It's been a while since ive overclocked or anything, but i got a new EVGA 780i mobo and a e8400 and i decided to give it a shot.
Batch #: Q747A377 Pack Date: 02/05/08
I'm too embarrassed to post pictures, mines only running at a paltry 3600Mhz(400x9). I think it could probably do better, but I'm not quite ready to do vdroop yet. My voltages are as follows according to BIOS
core 1.4125
FSB 1.3
Memory: 2.3
nForce SPP: 1.4
nForce MCP: 1.55
HT nForce SPP <-> MCP: 1.25V
Another interesting problem is that the ram isnt stable past 1000Mhz, even though its rated for 1066 and my old 680i board boasted 1200Mhz stable.
Temps are around 40C according to CoreTemp and bios, so im just curious as to why it wont boot any faster. More voltage? Bad Chip? Need vdroop?
Any ideas would be appreciated, I want to make sure this chip isnt a dud before i spend all the effort and take the risks involved with adding on my SS phase unit. Thanks in advance!
