I think the matter is my parameter on my P5Q ...
(sorry for my bad english ... french inside) .:up:
So bought one of of the guy's e8500 eo chips for $185 shipped.Quote:

I got my E8500 @ local store with 164 euros its like 240 $, the original price was 208 euros but i got it with 164 e... the original price was just ridicilous :rofl:Quote:

any help is appreciated.
i do, did you get the newegg combo deal as well? next time i reboot (which will be tonight) i'll write down what i have for ya.Quote:

This board is a tough nut to crack!!! A real Pain in the ass!!! But, it can be done.
My system is air cooled. I have an air-conditioned room. I believe it would be the best to shoot for 475 fsb
at 4275 mhz. Good luck, let me know how this comes out for you.

Mines still kickin', got some new 4850's for "her".. :up:

its not realy bad,.. i've seen 4g under 1.3 with that VID ;)Quote:

I'd say E0 stepping is just that good, I know a friend of mine that got an E8400 that clocks to 4.5GHz (500x9) with 1.4v.
yeah..i got the combo. would be great if you could post it..thanks!:up:Quote:

i saw a vid of 1.2500 for mine and though it wasn't going to be that good for an E0 but it's running at 4g with under 1.3 for the vcore.Quote:

If you need to go higher on the voltage I will tell you I have to e8400's running at over 1.5 v for just under 9 months now.
Still you should get stable right around 1.4.
WZ
Im at around 1.32xx with load-line calibration enabled to get to 425x9 and it seems stable, but it needs 1.28 vterm. It passed 10 runs of linpack, I still need to do more tweeking and stress testing. Trying to get to a 450fsb is a struggle at any decent voltage. I was running 1.45 vcore in bios on my last board just to get the 425fsb stable that I'm at now.Quote:

same stepping on forumdeluxx.de ran 4ghz @ 1.136v... really good stepping so it seems :)
Of course I'm gonna try lower volts ;)
step by step, i follow my way to my objective ( over 4.5ghz) .

the autor of OCCT (who is on my favorite forum => www.hardware.fr) knows that the Tjmax is bad for our E8x00 E0 .
We must to remove 5°c of all t°c given in occt .
Curious, any of you guys switch from a Quad to one of these for any particular reason?
They clock way better, no way you reach 600 fsb with a quad and for gaming it's mostly unnecessary to have a quad :)
Before I get flamed, I said mostly ;)
This is an E0 E8500 with a vid of 1.2500. Lapped and water cooled. Vid doesn't mean :banana::banana::banana::banana:.

BTW I've got the 3.8Ghz Q6600 in my sig and this E8500 @ ~ 4.5ish. Still debating which one I should keep. Dammit it's my gaming rig, the other one that encodes and acts as server is already 3.2Ghz quad, it's a hard decision - I love the quad but I do think 4.5Ghz is faster...and looks more exciting!! :cool:
I dunno if you guys test or what not but do the e84/8500s really use 100 less watts than the Quads?
I understand your dilemma, but I have a simple solution, keep them both :DQuote:

Well thats the thing I need to "liquidate" a few things ;) I dont need 2 monster CPUs - even though I'd love to keep them both. Also, I have a tendency to swap back and forth... sometimes more than once a day. I need to break that addiction too lol!!Quote:

Hey, guys. Sorry for (possible) offtopic but I'd be grateful if you would check out my new Linpack front-end.
It looks a lot like Orthos, has a simple GUI and a real-time error checking which IBT lacks.
And since LinX is Linpack-based it's the most stressful test for Intel processors available to date.

why run a virus scan while gaming, lol.
yes the duals are better. get you some dude, they're cheap too.
Sometimes your virus checker comes on automatically once a week. I was surprised several times when Norton was running a virus check in the background while I was online gaming...until I turned off this automatic feature.
My E3100 (E8400) uses over 50% of the both cores, even for an older game like Battlefield 1942, despite having a 8800GT video. While playing d/l movies from the hard drive only uses 2-3% of the cpu. I don't think many games actually utilize all 4 cores, it has to be programmed by the game designers to use more than 2 cores.
I set all my AV/defrag stuff to happen while I'm at work; that way the only one it'll piss off is the wife.:)
I'll have some OC stuff for my e8400 here when my new board finishes crossing the Canadian border.
personally, don't see the benefit of quadcores unless they oc as high and as easily as duals :D Prolly 'cause I like oc'ing my cpus :D
Nice! I completed it which is cool, bumped FSB up a few notches and left the same voltage and it failed. Combined with Prime95 and OCCT this might be a quick and easy test before a 10+ hr prime. I found it to heat up my CPU more than Prime or OCCT.Quote:

I have found something else strange with these chips. I can prime, OCCT and LinX with this chip at 4.5Ghz. But I get some strange crashes in games. If I back it off to about 4.4Ghz its fine. These 45nm chips just don't seem 'reliable' I guess. I dunno, it seems I have alot more problems with stability than I ever did with my 65nm quad.
Anyone of you guys using the E8400 with the DFI Blood Iron P35 board and getting at least 4ghz clockspeed? Are the Gskill PC2-8000 2x2GB modules the best to help me achieve such a clockspeed?
has anyone bought an E8400 from scan.co.uk? Did you get the E0 stepping?
I emailed them and they said they have a high turn around for that chip so the likelihood I get the latest version is high but not guaranteed.
so i did find the maximum FSB on my crap P5K an it was 493.
I can believe that i cant go past 493 with anything !
http://www.aijaa.com/img/t/00726/2827062.t.jpg
Sad. Mine would boot up to 525 (and maybe more) but anything above ~480 is pretty unstable. Try upping NB volts. It probably can't handle 4GB at that clocks.Quote:

@dnottis, i noticed that you have the same ram as me . what kind of volts are you giving them for the higher overclocks.im having a hard time with mine
Well the is memtest stable to around 1150, haven't gone further. But with the memory over ~1050 I get stability issues. its not the memory, it's either the divider or just high memory speed coupled with the overclock that will make mine unstable. if I drop my OC enough I can run DDR-1100. I think the memory controller on the board starts to choke when the OC is so high.Quote:

@dnottis, but are you keeping them at 1.9v or do you give them more to get 1150
This is the max so far out of my E8500 E0:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3123/...c2173eb8_b.jpg
9.204sec at only 4680MHz?? That's very very good! :up:
yes, very good :)
but too much Vcore I think, I really hope you can do this with less volts;)
No no.....CPUZ can't read .5x multi:rofl:Quote:

1.7v?? You guys do realize you are destroying a 45nm chip with that much voltage right?
radaja - 1.9 @ 1150. Even 1100 is memtest stable @ 1.8v though.
E8400 Q826A290 is good FPO?
buy it or not :confused:
IMO its good option. But ask them who know OC´ing more than me.Quote:

Sorry for going offtopic on my very first post, but I just ordered a Maximus Formula for my yet to order E8400/E8500.
My question is, will the E8500 get a higher average oc on good air? Its only 20 dollars more than E8400.
Also wondering if water give me more oc on the same voltage?
I couldn't find a updated oc-batchnumbers-list here, can anybody point me in the right direction?
Looking forward to getting it to its max, Ill be sure to post batchnumber and oc results here!:D
Make sure you get an E0 chip SLB9J for e8400 and SLB9K for e8500.

The 20 bucks is basically paying for the extra .5 in multiplier (9 vs 9.5). As with all chips, YMMV on OC.
Thanks :bows:
Big fan of this thread :D
Here is another run I did back in January with an early CO SLAPL 8400. Its been running great at 4500 24/7 and can still do 4900.::cool:
I just got my 8400 q828 wafer #11 in the mail with a p5q-e and 4gb g.skill 8000 cl5q. So far i'm just making sure everything is stable, running 3.6hz 400 x 9 at 1.1v cpuz:D Currently loading at 52c with xigmatek 1283 and antec tri cool on medium inside an antec sonata.
will try 4ghz later :)
EDIT; Got impatient. 4ghz is running ~61c on intel burn test ATM. However, 4ghz is taking 1.30vcore in bios 1003. Under load it is dropping to 1.232 - 1.240 in cpuz. I do not have load line correction enabled as I read it does bad things to chips..
Anyone else getting this 0.06 - 0.07 droop under load? Are any bioses better at handling this? I'm not sure I want to enable LLC or do a vdroop mod...
Looks like this chip is pretty average, anyone care to comment?

Your RAM is rated 8000 - i.e. 1000 MHz, thus it won't hold you back at those 445 x 9 (it'll be running only @ 890 MHz when on 1:1 divider at FSB 445). Maybe you should ask in Blood Iron thread too.Quote:

Can anyone comment on a E8400 FPO Q817A378
I can get it brand new for a cool 145 bucks
To spend or not to spend
the Q819 batch is what i just got in my RMA. it runs cooler than my previous E8400... i can only get mine upto 4.0 stable but i think my lack of knowledge and know how with my board is holding me bac
k. plus my mem ddr2 800.. its rock stable at 4.0im sure you can get higher with it.. so with itbeing Q817 batch its not the E0 stepping so thats going against it there.... but for $145 that is sweet.
Thanks for your comments.Quote:

Think I'll pull the trigger on this chip
yes it shouldnt have a problem hitting 4.0ghz. just be carefull and not over juice it. take it up little at a time to get the lowest volts to run at 4.0
i was running every day at 3.6ghz. but with my new board and my new RMA'd CPU i got it running real nice at 3.83ghz no problem i would have left it
@ 4.0 but like i said my volts were to high for me....
iknow guys not to xtreme....lol
got a Q9550 E0 stepping in the works that i am gonna go crazy with...
Yeah, I think 4.0GHz is reasonable to achive around 1.3-1.35V with that FPO:up:Quote:

My usual performance product is 45.3k or so
well im priming @ 4095 with 1,296 vcore with my older C0 e3110. it seems my chip doesn't seem like to go above about 61-63c.
Just to be sure I have the correct setting for my E8400. In Coretemp 0.99.3 -> settings -> Tjunction Max offset I need to put -5C right?
and in Realtemp you don't need to adjust anything right?
i believe that correct
anyone get a q827a e8500 results?
99.3 Sets 100oC which is correct for the 8400 so no offset needed.Quote:

Well, of course, you need a proper (air) cooling solution, which is almost everything but the stock cooler, and you'll be fine.

I put it in a Maximus Formula on AIR Xigmatek s1283 (i hate pushpins)
1.26V @ stock in bios and CPUz
I tried to set the FSB to 450 but failed to get the resulting Rated-FSB below 1700Mhz.
Dont know why, nbstrap can be set on 200,266,333,400 and the higher this is set the smaller the mem jumps will be when oc-ing, but it does not manipulate the rated FSB strangely enough, maybe i've bin on AMD to long :(.
Results so far: (finished last night 04:50)
after 4 Hours of Orthos "small fft" cpu stresstest cpu is 38 degrees celsius. (still running)
It is working at +-3.870Mhz, +-1780Mhz Rated FSB, stock voltage (auto)
(430*9, nbstrap 400, stable for 4+ hours)
voltage reads 1.268 in CPUZ I think this is good :D
Can anybody help me go higher without this ridiculus high Rated FSB?
p.s It is flying in Vista, everything is instant, only user exp.index gives 5.9 for everything but calculations, wich is 5.8 WTF. (no difference 3Ghz or 3.9Ghz)
