Wolfdale E0 stepping, new OC king?

[drjunk]

What speed can be expected with one of these cpu's undervolted to 1.0v?

I would say about 3.4<->3,6 ghz

I all of a sudden feel like my 8400 is broken and should be replaced.

That makes 2 of us

+1

+2.

I would be interested to see more results of these chips or stepping at around 1.35~1.4v.

Cooling doesnt mtter, vCore kills the chips.

nah.. my E8500 survived fom 2.0v benching with a cascade... its still alive and well

[kiwi]

Try 2V pll and see how long it will live

[STaRGaZeR]

Must...resist...until...Nehalem...

Willing to try again?

[lolhalol]

lolhalol,
from where you getting E8600.I am in P.J.

can get at lowyat lah

[RPGWiZaRD]

Don't know if it's been posted

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu...duo-e8600.html

xbitlabs OC results:

3.9GHz default 1.2v
4.45GHz 1.4v
4.57GHz 1.5v

Stable air results.

I think that was the first article posted. :S

What about this thing's price? About $300? I would sell my E8400 and get one if it were $200, but I don't feel like wasting money for an extra 150MHz.

[mrcape]

It's the 10x multi that's sweet. And I think it will be $266 retail after the dust settles.

just for reassurance, this new stepping is for ALL wolfdales and not exclusively for the new e8600 right?

As far as we all know, it is...

wooohoo Q9650 E0 thats the money processor

[Hornet331]

Q9650 is yorkfield.

anyways i think tehy also get a new stepping, but not E0.

Actually QX9650 E0 do exist ...

hmm yet that you mendtioned it, there are also G0 dualcores, well i think i still had the P-D steppings in mind, where there where allways different steppings.

[Aberration]

Since the quads are just 2 duals, I would think that eventually the stepping would follow.

Nehalem is nice and all... but what's wrong with AWESOME clocking Wolfdales?

Nothing wrong with Wolfdale but it doesn't ship with IMC, better or upgraded Platforms and etc......

[STaRGaZeR]

Nothing at all, I want one, but I prefer to wait until September-October and get a Nehalem combo: CPU+mobo+DDR3. A 4GHz Wolfdale is already very good

[NapalmV5]

this promises better yorky quads

[oohms]

Im waiting for the E0 E7300

[disruptfam]

i've been out of the loop with the newer cpu's

whats max Volts and max temps for this chip (safe)

[Bo_Fox]

Cooling doesnt mtter, vCore kills the chips.

I had a different experience... Back then with P3's and Athlon XP's, sometimes when I forgot to put on the heatsink, the CPU would *fry*. I'd smell the fried silicon--it actually had burn marks on it.
After 10 years of pushing the voltage to the max, I have yet to see a CPU die due to overvoltage. Been running some chips at an insane 0.3-0.4 extra volts for like 2 years or so. Should I let you do the math, or should I do it myself?
