POST YOUR E6850 with OC PERFORMANCE

[Peepaw]

where did you order from?



where did you order from?

Allstarshop.com. From me ordering on the net, till it was logged onto the fedex truck, less than two hours.

It's my first time dealing with them but I'm impressed.

This is proof of what getting carried away means. Many of us upgraded to this new CPU thinking it would make a difference but it really was not worth it especiall for users like me that already had an E6600 @ 3.6Ghz 450FSB 1066 strap. I am now running 4Ghz @ 1333 strap and really it is just bragging rigths. Ofc Orthos does not run more than 2-3 hours stable but games play fine which is the main use of this PC.

I will probably sell my older CPU or this one since it was ultimately a waste to get it now. Instead I bougth myself new a pair of new KEF IQ9 speakers a a 300Watt RMS 12" KEF SUBWOOFER (piano Black) and a new KEF IQ6 CENTRAL Speaker to ease the dissapointment and stop myself from buying a not needed Q6850 with a new motherboard.

My 2 cents (Euro ones)

I agree 100%, I have a E6600 L630F that was running 3825 stable folding 24/7 with 1.55 volts..

My E6850 L722A. Stable at 4000mhz but thats all. Takes pretty high voltage to achieve stability. 1.675 in bios, 1.63 in windows, 1.61 loaded. First screen shot was at 1.65 in bios but failed orthos after a couple of hours. Had to up voltage to 1.675 for 8 hour orthos stability. Temps are under 60c loaded even at 1.675v.
Cooling with water. Since this CPU was so inexpensive, I am going to run at these voltages 24-7, since temps are reasonable.

I picked up a L723A today. So far it's much better than my L722A. Priming now at 4103mhz with 1.625v. My L722A above took 1.675 for 4000mhz. Tested the L723A at 4000 with 1.6v for an hour with no issues. Testing in progress, I will post more results when finished.

Edit: 4103 @1.625v failed orthos after an hour. Now back to 4000 @ 1.575 bios. 1.54 windows, 1.50 after droop. Coretemp 25c Idle, 50c loaded. After 3 x6800's. 10-12 E6600's, Looks like my 24/7 4gz goal may come true.

[YoupY]

Don't rembember the batch anymore. I'll check when I replace the Thermalright 120 Exreme for the cascade evap.

at 1.7 V (bios) I got temps around 45 C (coretemp) + 15 = 60 C

[nugzo]

wow 1.7v on air is definitely "Extreme" Way to go!

[NKD]

Batch Number L722A215 on the box. and here is my oc so far.

in the pic it says 25mins but has been running for an hour fine so far.



will push it more as the time goes on.

Have got a L723a i get 4ghz from 1.5vcore stable!

[nugzo]

Ok it keeps getting better and better with this 723A as far as voltage is concerned. I started at 1.6 just because my L722A took 1.675 for 4ghz stability. I'm now down to 1.525 (1.46v Windows Loaded) for my most recent tests. I've only been running prime for an hour, but i also ran 2 loops of 3dmark 06 while small fft was running. My max temps loaded are 53c with coretemp, 50c everest, and thats with a bunch of air still in the loop. After another hour i'll try 1.5v in bios. I'm excited about so little voltage for 4ghz. Aren't you? lol Here's a SS

[NKD]

here is a new oc, so far been running for 30mins,
i will let this go through one loop of prime95, and than try more overclock, dont know how stable it is right now.

[bro20000]

Its sound a good chip! With my L723a running a 3ghz i use only 1.125v and 1.275v for 3.6 thats has far has have been today! Memory died last nite it was value ram and it was limiting my overclock went out this morning and bought some Cellshock D9GMH's! It big difference!

[NKD]

so far looking good, will let it run for few hours.

1.35v loaded.

[bro20000]

You should easy get it stable with them volts!

[NKD]

3.8 stable so far.

my memory is rated at 800mhz, and it only goes up to 880 on this board, on the evga 680i, it did 980 easily in ulinked mode, but its a different situation on p35. i am going to trade my 4gb a-data with 2gb corsair dominator with this one guy, and hopefully hit 4.0 stable.

cooling ?

[NKD]

i am using water cooling with d-tek fusion waterblock.

its also stated in my sig, i dont believe core temp is reading the G0 stepping right but who knows, because its idles at 18-20c which is like TEC temps, however the IHS is really improved from the old e6400 i had in one of the systems.

i have to say that those temps and even mine are not right, i mean i cant idle at 19c, no matter if i am using water and at 3.8ghz, we will have to wait for coretemp to support g0 stepping.

[NKD]

ok here is a screenshot showing the thermal specs of e6850, its 72c, and x6800 is rated at 60c, these are case temps not the core temps, so G0's can handle way more heat than b2's. that makes me sure that we should be adding atleast 10c-15 to our temps.

[Grinch]

so far looking good, will let it run for few hours.

1.35v loaded.

I see you are running prime 95 is that with small FFT's or what?

[NKD]

I see you are running prime 95 is that with small FFT's or what?

yes its with small fft's.

i am using prime because orthos only tests one instruction with 8k FFT, and prime really tortures it, it starts at 8k, and as the time goes on, it feeds more data through the l2 cache and stresses it more the orthos, i believe its up to 48k in prime.

i can get it stable with orthos with lower voltages but with prime it takes a little more voltage to get it really stable, i am willing to go up to 1.6v on water and thats it, i might settle at 3.9 as i am testing that right now.

torturing at 3.9 my temps have settled at 53c, and even if i add 15c to that its 68c at 3.9, and intels thermal temps for the G0 e6850 is 72c, and i believe thats the case temp and not even core temp, thats why everyone is able to clock these so high, because it can run at very high temps.

[Grinch]

wow...good chip man...*-)

[NKD]

here is 3.9, 1.54v loaded, core temp 50c i will add 15 to just say its 65c, not sure. still under thermal specs of intel of 72 case temp. if its stable for one loop of prime 95, i will try to max it out at this voltage

[NKD]

this is what i had to set up my vcore as i overlocked

3.6-1.4v in bios
3.8-1.5v in bios
3.9-1.6v in bios, i just set it to 1.6, and if its stable i will try to get more out of it but i certainly cant do 4.0ghz at 1.6.

i believe it has nothing to do with batches, its all on ur chip, someone will get one of the best chips that requires less voltage even at high clocks. those chips are rare, but as i increase clock speed, it will overlock like a mad dog if u put it on steroids and give it the juice it wants, if these temps are indeed real on G0, i will pust it more, i am trying to ad 15c to my current core temps. at 3.9 with rightmark utility it says my core temp is at 50. so i am adding 15c to that and it becomes 65c which makes lot of sense. and that is still under intel's thermal spec of 72c tcase temp, which as far as i know is the max cpu temp, and core temp probably in the 80'ss

3.8ghz @ 1.5vcore =]

[NKD]

here are my oc results so far. vcore under load 1.54v, so far 2+ hours orthos stable and still going. Temps 47c right mark and 50c core temp. arctic silver 5 seems to have burned in.

i believe we should all be adding 15c to our temps, because my mobo reports cpu temps higher than core temp or rightmark utility, but if i add 15c it ends up being 62c, and it makes perfect sense with those temps. which is about 7c higher than what mobo is reporting, this was the case with my previous core 2 duo, the cpu temps was about 5-7c lower than core temp.

i say this because at stock speeds 3.0ghz core temp was reporting temps at 10c per core. that is no way real, even though i could brag about it, its just unreal, because those are the temps with freezone or tec water blocks. my embient is round 17c
