LOL...tell me,ur still using e6850 1.3v or X6800 1.4 running 3.6Gmhz clcok,
newer E8500 just needs default vid,1.120v and stable prime 3.6Gmhz
i love that low temperature. really impressived of intel's 45nm


TESTRIG,
AMBIENT TEMP,23°C
INTEL E8500 45NM, 3.16G OC 3.6G, L2 6MB SHARED,
TUNIQ TOWER 120
ASUS MAXIUMUS EXTREME .X38
ADATA DDR3 1900 1GBX2
NVIDIA QUADDRO FX330
HIGH POWER 1000W,
PRIME LOADED,FULL SYSTEM 172W
(measured by Seasonic Power Angel)

E8500 oc 3600mhz 1.12v Priming, loaded 37°C



1.256v 4Gmhz Prime,loaded only 43°C
very curious what AMD can do at 1.256V, for e6850 average should be 3.3 to 3.4Gmhz.



Pass priming sp2004,other testings will be very easy at this clock.








no problem with 500fsb and ddr3-2000


a monster chip for aircooling? 1.40v overclock 4.5Gmhz and passed SUPER PI 32M
the idle temp just 5 to 12°c higher than ambient temp.
