Retail E8600 Overclock, Temps, Settings Thread

Ok fellas, they're here!!

S-SPEC: SLB9L
FPO/BATCH Q820A604
Pack Date: 07/24/08

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.

I used Real Temp. Min Vid.:1.100, Max Vid.: 1.250

every e8600 start out with E0 stepping by default right?

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

For those who got it, please post your batch, cooling & temps and whether it can run +1.5v without BSODing or getting crazy hot. Thanks :).

to the thrread starter!
How about batch code + pack dates?

would make this thread alot more useful than just a bunch of screen shots if we can place a face 'stepping/batch' to the sshots

thanks also location and store purchased?

Looking good... stability test will come soon.

Asus Rampage Formula, bios 0407
E8600, Q820A604
2x2GB G.Skill PC2-8500

I think my memory is fully stretched at DDR2 1150.

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.

I just ordered my E8600 from shopblt.com. They have plenty in stock at $290 but all that aren't sold today will go to one customer tomorrow so if you are interested go for it.

So what's up, any other results? I want to see some more batches.

Venom-Crusher, that's just freaking awesome! :eek:

Can you discribe what your watercooling consists?

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.

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.
