[Team.AU]E8600@ 6.2GHz, EP45-EXTREME, 1xGigabyte GTX280, Corsairs Dominators 3D Test

[dinos22]

Hi guys

I just thought i'd check if this E8600 chip i have here is any good. Looks like it's not too bad heh......6.2GHz benchmarks were pretty easy...drooping to 1.88v under load with temps around -120C (i still haven't found the real load cold bug but it went as low as -131C so looks promising)

Test Configuration:
Gigabyte EP45 EXTREME Motherboard
(stock, no mods, needs a vcore mod bad because of droop heh)
Intel Core2 Duo E8600 Q820A599
2GB DDR2 PC10000 Corsair DOMINATORS
1xGigabyte GTX280 Graphics Card
620W Corsair PSU
Stock heatsink on NB
kingpin F1 Extreme Edition Solid copper CPU LN2 Pot
Big mamma 35L LN2 Dewar
160GB PATA
Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3

I haven't optimised the setup and RAM in particular as you can see...everything ran at auto settings....i've later tested PL10 which was fine but the setup was starting to go a bit shaky after 6 hours of messing around so i shut it down not to kill anything

btw the board has a nasty cold boot bug >> -76C eeek >> guess what > i can boot to 6Ghz even with that temp ROFL

- setup was in the shaky stage here....had to even drop the CPU clocks to get stability heh
poor result but i needed DDR3 and higher GPU clocks for some decent numbers....will try the EP45T-Extreme with AM3 i think
