slightly lower than with 9x500. The latencies however are lower, so that's nice :D

I'm giving up on running 7x600.
To maintain 6 hour Prime stability , I need to make too much comprimises with NB and RAM timings , so much, the bandwidth really sucks.

Yeah, that sounds good :) the higher VTT the lower GTL is used, maybe you have looked in the GTL thread, but the REF voltage you have to keep at about 0.8v
and many boards got diffrent values for GTL, I see that you got DFI and they are not the same as mine, that uses multiplier, check the thread, they have the formula for right GTL, and then you can fine tune it.

You got low vNB :) for that fsb, im needing about 1.50 for 450fsb, but maybe it depends on what other settings and PL you got. Why do you think 1.34 are high? :) i had my 8500 at 1.45 daily, worked perfectly since it was released, late january until now when i sold it. Ah well its up to the person itself im not blaming you.

Its fun tweaking, but its getting frustrated sometimes :)

happy tweaking! :D

regards.

I got lower vNB because my bord uses the P45 chipset and yours the X48. Mine is 60Nm and yours 90Nm.

I read the GTL thread. Man there's a lot of info in that topic. It really helped me to fine tune GTL. Like I said it was hell , but eventually got my stable setting (based on 0.80) Still, for the right values I had to use trial and error , so there a lot op combo's possible for GTL.
and yes, i can get very frustrating :rofl:

Guess this is enough for now, going for 4.5GHz but still testing bios settings.

Where did you guys get all your Q822A435 from? I looked all over the US and found a Q822A430 VID 1.215v that tops out at 4480GHz 452x10 @ 1.33v, for some reason the FSB comes out to be 448 instead of 452.....:confused:

If I can get one I'm willing to pay international shipping for it!

Excuse me if this goes to offtopic but i have to ask you... What makes you keep LLC disabled?

Becouse i have started to belive that my LLC fails randomly, computer is stable to IBT/Gaming/prime, but on idle whit 0% load it can make some weird reboots sometimes!

So i think that LLC makes random "huge" volt drops when it is on idle.

Interesting, this CPU with Asus P5Q-E (same setup in BIOS 1703m) was stable only 1h17min.
