1.248 for 4.1, ...I can just boot into windows with 1.25 at 4ghz. Does not look like they binned that E8200.Quote:

Anyone lap one of these yet? And if so, what were the results?
i did but never used it stock :D
how much is the gain lapping an E8400?
I'm curious to know myself...Quote:

I'm going to guess not much at all. I pulled my IHS off and saw almost no change. They do run hot, but the real culprit is Core Temp. Stay tuned for new developments... *winks at unclewebb*Quote:

I'm not only happy that I gained a few mhz... I'm happy that I figured out WHY this chip couldn't get to 4ghz.
Right now I just passed 4.17ghz spi 32m!!! This GTL level RLY helped!!
I saw C-N's post of setting all three GTL REF settings to 60, so I copied that and viola.
Now, I do have the other GTL buffer strength sset to strong (choice are strong and weak), which is default. Dunno if I should mess with that as I don't know what it does. Maybe if I tweak GTL ref more I'll get an even better OC, but I've no clue what it's truly doing and which plays the more important role.
Here are my settings right now:
Special thanks to C-N for his post here.Code:CPU VID Control..................... - 1.42500v
CPU VID Special Add................. - Auto
DRAM Voltage Control................ - 2.19v
SB 1.05V Voltage.................... - 1.150
SB Core/CPU PLL Voltage............. - 1.75v
NB Core Voltage..................... - 1.37v
CPU VTT Voltage..................... - 1.12v
Vcore Droop Control................. - Disabled
Clockgen Voltage Control............ - 3.45v
GTL+ Buffers Strength............... - Strong
Host Slew Rate...................... - Weak
GTL REF Voltage Control............. - Enable
CPU GTL1/3 REF Volt................. - 60
CPU GTL 0/2 REF Volt................ - 60
North Bridge GTL REF Volt........... - 60
My next concern is why is my idle temp not as low as most other people when I'm on a D-Tek Fuzion with a custom mobo back plate mount and liquid metal TIM...
Sorry I didn't get it while it was on LOAD temp... something came up and couldn't take screenshot in time:

Try 8.5 x 490 - 500 and set gtls to 59/59/59. Try this and dropping the vcore amd PLL too.
anybody here with an e8400 batch Q746A446? how's it clocking for you guys?
VID shown by Coretemp isn't correct.Quote:

dropping the PLL?? i only raised it up trying to test things out. i probably didn't even need to. can it be HARMFUL to have it raised a notch over stock?Quote:

I'm going to be extremely busy with worth the next few weeks starting Monday. I work I.T. and the company I work for is sending me to a potentially HUGE client. I'm supposed to represent our company and not that I'm nervous, but I gotta get my sh$% together. The commute and hours are adding approx. 3 hrs to my day!! :( Which means... less OCing for me.
You don't need that PLL for what you're trying to do. 1.55v is fine.
E8400 @ 4500mhz water cooled :up:
I had overclocked my E8400 with Ultra 120 extreme
1m 9.7s

I caved and started more testing :D Orthos Blend for 5 1/2 hours at 4233 with 1.31v load. Testing 4275 now,same voltage. Will post a screen shot later :)

very nice ! :up:Quote:

All of you here have good chips :) What's impressive is being able to do Orthos with such low volts.
don't forget cooling used and ambient case/room temps also play big part in reported clocks at certain volts :)Quote:

Water cooling setup is a Dehumidifier with the Rad dropped in a Rez with about 2 gallons of water in it, as well as my Ehiem 1260 pump. I have a digital controller which is set to turn the dehumid on/off at my specified temps.
The whole setup is about 15' away from my computer,(hence the 1260 pump), in another room,( water lines run behind my Bath Tub and thru the walls) :D When I built the upstairs addition, I set it up that way with an alcove for the dehumid/res so it is tucked away out of sight.
I run the lines to the Fuzion, then to my MCW60 on my vid card, then back to the Rez, works out pretty slick and I never hear the dehumid at all. Been running this cooling setup for about 4 years now. I could run the water colder very easily, but then I would need to insulate all the lines/blocks etc. Too much of a hassle for how often I change things, so I found that 50 to 53F is a good compromise to no insulation in the actual computer, and No condensation at those temps.
Sorry for the Long winded reply :)

Nice! :clap:Quote:

DRAM volts are set at 2.075v
The rest of the volts are Stock, no changes, tho I am testing 61/61/61 on the GTL's but for all practical purposes, I run them at 67/67/67 which is bios defaults.
Hope that is what you requested :)
Larry
Thanx, that was the info I was looking for :)Quote:
