**Official e8400/e8500 Retail OC Thread

[zlojack]

yeah I think there is something wrong with the q807 chips, they OC like crazy on lower then normal volts, but the temps on them seem to be a litle out of whack. I touched the bottom part of my heatsink and it was pretty cool, but the temps maxed around 70c for a 4ghz chip with only 1.24 volts is a little high.

Something tells me that this is a sensor issue then. If people are consistently putting low volts through the chip and remounting and making sure things are good in terms of their cooling and it's still giving readings that high, something's not right.

I mean,1.24v getting up to 70* seems pretty ridiculous when I used to pump 1.45v through my Q6600 on air and it only got up to 65-68*

[The Asgard]

Any news on how the Q809A are clocking?

Looking for a low voltage 4Ghz and have an option on one of these batches.

[joe.denice]

yeah, though I am trying to consider rma ing this and selling it and getting a quad?? or do you think I should just not worry to much about it??

I don't know...
You've got a kickass chip that does 4.0 on 1.27v!

That's pretty insane. I'd work on the temps first to a point where you know it's got to be a sensor problem or else a faulty chip. I just don't see a chip running that hot at those volts unless it's a really poor mount, or a really concave IHS or HS base or something.

yes , mine had the same behaviour . so I kept my q746 already nice overclocker and temps ok . need just litte more vcore for 4 ghz stable ( 1.29v) but I'm quite satisfied .

[joe.denice]

yeah, the TRUE 120 that I have is lapped.

And how's your IHS?

[joe.denice]

It seems fine, I dont notice anything wrong with it.

[dnottis]

This one does 500 x 8 @ 1.28v prime stable.

[soundx98]

^^^
looks like 1.336v from here

[Leeghoofd]

But that screenie is not 4ghz isn't it Sound...

[soundx98]

Jebus, I hope there isn't a test on this.
I'll fail for sure.

[Infa]

haha

[dnottis]

LOL...

Here is what the original owner was doing with it...Ive had 2 x E3110s and 3 E8400s. This one reads 10 deg higher all the time. Water temps the same. I keep getting to about 4.1Ghz and cannot push any higher though orthos stable. Dunno if its my board or just the chips crap out about 4.1Ghz.

[zlojack]

Get that thing up to 4500!!!

[jaredpace]

dnottis : needs more vcore... you could easily have that ss saying 500 x 9

[dnottis]

Well I can bench, however I cannot orthos over 460 ish FSB on this thing. I never pulled the NB and applied AS5 like I usually do. Gonna try that and see, for some reason I think the board is causing orthos to die over ~460 Mhz fsb. I've had issues with multiple chips once I get to ~ 4.2Ghz (E3110, E8400) even with relatively low volts. Water cooling just CPU at this point on PA120.3 and DTek Fuzion. Also, the 9800 GX2 is a power pulling beast but I've got a TT ToughPower 1000 Watt PSU.

I'm using an Asus p5k-e with bios 1012.

Any suggestions??

[zfactor]

any news on the recent newegg chips either 8400 or 8500 yet??

[makaka]

Here is mine
4 ghz = 1.224 v

While waiting for my water cooling . 500x8 is also 1.224 stable

[mrcape]

That's great Makaka what batch/fpo?

[Cur]

Just got a Q810 from Tigerdirect... anyone see / heard anything about this batch?

My motherboard (X48) won't be back until next Friday so all I can do is sit and wait.

Wow just realized I've been a member for over a year and never said "hi".

Errr, hi!

Q807 from clubit

Just got a Q810 yesterday too from Chiefvalue. Since I'm using a 965p-s3 right now on my e6400 @ 3.6, I'm thinking it's time to move to another board. I'm wondering if I should get the ds3r, or pay more for something else?

could you post your load temps at 1.432v 4500mhz please...

[Brahmzy]

Well, I think I'm experiencing the dreaded E8400 degradation/burn-in. I've had to up my VCore by .035 or so to maintain - and not quite sure if it's doing the trick yet.... BUMMER.
