OC my E8400 using Cheap Air...

My System specs are...

E8400 tray Q814A015
ASUS P5K Pro
2X1 GB DDR2 Transcend AXE RAM 1006
PSU OCZ 600W
VGA Albatron 8800GTX
Noname Cooler for 5 euro

I ordered Thermalright 120 Exreme and still waiting for deliver.
So installed this cooler and start OC..

This cooler is Worse than Intel Stock and temps is a big problem if readings are true...

So lets Start...

First Run on Default...

400 X 9 with lower Vcore...:up:

Here can do 20 Min Orthos before Temps reach > 85C :eek:

Still at low Vcore but Temps is out of Specs and cant say its Stable For 24/7

The Max OC for Now ....... Stable for some Light Benches....

More to come Soon....:D

My Cpu Loves low vcore and when Thermalright 120 Extreme arrives .... this thread will become EXTREME....:rofl:

Thanks....

Wow that's an incredible CPU :) I can't wait for benches with the TRUE.

Lucky you............

great !!!!!

i need 1.344v for 4300MHz

For full stability I need exactly the same. It's pretty good I guess :)

Sweet CPU, however, I think its the wrong section you've picked champ

you rite, its pretty good for a daily machine but 4240Mhz @ 1.16v its very hard to find ,i need a cpu like that hehehehe

:up: Thank you all...

I cant say its stable right now because temps are high and causing overheating if for example pass 20 mins of orthos..

But its a good sign for this cpu can handle high speed with such low Vcores.
ASUS is full unmoded and on default BIOS settings.

I think 4500 for 24/7 is possible if i dont hit wall on higher speed....

Just Wait for my EXTREME cooler and we together will find my CPU limmits on air.

For 24/7 i Use 4100 Mhz to be sure for the heath of this wonderfull BABY... :up:

I love my new SETUP.....

Its a sweet cpu indeed, but however as M.Beier states, i think its the wrong section u posted in...

Ok, my new cooler (Thermalright Ultra 120 EXTREME) just arrived.

It's time to push my CPU but my target is to stay at low vcore and NOT PASS 1.385V.
I dont want to Degrade this baby, at least NOT yet....:D

First stop 4500 with ~1.3125 from BIOS...

CPU-Z Validation with same Vcore.... :T:

OK...
Now its Time to break 10" SPI... :D

For all those asking me about CPU Stepping is.... Q814A015... :D

What a nice chip :D.

How about the temp now, with the new cooler? :)
A MAX fsb test would be nice too, too bad you have that MB :).

nice cpu!
u need to do some tweaking and 9.5xxs wont be a problem :up:

what a crappy PL set on memory ;] other than that it's a nice chip

pointless pics with out temps !

Nice chip. A Max FSB test is a must for this one ;)

wow thats really low vcore. what pack date is that batch?

great scores and nice chip

I second that. Would like to find one.

That's a pretty nice one! 4.7 Ghz vali @ just 1.32V @ air is fantastic :cool:

Oh wow insane chip is 4.7GHz on 1.32V, Very nice :up:

on my E8500 need about 1.6xx for 4.7Ghz on water! :p:

damm! my new e8400 Q810A037 "just " do it 3,6 @ 1.20 vcore ( 1,18 with orthos) but is much better that the "old" Q746A500 that need more vcore for same speed.

Very nice chip...

Love to see what it can do with a bit more voltage.

Lovely!

Thank you all my friends....

I have still have temp issues but with chipset now...:rolleyes:

Still my system remains at full aircooling and chipset heatshinks are burning when raisinig Voltage to keep FSB higher than 520 Mhz..
This makes it Unstable, and the only way to continue raising CPU OC is to install more FANS near the chipset area.
I have near 27C room temp (Hot Weather here in Greece).
Watercooling will be ready probably next week, so i choose a safe OC for 24/7 which is 4400MHz and made some Bench for you.....

A quick stability test in Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit...

I think its ok for a full aircooled system for now... :D

sweet .... lucky s.o.b

I gotta have this same stepping... looks like I'm gonna have to phone around to a few shops... hope they're helpful and tell me the FPO/Batch code :D
Not that my Xeon E3110 is all that bad (1.34v 4250mhz stable) but I want more more more :D :D
I bet you guys know that feeling :D

Amaizing that CPU:eek:

I´m searching for one like yours.

Congrats

And hopping to see some results with a real cooler (TRUE extreme):clap:

Thank you GUYS,,,,

My Mobo is hard to follow my CPU due to FSB limits...
I know that an aircooled system without mods and on stock chipset cooling cant perform like F1, but i believe next week i'll be ready to raise FSB over 550 and get more juice of this sweet CPU i have...

SUB 10 SPI is Broken and i am Happy for this...

Take a look of a sort history..(Dont ask me for loosing DDR timmings because this was my limmits for now)...

1st TRY......
http://www.imageshack.gr/files/9efzi2vjnjfa8wuhry1f.jpg

2nd TRY.....
I was ready to hit my head on the wall....:D

3rd TRY and .....

Sub 10 sec SPI is history...:up:

Incredible CPU :up:

Now you just need to buy some LN2 and an ASUS Commando and we'll see 5.5+ :D

My MB hit FSB Wall at 525 - 530 MHZ and cant go further..:mad:
I know its Chipset temps problem.
In about 2 weeks from now i will get ready for watercooling.
Until then i ENJOY 4400 - 4500 MHz 24/7 use and i think its ok for now....

CYA... ;)

whats the price? :D

This mobo should be able to do 550-560 on air with default NB voltage without any problem. Probably you meet a CPU fsb wall.Lower the multi, dont let the NB to be hot from high voltage and give it a try again. If with one core enabled u manage to get more fsb is probably CPU fsb wall.

btw, Dag ... is that a "goodbye AMD" thread? :D

Arrggghhh...
Why isn't anyone posting or taking pictures of the wafer number?

wow, very nice results :O:O!!

Jeez, i need 1.7Vcore to get my Q6600 at 4Ghz....

that is so gool.

45nm 4ver :P

nice result

First of all my wafer NR is ***91... :D

2nd) I dont think its CPU FSB wall because i can ΒΟΟΤ at windows @ 550 but loose USB - Random BSD - etc....
3st) Chipset temps is way off and need Better cooling...

I believe i cant go further even with CPU Watercooling and the ONLY Way is to HELP chipset cooling...

I must give the CPU to a friend with CASCADE and make some WRs with this DIAMOND....

Now i am trying to gain MEM performance at 4500 MHZ...:up:

http://www.photo2box.com/images/3f57...ey0lgn3m6d.jpg

I hope in a few weeks to Return back to my roots ..... (AMD PHENOM)...

Damn good result , even under water my chip so higher result . As far as i understand 66c is your load temp @ 4400 mhz . At this frequency your cpu and voltage (1.29v) your cpu should eat 110w .
Assuming ambient temp 25c u get 41c deference , this is already 0.37c/w (witch about right for your current air cooler) , under water u should see a nice improvement about 40c (processor load) .

so sweet :shocked:
My e8500 needs 1.32v to do 4Ghz q746a583

What is your 24/7 clock?

4400 MHz is for 24/7 as the temp here is GREECE today was 30C...:D
For Benches i dont pass 4650...:up:

i hate u ;)

Very nice cpu!

HOLY COW i have that batch number!!! q814a350!. I'm still waiting on my motherboard and TRUE/scythe kaze fan to come but il definitely be posting up my ocing results :D

I wish you GOOD LUCK, and don't forget to post your OC results my friend.

814A was sooooo good for me.... :up:

I also have a Q814A2xx. Hope it will be half as good as Dagalidis's. :D

I have Vid 1.0375 and i think is the Nr 1 factor for a good OC. ;)

Disappointed by my Q814, needed 1.35v to boot, only SPi 1MB stable. Changed it with Q805 which is much better, 4200Mhz@1.38v load prime stable.
