I'm just gonna check what he can do with some cold (SS -40°C /1.35v)

Never reached 5Ghz under TrueBlack -_- atmo 4,9 on MIIFF but not 32M stable with that Q822A435 :( (vid:1.1625)

I loose 200mhz on UD3P rahhh!! but nice ram clocking compared to the ROG mobo ;)

I think there's a day and night difference between 9x500 and 10x500. Or do you mean i'm pessimistic about the Christina Aguilera thing? :D

Hell, you're right, she's on my answering machine asking what the hell is keeping me so long! :)

I sell that and buy e8500 :p: If i overclocked e8600 10x440fsb = 4.4ghz compared i overclocked same prosessor 9x 489fsb = 4.4ghz, can i get more power to ratio9 setting?

I don't think the 9 multi will gain you any more overclock.

It's not fair to say the E8600 is bad, i think you just happend to have one very good E8500!

Some early testing on my "new" Q822A435.

Not as good as my old Q822A435 but still capable of running Prime at 4.5GHz. :)

Maybe with some tuning of the GTL voltages i might be able to lower the Vcore some.

Still pretty happy with this.

:yepp: its good
mine is good as long as doesnt drop below 1.30 on load
i seen a few that needed 1.4+:rofl:

Bought my E8600 used. Recently went to Q9650 and kinda want to go back because I can't really get over 457fsb vs 550.
E8600 batch Q820A845
VID is 1.2125

If you don't mind hacked SLI on legacy Intel, I would recommend selling your board for a gigabyte UD3x series board and make that quad scream.

From what I understand... The SLI 'hack' was never released... Do you know where to get the required files? Does it work for xp64?

45nm quad gonna take a bit more voltage on a 790i;)
you shoulda stuk with the e8600:yepp:
kinda suks to go back to ddr2 to clock it 500fsb

sli hack was released sozon

I've tried really juicing the voltage high but nothing seems to stop the crashes after a handful of linx loops. My coolant is reaching 41C, so I may be at the limit of what I can do with my water cooler(3x 120mm sr1-120's).

Where can I find the sli hack? I only see the initial news, and then everyone saying the dev disappeared and it's not available.

Anyway, I still have my e8600 sitting right here... But really... 4.4ghz vs 4.11ghz... Not to big a difference... Although the whole 457 fsb vs 550 fsb is annoying.

Hey guys,

Advance apologies for making a slightly "noob" post, but I just wanted some general advice on overclocking my E8600. Some info:

Chip: SLB9L Malay, Q820A601, VID=1.200V (from CoreTemp)
Board: DFI LP LT X38-T2R, latest BIOS
RAM: 2 x 2GB OCZ Blade LV PC2-9200
Cooler: Zalman CNPS9700-NT

I'm just wondering if you guys can give me a ball park speed/voltage I should be aiming for to use the machine 24/7 long term. And any little tips/tricks which have arisen from this thread (sorry I haven't read it all!).

Cheers,

Su

P.S. Also, I noticed a lot of you disable VDroop control - why is this?

no matter what your 790i requires more juice +.05-.1
500fsb is a new ballgame;) its the big bang:D
my rex needed extreme voltages for 500fsb

480-500fsb x9
333/800 divider
cpu 1.36-1.4v
vtt 1.3
pll 1,55 max any more you will degrade cpu
nb 1.55
gtls can stay on auto
intel says to dissable vdroop to protect cpu
well i ennabled vdroop on dfi

zsamz, thanks for that mini guide :up:

Seems you have (or had?) the same motherboard as me :D did you notice any increase in stability when you had VDroop control enabled? Also I see you ran 4 x RAM sticks at 1200MHz :eek: I'm thinking of getting another set of Blades to make 8GB (as I'll be keeping this rig for a long time!).

I just picked up an 8600 Q223A221 07/31/08 not sure of vid yet.

I have not decided whether to mate it with the Asus S2E or 780i yet.

Has anybody got experience with this batch?

vdroop no vdroop who cares
i wont have the cpu forever :rofl:
as long as its stable n dont go over 60c i'm good
on my rex its more stable with droop as long as it dont go below 1.3 i'm good for 4.5 anythin more i need more juice

I've been through all the pages here and unless I missed it I don't see one 8600 that has Q223 all seem to start with Q222.
Is it possible that everyone here has sought out the specific Q222 instead of the Q223's. Is there something wrong with them? In any case once I get it installed I'll report back what I can do with it.

You sure it's Q222? I have a Q822 --> 8= 2008 22=week 22.

My mistake I meant 823 vs 822

Got bored. More low voltage action.
4.2ghz used to take my golden e8400 C0 1.36v.

And this is less than the default 1.25v on most motherboards(q820a405):

@ LagunaX Excellent low V action! What is the proc VID?
10-07-2009, 08:11 AM

Same chip in post #752 above - vid 1.1625v.

Wow that is low. I need to get mine installed and see what it's VID is but I want to lap my TRUE first and need the time to do it.
