Retail E8600 Overclock, Temps, Settings Thread

Ok fellas, they're here!!

Mine just came in about half an hour ago. More later....

That's a lot of volts for 4500 spi. I thought these were supposed to be stable for 4500mhz 24/7 at around 1.33v or so. Yours has an unusually high VID too... that makes it a cool chip to run though.

Test some OCCT / prime when you have the time.

Yeah, you're right about the vid. I haven't done any thorough testing yet so I may be overvolting the vcore. It did run p95 blend for a few minutes before I stopped it.

Check the VID with Coretemp 0.99 please. I think it's more accurate. For my chip it was anyway.

Got my E8600 with batch Q820A602 but i dont have a supported bios yet so i got temp reading temps. But on friday i will recieve my new Rampage Extreme so with that i going to test some overclock. Just tried 400x10 with 1.20 vcore. Seems that i got a lower VID.

that version of coretemp is not accurate. Use coretemp .99.1

Q820a405 seems good. VID=1.200

I only did quick checks on air with 1m, but it seems to love low v. Could boot and run 1m @ 4ghz with 1.15v, probably less but I was looking to go up. Temps were normal & scaled well and together exactly. No problems at all with max v on air. I went up to maybe 1.56v where I decided to wait for cold and experienced no problems whatsoever.

Cold coming soon, like tomorrow lol.

Wow.
Can you guys do some dual prime/orthos stability testing with say, 1.36v or less for those of us planning to aircool to get an idea what to expect? Thanks.
08-07-2008, 10:51 AM

I will be testing 2 more in the coming days and once I pick the one for 24/7 style use I will do stability tests.

Would you rather see highest stable clock at a given voltage or lowest voltage to be stable at a given clock? Or highest clock below a certain temp?

I don't use water, only air or LN, but this cpu and it's ranges seem perfectly suited for water cooling.

Be great to see highest stable @ 1.34-1.35v - that seems to be the upper limit for realtemp temps 65c or less. Thanks!:cool:

Havnt primed it cant see the point as I play games, ran 3Dmarks 06 in a 20x loop then played Age of Conan for 3 hours on 1280X1600ress 4X AA and no crashes, temps idle for me are 42 deg per core, 48 to 51 underload and watercooled.

I will push it more once I get my Rampage Extreme RMA'd this clock is on my Maximus.

No, everything is being recorded correctly... when people say C0 or C1, they're referring to the revision in CPU-z.

Mine runs very hot, 47c idle, default 1.16v.

My e6850 ran at 32 idle with 1.42v. Its taking 1.3v to get to a stable 4250ghz but idle is 64c and load temps are 88c+! The most unfortunate part tho is when I got high temps, instead of returning it, I lapped it. It reduced temps 3c but of course killed the warranty.

Batch Q820R405

Btw, after lapping, I have a nickel-sized copper spot in the middle, so concave c2d's perhaps are a thing of the past.

I have a Q820A405 that runs kinda hot at idle, but not that bad. Load temps max = 61c at 4.5ghz. It also Orthos blend Pr 9 stable 2 hrs at 4.5ghz with only 1.33vcore.

Maybe you've got a bad mount, really hot ambients, bad cooler or something. Either that or it's just not a great one. But I figured I'd tell you mine of the same batch is doing great.

Volts are quite low so far - only about 1.3 for 4.5ghz but temps are a bit nuts at high sixties to about 70 - kind of nervous territory for me. this is with water cooling:(.

Meh. Having problems with Core Temp and Real Temp getting a reading on my e8600 in my DFI Blood Iron (back-up mobo to my Biostar P45 - don't ask :rolleyes:) however the DFI system monitor is getting a reading. Its way lower than the bios reading, but at least it gives me a reference point and I can see see the jump in temps as I try to put a load on it. To start I wanted to see if at what point my Swiftech 220 Compact Kit would be unable to handle the jump in heat, to get a general idea of where this CPU would land. Set my ram to loose SPD timings and my multi to 10. I guess my cooling is good enough to just touch 5GHZ but not stable for more than a screenshot.

http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/1...5ghzmi5.th.jpg

If I had to take a guess, I'd say this Q820A597 on water is probably good for 4.5ghz on water for a 24/7 rig. I'll be testing more as soon as I find out whats going on with my Biostar Tpower P45 mobo. :confused:

Yeah, that's what i meant, stepping is a legacy from the AMD era. ;)

Can you tell me what your watercooling consists and what was your ambient temp?

I can't wait to get me one of these babies.

Another Q822A435 - VID = 1.2000 :toast:

First test on Air (HR-01 Plus + 1000rpm - VTT 1.26V - NB 1.48V):

Will look for 24/7 4.5GHz+ primestable settings a little later..

24/7 Stable?

So maybe 4.5ghz a good 24/7 setting? Orthos seems to have "unstuck" the temp readings for both Core Temp and Real Temp. :confused:

So, Q822A435 is the one to search for then.

I would like to hear from some of you regarding temps with this chip. At 450*10 with a vCore of 1.35 I am getting a temp reading from Real Temp in the eighties yet when I touch my water block it is cool to the touch.
I have remounted my block several times with no changes. I am at the point of thinking that the sensors in this chip are really screwy .
At 440*10 and a stable OCCT vCore of 1.26875 I get a max real temp of 63c which is still way too high, imo, for that vCore.
I would appreciate hearing some other results.

Only thing I can think of is that the low vid.=high temp, a noticeable characteristic of core 2 duo cpus, is still in effect with these chips. My 2.500v vid. E8600 @ 4.4Ghz (8x550) is 23C idle, and 46 load with a vcore of 1.392 load. I'm on water in my sig.
