Nice results for air!
nice
Not bad for air!!
Thankee Thankee, sure as hell beats my previous MSI P35 Neo2-FR Board :D
Nice :up:
Man, I'd love one of these as they clock so great but need a quad for crunching.
that orchi works good, cuz 1.65 v's and ur getting 72c is not bad.
edit - have you done vdroop mod?
I am not experiencing a vdroop....Quote:

People that are commenting are giving me nice comments, but my poll is showing unl33tness!
why! I don't know anyone who has achieved 4.5ghz e8400 on AIR...AIR!!!
AIR people, give me some credit jeez.:confused:
Are you looking for an eReacharound or something???
Congrats dude!
Great job!
Kudos!
*eReacharound FTW* :up:
wtf is a ereacharound?Quote:

Probably because he does not want to kill his cpu with all those volts...Quote:

all E8400 and E8500 I had could do much more than 4500mhz on air, thats easy ;)
stable? if I apply so much volts as you yes, but dont think that your cpu will have a long life ;)
What's all this "fuzz" about "all air", and "great work"?
What is so great about mounting a CPU, feed it *lotsa* juice, well over the Intel specs, and let it "rip"?
It takes a little courage to take the "risk" to run a E8n00 on 1.6++ 24/7, running Prime/Occt/FAH, but the CPU is pretty cheap so why not?
Sorry.. could not resist.. no creds from me other than saying:
Congrats with a nice CPU/chip. :up:
I respect everyone's knowledge and input, however:
I know lots of people that use 1.6v to achieve +4ghz clocks and I truely believe that as long as the temps are in safe zone, the CPU will last.
Prime is a different story, 70's definately isn't safe but on average load with games, it doesn't even hit 60c.
I guess time will tell. in 3-4 months time, i'll re-post and see if my cpu has died or not :)
sure achieving these clocks on air is easy, but with stability? c'mon guys...
I'm proud of the Scythe Orchi either way and I wouldn't have been able to achieve this on my old 9500LED

about lots of people using 1.6vcore to get 4ghz, I'm not that sure, all my chips needed from 1.24 to 1.28vcore, but maybe you were talking about 65nm.
Heh, the people that are doing this on air fall into 2 categories...
1. Benchmarking people doing bench runs at high voltage/clocks, then backing it down (significantly) for 24/7 use.
2. Those that believe that a voltage ~.5 over stock is "ok" for their chip only to likely have it die on them within a year b/c they dont listen to the ubiquitous(sp?) wisdom of XS.
Interesting link, WAY less volts, less clock speed, same temp? : http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=178912
I guess time will tell :)
Chip will die with those volts on aircooling. Electromigration is going to take care of your chip soon... I've degraded my Opty 144@2.8GHz @ 1.71V (never exceeded 42°C on the core) after half a year, every day i could OC less untill it was good only for 2GHz...
Next week we'll see a new thread..."RIP E8400"
listen to us and dont kill your chip ;)
I think it's an interesting thread, you get to hear different sides of the voltage and longevity issues, with a little flavor added in, hold on while i get my popcorn
That's an AMD CPU, you can't compare the two.Quote:

Anyways, like I said, time will tell. I've had many cpu's that would heat up like crazy and they're still working years later.
I'm not saying heat is a good thing, like i said, my current CPU does not hit anywhere near 70 unless i do prime and ONLY prime.
Nice man, just to let you know I have the same board as your old one and I get 505fsb stable at 1.52 volts in cpuz. Also at 4.0 it only takes me 1.28 volts.
COSMOS S and no triple rad at the top. Shame Shame.

BTW, 45nm != 65nm. Stop feeding it volts that it doesn't need or it'll be the last time you get to 4GHz. Intel overclocking needs to be harder so the nubs don't think they can pull it off easy and then fry their chips... or maybe not... entertaining to hear "oh noes wtf it was 4.5GHz stable but it can't do 4 now"
EDIT: LAG, delete first post plz.
Reason why the graph is so skewed.. 1.61v for 4.5GHz is garbage. My E8400 did 4GHz with 1.3825v, 4.5Ghz with 1.45v, 4.7GHz with 1.47v and walled at 540FSB. I have seen many E8400's doing 4.5GHz with sub 1.5v. Blasting 1.6v through that chip is a sure-fire way to kill it. If you ask for screenies or declare my thoughts as fake, I bought the chip on a whim, benched it once, put it in a drawer, and subsequently sold it, so take my words on faith. 1.6v will kill your chip.
edit: ps.. I had a "mediocre" E8400 compared to alot of other samples just to put it in perspective.
Due to increasing spring temps, I've decided to clock down...until my 12,000 BTU air conditioner arrives ^.^
Currently at 4.31ghz 1.47v
I had a wierd OC'ing experience though...For some wierd reason, my frames dropped in the 30-50 zone no matter what clock I hit.
If i went back to defeault, frames would go back to normal but once i starting oc'ing again, the frames would stay in the 30-50 zone.
cpu was not overheating, didn't go past 1.51v in bios.
All CPU features disabled in bios, smart fan all that stuff.
Anyone had a simular experience?
Fixed :ROTF: :up:Quote:

The cpu stayed strong at 4ghz 1.62 volts up until last week when i replaced it with a q9550 e0. No errors, no issues..it just does no justice in BF3 even with a modded config and forced rendering DX10.
I kept the temps stable with a corsair h50.
