I have not had this experience with previous core 2 chips. So, am I to understand, as I hope, that the reported temps are largely bogus and that it is safe to proceed based on vCore. Experience tells me that any vCore under about 1.45 is not going to get too hot. After all, if it gets too high the chip will throttle and if the sensor is reporting high it will throttle at a lower temp, no??Quote:

put it to 1.38v real for 4.812ghz but got a BSOD after saving the pic lol :D
Striker II Formula and Vista, still got <10s @ under 4.7ghz :D
I know I know it's not top notch but at least I got under 10 :D
Funny score mate, that 9.999sec. :D
How are the temps/tempsensors on that cpu of yours?
Well the radiator air out says 26.5c and coretemp says both cores 29c... don't think I can expect any lower right?
Under Orthos load it doesn't reach above 48 on both cores in the first minute, so it's not exactly a heat monster either :)
All this @ 1.33v :) very very impressive this cpu, but then again, judging by the FPO/Batch I already could expect this :up:
Definitely highly recommended :up:
Just got this response from unclewebb concerning E8600 Tj max.
So Real Temp should be giving correct temps.
Zeus, I got mine from Norks-IT (norksit.com)
Little quick test (Thermalright HR-01+):

I shared some findings about mine Q820A599 here.
Ok... Q820A405 from the Egg. 1.2125 VID. this striker II has issues at 1800fsb. Wont run 5 min at 1800 with any multi. 1900 x 9.5 is my initial stable OC for 4513mhz on air. 1.42 in bios 1.47 in windows. Max temp is 80c. I've ran prime 95 for about 30 min so far. Stopped it to get memory benchmarks then re-started for this SS to show load temps. I will tweak more and show more stability tests including 3D soon. Just wanted to get my initial numbers up for those who are watching. I may switch to intel chipset mobo now that ATI has some awesome video cards..... Sorry i strayed a lil lol. bbs with more numbers.

This is what i have done so far in early testing on Q820A599:

:)
Tekxpert you have an awesome chip!
Jumped the gun too early and got an e8600es but couldn't complain about the price of $249 - lapped it b4 I even tested it, lol!
I know it ain't retail but not a great one yet not a bad one - qhex q814a527 vid 1.1375
Still testing but I think i might settle for this setting as 4.4ghz requires 1.38+vcore on this chip.
Seems to be the same story all over again - ES chips seem to require higher vcore but run cooler - this is on a TRUE aircooled rig =).

Some quick testing. Not the best batch but it works :)
Batch : Q820A602
VID : 1,2500

Q822 seems the best batch so far. Am i correct?
seems so.Quote:

Highest I tried is 4750mhz but needed 1.62 to get there on water.
9.984s super pi done there.
Doing orthos atm at 4.5ghz.
using 1.5vcore.
:eek: holy crap Garrett what nice score m8 :)
will post soon i installed my sweet e8600 to.
i cant say i`m very pleased with my Q822A...i expected ~100mhz more with that voltage...SS at -42C..this piece was very hot...25C difference from coretemp - evap temp..

this was a 9.906 pi run here http://www.glowfoto.com/viewimage.ph...=1841&srv=img3
guess eyem looking for a 822 also:D
I was about to get me one but probably next month but when i saw Q822A435 was the stepping to have i new i had to rush things a bit.
Told the wife i couldn't hold out and just had to break out the wallet one more time.
She already knew it was too late to try to stop me. :D
Will rebuild my sys tomorrow, new mobo, new cpu and new tubing for my watercooling with new fittings.
Same Batch and CoreBatch (2V82311) as my 5Ghz @ 1.488v 32M chip :D
Over 5100 validation :)
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=402826
Some 5GHz+ SuperPi 1m action :D
-edit-
Somehow CPU-Z shows the vcore 0.09 too low, Everest has it right though :)
PS Zeus you have a WONDERFUL stepping too lol... you're gonna rock I just know it, congratulations in advance :up:
Got mine today, pleased to say i`ve got an Q822A435:D. No time to try it tonight, just got in from work. Playtime tommorow i think.
My E8600 just got here 30 minutes ago, testing just started, it's so hot, and the VID 1.1750V
BATCH Q820A306 from the egg

just isnt the one speed increase I was hoping for.
It will hold me up until i7 is out and tested for buy.

Garrett buddy, thanks for the heads up about that store to get this cpu, it's literally a 5 min drive from my place. :D
I hope mine will be as good as yours and Chri$ch' , 5GHz on plain water is awesome and something i will aim for.
My sys is completly apart now, part are all over the kitchen table but the board is already in my case with the new golden cpu already on it.
Tomorrow i'm gonna do some plumbing work, do some leak testing and see how my cpu overclocks.
So yours needed 1.54Vcore to do 1M at 5GHz, right?
Exactly, from 4.8 and on it eats volts lol... hope you get your rig up and running soon, I'll leave it at this, I've done 5ghz now, 5ghz club member lol :D
I don't recommend 5ghz for 24/7 though ;)
go flopper ! :up:
