Dang good work. Kinda disappointing that the e8400 does not seem to have much of a realistic clock advantage compared to the 45nm quads though. Would you mind telling us what you've learned about the GTL settings?

And what your GTL settings are?

My GTL's are 95/94/96 @ 1.31v VTT. As far as I can tell, they starting point seems similar to what anandtech state in their GTL tables. The other thing I have noticed is that my Yorkie is FAR more sensitive to GTL's than my Q6600 - it makes the deference between it actually getting into windows or not LOL!

I was actually going to ask a quesiton myself regarding GTL's and the amount of difference they make. Now im pushing the chip further (4.2ghz as I said) it seeming to require alot more voltage, and I'm not sure if its GTL's or just doesnt have enough vcore.

At 1.32v (same as 4ghz) it boots into windows, will run everest benchies, and superpi, but fails prime instantly. I played with the GTL's for a couple hours the other nite, after upping the VTT to 1.4v to account for the extra FSB. Didnt make a huge amount of difference. So I upped the vcore.

At each step Ive played with the GTL's (all around 100 somewhere) but doesnt seem to be playing ball. Makes the difference between failing instantly and up to 15mins stable, but nothing more.

Anyhow, vcore is now @ 1.39v which is a fair old jump from 1.32v for 4ghz, and im just wondering - will GTL's really make the difference between prime failing with in a few mins & being 100% stable? Have I been a bit impatient? The last thing I want to do is just plough this chip full of voltage unneccessarily, but at the same time, im concious I may have hit a voltage wall?

Great work Mike, all that time really pays off! Is Smartguardian reading your actual VCORE accurately at 1.32v, if so even more impressive! Last but not least, at those settings can you quickly run Everest Ultimate's Memory benchmark and post your latency and read results?

Roger - Yes, thats reading it correctly. 1.32v vcore. As for everest, ive run it at 4.2ghz for a m8 of mine asking the exact same questions. Therefore mem is running at marginly over 1000mhz @ the same settings -



Remember I'm on Vista X64, so XP may be a little faster too
