guys use preview not full pics....has anyone have abit ip35-e and e8400...mobo undervolts like crazy....
bios 1.305v idle 1,152v load 1,16v cpu-z
bios 1.385v idle 1,264v load 1,232-1,240v cpu-z
grr, iritatting.....

Wow thats really bad o.o
yeah i've heard of the abit p35 series really not keeping up with these chips.Quote:

Just received my 780i upgrade from EVGA ($89=ftw)
Here are my results:

That's a result of using a bios version that doesn't fully support the E8X00 series yet. So far the only one that we've got that works correctly is 16B09, that should make your selected voltages match up much better and get your temps inline if they're being reported funny by the bios / hardware monitorQuote:

Damn nice chip. I have a feeling you could probably do 4.2 and still be just under or over 1.3vcore (Windows).
Wow ! Nice Chip Vixx
Vixx, we have the exact same batch. They're great!
I think my 8400 just degraded, I did prime95 stable for 9hrs 2 weeks ago at 4.15GHz , V1.38
Now I need V1.39 to be stable , or maybe more
WTH with 8400 ??
if u have another board try on that one and see what happends, as my maximus began to act funny after right after I popped in a wolfdale, but the board is sold now. U sure your ram is stable in the first place?
Please try to run prime again.Quote:

I had the same on my Abit IP35 - I think BIOS it is not ok yet, nad you have to wait for the new one :(Quote:

Currently running stable @ fsb 475 vcore 1.304 real, what do you think?
i'm using 14 so best way is to update to beta 16,right ?Quote:

well i should upgrade bios hehe....
I find that for this CPU, I only need 1.31v for 4.0 (8x500) but to try for anything higher requires big voltage increases.
I know everyone's sick of hearing the d word, but the Q745A I have definitely needs more juice than it used to. It still does 8.5x500 (4.25ghz) 2 hours Prime stable, but it needs exactly .05v more vcore than it did before I took it over 1.4v.
This is the second e8400 of mine that seems to have degraded, so to prove this to myself at least, I started tracking this one right out of the box. I got it prime stable (around 1 - 2hrs) at about ten different clocks, using as little voltage as possible. I settled for 8.5x500 with 1.275vcore, which was priority 9 Orthos blend stable for 2+hrs.
I kept this log of settings around and after about a week of real world use testing, I decided to run some benchmarks. I did maybe 30 - 40 superPi and 3dmark runs, bringing the voltage up to a max of 1.42vcore. I never ran prime or any other torture test over 1.3125vcore.
After benching I wanted to see if the chip had taken a hit, so I went back to my log and to my saved profiles in cmos reloaded and ran prime again at the settings that had been stable. They all instantly failed. They began to pass as I notched up the vcore for each clock. It took a total of exactly .05v more at each clock to pass 2 hours than it had before benchmarking. It needed the same .05v at each clock.
So just to be clear this is not proof to anyone else, just what I've found using my simple note taking method.
The chip still does 8.5x500 prime stable with only 1.325vcore, so it's all good.
Another note - temp readings are fine and they scale up and down in sync before and after the possible degradation.

Well... You really cant expect a chip to last very long running it under full load for hours and hours on end. If you did that to old Atholon chips you almost guarantee that they arent going to last very long.Quote:

Prime95 should not be run for 24 hour stability checks... the chips were not meant to do that when being overclocked. I could see that at stock volts but not with more juice. :shrug:
