My retail 45nm Wolfdales - E8200 + E8400

[Roger_D25]

I just spent some time googling for release dates here in the States with no luck, are the rumors of Jan 20th accurate guys?

Who cares about Orthos stable really? It's not like you get this CPU's to "play" Orthos or think about "hmm... i'm bored... let's start up some Orthos" anyway. Your CPU will never get stressed in real life like it does with Orthos so no point in going for lower clocks just to get it "orthos stable".

He has a point.
If Orthos heats up all four cores to 65C and they start crashing, but no other application heats them up higher than 55 C max, even multithreaded stuff, isn't that what you call stable?

I mean what if you're orthos stable and then someone releases another prime-like tester that can heat the chips 10C **HOTTER** than Orthos? (basically, does the exact same thing as 100% workload in Intel TAT?) Suddenly all those Orthos stable systems aren't stable anymore....and people will start panicking? Or will people get a reality check and know which settings and voltages are stable for what you need to do ?

People only use quad prime because if THAT is stable, then there is nothing under the sun (124% workload under prime, aka Intel TAT doesn't count) that realistically can bring down the system unless something is screwing up the PCIE lanes. Although some people have had quad prime stable but games not.....

SS phase

water 530MHz dual 32M Superpi stable on both E8500 CPUs i have

What was the max chip clock on phase? I am planning an 8500 on modded SS so I am curious. These are the first phase results I have seen. Everyone seems to do water or air or cascade or something, not so much phase results floating around.

Is 5.1+ GHz range possible SS (assuming good chip)?

5.1 EASY

5.3/5.4 with really nice chips

i just bought an E8400 that does 600MHz FSB 32M on air cooling
should be a nice LN2 chip

Already would have some BATCH considered good for this CPU, s. Which would be the BATCH that you this using?

and there we have it. Was getting halfway through my runs at 4450mhz and I kept throwing vcore at it but it wouldnt complete. Looks like more of a thermal limit. With water im sure 4.5Ghz runs will be attainable.

Motherboard : DFI P35 LP
Cooling : TRUE + Sanyo Denki
Ambients : 25 degrees

same batch as eva2000's chips

I love 45nm....



My 24h Setting....




But i think X38 is grap, will try it@P35

my first test are wrong! I had lot of problems with stability ... i though it was cpus ... but cause of my problem is broken memory module ... my E8000 are better clockers, then is on first page ...

So, how good do they clock really?

[DerekT]

Its just more of the same to be honest, if it is what I suspect (average of 3.6~3.8) that will re-affirm my decision to wait for Nehelm

I agree and extend the view to purchase the second iteration of Nehalem.

updating, will post tomorrow

[lazy]

guess we cant make judgements just yet

[g1raffe]

No surprise it wasn't your CPU.. somethings wrong if you cant get 4ghz stable..

[eva2000]

same batch as eva2000's chips

Q740A439

typo there it's Q740A493T

[Origin_Unknown]

whats different between the e8400 and the e8500 other than 116mhz? i dont see the justification of and extra £50 :\

9.5 multiplier instead of "only" 9 lol
Probably better overclockability, at least I hope so
Doesn't mean the e8400 should clock badly, I'm just hoping that if I finally pick up one of those e8500's it'll clock at least 4.4ghz

lol... released date is the 21st over here

[CERO]

Still nowhere to be found here in The Netherlands... just great
Where do you guys get them?
Preferably shops that ship internationally... no make that worldwide LOL

I would take a look at our close neighbour Germany, like the Q6600 g0, popped way earlier up then in the Netherlands( 4 weeks later.....), some etailers already sold them last week, but unfortunately they are already sold out.

[jas420221]

So..........where is the update?

[aoch88]

Hmm, I've seen most E8400 getting Super PI screenshots but well, that doesn't mean it's stable.

Looks like both your E8200 and E8400 aren't the good ones?

[trans am]

Where did OBR run off to? I wanna see these results with his "working" ram.

[ScottFern]

so this chip isn't supposed to be available retail in the us til next week. happy hunting & enjoy:

^^ Not sure if its just me, but all those links are dead Though I did a search at Buy.com and they do in fact have E8x00s in stock

Ill be waiting for the E8400 to hit newegg, clubit, tigerdirect and similar sites before I buy though

No results yet...?
