amazing chip massman, congrats
nice to see some wolfdale on ln2 clocking to -140C, all 8400s what we've tested has coldbug problems around -80C...

Nice chip massman!

Next try you get the 7,xxx Seconds!

We did quite some effort, but never reached 7s . With some better ram or tweaked OS, we would have made it.

Impressive E8500 there Pieter!

I wish I could get one too

[over@locker886]

Nice work, congrats! But I recommend high freq CL4 rams.

Alternate sold you an ES cpu??

Great speeds on that cpu but at 5750 you should get sub 8 seconds.

Keep pushing man!

[blackdem0n]

[M.Beier]

Awesome chip Pieter,
I wernt aware that you posses a tube, which kind is it?

I'll catch you in the morning =)
Btw... Im pretty sure lower timings will benefit (decreasing freq if nessercary)
Also, raising FSB and lowern multi - if possible...

Keep on benching my friend

Alternate hooked me up with an ES, they didn't sell it to me .

Have you Try 4-4-4 on the Mem @ 600?
with 2,7 this must be possible aber than you can reach sub 8
