I'll post some screenshots from the bios settings later on.
GTL's at 66/66/67

Batch : Q740A621, tray version.

damn you jupiler :P

[Mykou]

Small update from my E8200.
4200 at 1.296V, not bad at all, I'd say.

very nice Jupiler

[soundx98]

Just awesome Jupiler!

oniL, that's a very sweet result at such low voltage.
What's the vCore set to in the BIOS?

thx
1,25V great vdrop

[icywater]

thx
1,25V great vdrop

do a drool mod

[Mykou]

wanna switch ?

mine is 0.1v

[mrcape]

Nice work!

That's the type of chip I like to see. I had a lot of luck running super low v with 8x and 8.5x and fsb 500. The trick was to keep every voltage setting low and in my case the GTL settings to in the 59 - 61 range.

What were your settings Onil?

[oniL]

All settings on the motherboard are lower voltage

[sofarfrome]

Nice...where did you buy that and what is the batch#?

[Mykou]

All settings on the motherboard are lower voltage

don't tell me it is another Q740xxxx....

onil : porko dio che bell processore, quando non sei a cassa e laschi le porte aperte :P







445x9 1.3375V BIOS.

[X4er0]

X4er0 where did youy get the 8500 ?

Thx

Netherlands, lot of stores have 20+ stock

[oniL]

onil : porko dio che bell processore, quando non sei a cassa e laschi le porte aperte :P

ok quando esco da casa ti faccio un fischio

[TEDY]

d'acordo :P

[HellasVagabond]

Well nothing Xtreme like some of you guys but it will do.
Under load and with many many programs running along and without my external 12' fan pushing air in the tower the core temp reached 60degrees.
I even managed to hit 4302MHz but i had to push Vcore further and i just couldnt see it reach 64degrees..Was too much for only 297MHz gain.

Oh VCore is 1.375v and CPU PLL 1.58v.

If someone here get's a new e8400 with the batch: Q802A492, deliver it back, sell it, or throw it to the trash. It runs on defualt voltage on 3.6ghz which sounds good, but on 4.0ghz it need 1.43V or more (haven' testet it over 8 hours), but it failed under that. So beware! Almost all here on this thread seems lucky with their e8400, but I have never been. First a Q748A that needed 1.43V in bios to get stable and now this ****
Why it always have to be me

wow how did you get the voltages so low? did the type of cooling play a big role or was it just a good batch?

[AndyM]

Got my new Q750A205 8400 running today and looks like this might be a nice baseline at this point. I'm gonna try to tighten up the memory and see how much faster it will go while staying under Intel's 1.45 vcore max.
