This should work but I haven't tested it as I don't have Vista personally.Quote:

If that doesn't work then this one might:
Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON
Let me know if this works.
I don't think that "we" would regard it as the max. But through all the testing i have done, 1.15VTT works best for stability. By that i mean, in this thread and loads of other threads on the net we have had hundreds of peeps showing us hours and hours of small FFT Prime runs. That is easy to do at very silly clocks with these procs, and proves nothing. All, or nearly all, fall down of course because they fail large FFt's within seconds, which is why nearly nobody has posted large FFT runs. Getting high stable clocks out of these procs is all about GTL % and VTT as well as Vcore of course. These procs to me are all about proper clocking, you have to think about what you are doing, not just dial in a clock and forget it, because that won't work. The easy clocking days of C2D are over, if you want good clocks now, you have to really think about what you are doing and it's consequences, and then act on it.Quote:

This is my 8+ hr P95 stability run. I will see if I can repeat it after a few weeks.
After a week with my 8400 @ 4.0ghz, 1.39v, i haven't seen any degradation as of yet.
Sorry for misunderstanding but my cpu is ok for nowQuote:

I *had* an Asus P5K Vanilla, and was running bios 0704 with my E8400. The board worked fine for a few days, then I started getting errors in windows and eventually after a normal windows reboot, the board refused to post and it never came back. If you have one I would recommend that you look at the new 0902 bios they recently posted, it says it includes support for new cpus.
Heres my 24/7 clocks
set to 1.28v in bios, i thought that wouldn't be anywere near enough :eek:
I only ran orthos for 2hours, good enough for me.
The "cpu" temp seems to be correct, its dead on with bios and appears to fluctuate correctly :shrug:

Ditto, same vcore but I'm running 4.1ghzQuote:

I was getting tired of my ridiculous temps (80+ on load) so this weekend I worked up the nerve to pull off my IHS. I have tons of experience popping open AMD chips, but learned that Intel chips are "soldered" on (and by soldered, I mean they use an adhesive thermal paste that melts at or under 100C). Did some research and found a logical removal technique involving a stove and pan. However, as I was cutting through the black silicone, the IHS just popped off on its own accord (scaring the $hit out of me in the process). Upon inspection, the die appeared intact despite the fact that I didn't even apply any heat.
However, when I put the delidded CPU back in my mobo, I was unable to get sufficient pressure between the cpu and my HS to get it to post (scaring the $hit out of me once again - thought for sure it was a goner). Tonight I finally found a copper shim that has allowed me to get enough pressure to at least boot up. My temperatures are predictably awful (die -> TIM -> copper shim -> TIM -> HS), but I am relieved to know that the chip is indeed alive.
Early next week, I will be getting some water cooling gear in. Included in that gear will be a spring mountable backplate (that didn't come out right, but you know what I mean). At that point, I will be able to properly mount my HS and will be able to provide an apples to apples temperature comparison before and after IHS removal. I will then post some water cooled results sometime the following week.
So I guess the moral of this story is that a) the IHS can be successfully removed, but b) I don't have any real comparative info as of yet. Feel free to ask me if you have questions regardng IHS removal.

Source three: closeup of Wolfdale without IHS - note no SMD's to worry about, so removal is more or less worry free: http://en.expreview.com/?p=142
can you take some picture of the IHS being removed.
How can he do that when he's already done it?Quote:

Would you guys think that it's silly to run 1.45v 24/7?
Up to you really. I'm currently Orthosing at 1.5v for about 2 hours. Will use this daily i guess as coretemp doesn't exceed 73C and Smartguardian (monitors from diode) stays at 65C.

Though Intel states 1.45v is "termination voltage" - Regardless of temps etc. That's why I'm askingQuote:

Intel also recommends surprisingly low PLL and FSB Term voltages also, which many current motherboards do not even allow settings that low (despite claiming to be 45nm "ready"). But many of us happily exceed these voltages treating our Wolfdales just like we did the 65nm Conroes. I hope they hold up in the long run?
My setup is solid as a rock at 4.005GHz (445 x 9) with 1.365v. I have my ram at 5:6 (558 MHz) @ 2.15v; Cpu PLL@ 1.4v; NB @ 1.25v; FSB Term @ 1.20v, with a Performance Value of 6.
I did put 1.60v through the cpu to reach 4.6GHz, but I wouldn't recommend going that high except for short period testing...but to each their own!
Righto, I'll leave it at 1.39v @ 4.1 for now then
Ya, sorry i meant can you take a picture of the IHS and CPU afterward.Quote:

Hi everybody.
What is the lowest VID avaliable for retail E8400?
i saw 1.050 one time!
after a little research, seems to be 0.975V!! I want to get one.Quote:
