Nope, that is a bogus reading. I use 1.30v [on sig ;)]. For some reason CPU-Z doesn't work right when used on a BlackOps. We rely on the Aegis panel, which is why I apologized for not showing it since I knew it was going to confuse people a bit.Quote:

Danmoody how are ya? didnt see ya at microcenter yesterday..lol
ok guys i got a E8400 OC'd to 3.6ghz my mobo is a GA-P35-DS3R. with F11 bios. outside of a slight increase to my vcore and takeing my mem(crucial ballistix ddr2 800) up to+.04
i havent done much more t oget to 3.6ghz. what might i need to do to get it up to the 3.8-4.0 range with air cooling or is 3.6ghz where im stuck at?
this is my very first build, i dont know a whole lot about it but i am learning..lol
I increase the NB voltaje to 1.56 ...max is 1.7...i must increase it to max? ...please help me ppl...Quote:

good bad average????
From what I understand, E8400 Q807A190 is supposed to be real good.Quote:

this is actually my second E8400 i RMA'd the first one i couldnt get it to OC past 3.4ghz, but hte problem i had was my crappy mem. but intel rma'd me a new cpu so i got this one directly from intel. ive had it up to 3.91 once ran for 30+ mins then crashed.
im runnning now at 3.6 with my vcore barely above the minimum volts 1.250v. so if i took up the vcore to say 1.355 i should be able to get 3.8-3.9ghz would i need to change anything else? to be honest i think my mobo isnt 100% compatible with the E8400. i have the GA-P35-DS3R. revision 2.0 i also think my mem might be holding me back some also.crucial ballistix ddr2 800 pc6400(2-1gb sticks double sided 16chip) not sure how much past 800mhz they will run.
Well, I don't know too much about that board, but you might want to check for a bios update. That might help with chip compatibility. Depending on the exact batch and the cooling, a lot of the Q807A batch chips are hitting 4.0GHz on nice low volts.

Disabled CPU and PCI spread spectrum ?
For 2gb with P35 based mobo's 1.4NB is way than more enough for 450FSB, this is not a Foxconn Black ops mobo... no need to push voltages so high...

wooo hooo fire that puppy up !!
well i hope i can join the club now. been tweaking my E8400 for the first time and trying to get it to 4.0ghz. kinda nervious about doing it .this is my first and only build so far and im still learning. but this is what igot right now. i had to adjust my vcore a few times to get it here. it is running OCCT right now and all is fine so far. also ran sandra burnin and passed with flying colors.
CPUz
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/OCCT.png
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ndraburnin.png
OCCT is still running has about 22 mins till finished. then im gonna fire up Orthos and get it going good there.
i Upped my vcore up to 1.3685v to finally get it stable(so far)
upped my MCH +.1
upped my FSB +.1
i was worried about my mem not handleing the 450mhz so i droped it to 445mhz. all is well and im running my mem at 4-4-4-12 2t 1:1 ratio.
guess i need to change my sig now..lol
Drop multi to 8x plz...try again... Could be windows is corrupted due to the numerous lockups...Quote:

@leeghoofd
how does one get on the wolfdales OC list?lol
I have a Q807 E8500 with Asus Rampage Formula and 4GB G Skill DDR2-1066.
Currently I am trying to push the E8500 to 4.2GHz with:
443MHz*9.5 with memory running DDR2-1064
Vcore=1.39V w/o Load Line Calibration (LLC) or 1.36V with LLC (Bios)
VTT (FSB Thermination Voltage) = 1.36 (Bios)
VPLL = 1.6V
NB = 1.61V
Everything are stable (benchmarks) but I am not too happy about the high NB voltage that leads to high NB temperature (~57 deg.).
Surprisingly, the most difficult part of OC'ing my system is to get stable windows boot up and restoring from hibernation. I use hibernation in day-to-day basis to cut down the Windows boot time (30 sec vs 5 min). I found that to get stable restore from hibernation, I need to have the above configuration (e.g. high NB voltage). (My test routine is 1) Restore/start my PC from hibernation 2) Run Super Pi 1M.) Without considering hibernation, I can drop every voltage by several notches and not affecting stability.
Another issue is Window boot up stability. I observed that sometimes my machine needs 2 boots to start with the first one crash right before the Windows desktop shows up.
Anyone has some insight about these symptoms? Does any one use hibernation?
@LeegHoofd i cannot install the latest bios flash because i need Asus DOS utility or something like that...i don t find the stupid program...:(
whats with this Wafer number and where can I find it ( on the cpu itself or on the box). And what is the assumption to be better the lower the number or the higher or there is no correlation?
VPLL you will need 1.50V, for this e8xxx 1.50V are more than enough! 1.61V to NB is too much.. try 1.41,1.43V.Quote:

Thanks for your suggestion. I have 2x2gb. I tested them using Memtest86+ @ DDR2-1064 and it passed (~3 hours).
I have been trying to reduce NB and PLL voltages. However, in order to have stable hibernation restoring, this is the voltage it needs. I wonder if there are any other parameters (like CPU/NB GTL Ref Voltage?) can be adjusted to counter the high NB voltage.
The failure mode of after hibernation re-boot looks like this: Right after system restore->Super Pi->Select 1M->Run->Crash and Reboot immediately.
Does this scenario tell me something?
E3110 (Q815A398)
http://www.home.no/rogerh99/P5KPremi...Prime@1,35.jpg
This one seems far more promising than 2 former Q802 - which barely broke 4G @ +1.4V.
Further testing in progress ;)

You mean letting Prime run for 1 hour or more?
I don't belive much in the 'chip-degradation' theory. Maybe over 1.45V we may have a problem with degradation - in the long term. But this is still to be seen.
AMEN to that.Quote:

You can download it from the ASUS website. Furthermore, [from what I remember] shouldn't be included as an option within your BIOS under TOOLS? I know the X48 and P45 boards made by ASUS have it.Quote:

If I show you a screenshot with Orthos running for 1hr+, a SuperPI 32M completion, Aegis Panel [BlackOps user here] showing actual voltage, and CPU-Z showing everything else you might need, would that get me on the spreadsheet?
Pretty decent chip this Q815A417:

Not too bad volts for 4ghz stable on air. Still tweaking for 24\7 setup. So many options on these P5Q mobo's!
MUMID
very nice there. love your temps too. i just dont know how you guys get these low temps. with mine at 4.05ghz under load im as high as 75c
i still beleive its my mobo that causes the E8400 to get so warm. ive tried 3 different Coolers and cant get any lower temps. allways the same no matter what cooler i have.
most of batch Q807 I saw ( had Q807A091 xeon ) get high temps .
i have afriend who has the E3110Xeon in a ASUS rampage formula i will have to see waht his batch number is. but his temps are lower than mine also. granted he has a TRUE 120mm cooler on his also
Sure mate, I have confidence in all of you that noone cheats... so stable for you is stable for meQuote:

Eviva Espana !!!!!!!!!
leeghoofd
are you doing any other adjustments to get that high of a OC(4.3ghz) other than takeing the vcore up?
so i should be able to get 4.0ghz with 1.30v?
CPU PLL I take up to 1.56 from 1.52 and FSB Term from 1.22 to 1.26... Rest just up Vcore...
But think you will have to verify that CPU IHS mate, you got a hothead like I have one... I'm planning to lap that IHS to see if temps drop... at stock CPU idles at 42° Coretemps and goes up to 60°C at 1volt lol...
oh i was just asking so id know for future OC's. yesi gotta do something about my temps for sure.

Ohh look... its just a baby.
Intel really selling these puppies. Most sellers have newly manufactured chips only.
Hello,
I have my 'old' e8500 Q805A564 that I never got around to building with 'till now.
With a 'good' cpu-only WC loop, anyone care to venture on the the expectations for 24/7 speeds with this cpu + P5Q Dlx?
From the list compiled by Leeghoofd, it doesn't seem that my dream of 480*9.5 is going to be possible with reasonable v for 24/7. Looks like I should be able to hold 450*9.5 for 24/7. When I build, I'll definitely post results, but for now, any thoughts?? Also, max vcore for daily use 1.4 okay, or is lower needed for daily??
im no pro at this stuff by far but from, what i have read and heard from others, i think 1.4v for everyday 24/7 usage is a little high. myself i wouldnt try over 1.36v for everyday useage. thats just my opinion.Quote:

I just got an interesting finding... I reconfigured my FSB/RAM settings and now ORTHOS reads the actual speed of my CPU [which is exactly the same as before]. The old settings were 9 x 475 = 4275, the new settings are 9.5 x 450 = 4275; and like I mentioned in my last comment [above] ORTHOS read the speed of my CPU at 4515Mhz, and it must have done something to the actual speed because my temps reached a whopping 67c but now they hardly go over 61c while performing the exact same test. Anyone care to comment on this?
On a side note, I'm currently running ORTHOS with the new settings, but instead of small FFT 8Ks as before, I'm doing a blend to test my new RAM settings. Have any of you noticed ORTHOS "paging" while running this test? I had never seen that before; although in my defense all I used ORTHOS for has been small FFT 8K tests in the past.
Normally a higher multi bundled with a lower FSB could be obtained with lower Vcore, so resulting in lower temps... but that's a big drop for the same overal CPU speed...Maybe the TIM has settled now, lower ambient temps ?
The Paging also happens here when running blend mode... don't worry about it... result added thx for the contribution mate, nice setup :)
I didn't lower the vCore or anything for that matter [CPU related]. The changes were mainly in the RAM department, I went from CAS8 [8-8-8-16] to CAS7 [7-7-7-14] just to see if I gained any performance. I also tried it to lower the Performance Level [CAS8 had Lv7] but when I tried Lv6 on CAS7 and ran any stress test/benchmark it rebooted my PC; so Lv6 is a no go. Ambient temperature still the same inside my house [air conditioned], outside however did drop a lot, but since the AC is on I know it has nothing to do with the result.Quote:

And nice OC result btw. :up: I thought my brains stopped responding when i saw 0.9xx in cpu-z :D, but with 1.32v it's still a great chip. The max temps however are just the same as on my 8400 4.2 @ 1.400v and air cooled :confused:.
The temp comparison was made with same test [small FTT 8K]. The reason for the higher temp on water is that the PC resides in my attic, and it is way hotter there than the rest of the house [even with AC on].Quote:

exellent oc4/3 !
Well been about 5 months or so since I tried to OC this computer (just been letting it sit at stock because no good games to play ATM). So, I decided to see if I could finally get 4Ghz 24/7 stable. I think I may have done just that.
So far:
3DMark Vantage stable, 1hr OCCT Mem stable, and 20hr Prime95 8k-128k stable.
http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/3...me95ws7.th.jpg
Going to let it crunch away at some proteins for the next day or so for the final test.
Edit: Just finished 2hrs of OCCT Mem testing (like that more than 1hr)
Thanks.Done under my water:DI think the efficiency is ok but still got room:shrug:Quote:

EDIT:
Show me your 20hrs test printscreen @4,2GHz as given in your sig - if it is not a big problem :P
20H is tooo much for nothing 3h shows 24/7 stability for good 10h of blend is sure nice but 20h is overkill :p
or 48 hrs of folding ;)

And I will show you mine if I can see yours of course as long as you are a chick..:rolleyes:Quote:

Also, my batch # is Q815A418. Anyone have experience with OCing this batch and know how well it clocks?
if its anything like my Q815A417 (see post on previous page) it should be decent. 4ghz with 1.216 vcore :up:Quote:

So this morning I unplugged everything except keyboard and video and it started right up. After I set the BIOS (bios was showing a 9.5 multiplier also) and all to a FSB 400 and booted it i saw the post screen said 3.8Ghz. I only let it hit the desktop then shut down cause I have to do this work thing. I though the E8400 was locked.
I set the Vcore to 1.36 in bios. CPU -z read my voltage .04 less then waht bios is set at so
vcore 1.32
