Retail E8600 Overclock, Temps, Settings Thread

[genec57]

Are there any stuck sensors or weird temps ? Anyone noticed something in particular... if these do 4.5 at the same volts as some E8400's do 4ghz I might go for one...( so 1.35 max )

Volts are quite low so far - only about 1.3 for 4.5ghz but temps are a bit nuts at high sixties to about 70 - kind of nervous territory for me. this is with water cooling.

With all the different temp readings from the different monitors being an issue lately, i wonder if these new chips are being read wrong...........Maybe unclewebb knows.

E8600 arrived about three hours ago. OCCT stable 4400 vCore of 1.26875. Presently testing 4500 with vCore of 1.3000.
This chip is a bit toasty - Running load temp at 4400 and 1.3 of mid sixties (Real Temp).
this chip is Q820R406 with vid of 1.1625

Crap...guess I won't be doing 4.5ghz on air if you are hitting that on water...
Well, 4.4ghz is cool - 4.3ghz at the worst. My chip comes in a day or 2.

[Nostromo]

Dont think this is going to scale well. minimum volts needed under droop to do 3.6

My E8600 coming wednesday
What is the FSB Termination (VTT) voltage for let's say overclock between 4.2 Ghz to 4.5 Ghz????

[Rattle]

these cpus look insane, ordered from newegg, could be here thursday if it ships from NJ, free 3 day shipping.

[zsamz_]

Meh, I prefer a quaddie to a dual core anyday, regardless of clock.

i couldnt live bein below 4.0ghz
even @ 4.0 24/7 i not happy

[Rattle]

same here i am looking for 4400+, my e8500 does 4.2 24/7

Meh. Having problems with Core Temp and Real Temp getting a reading on my e8600 in my DFI Blood Iron (back-up mobo to my Biostar P45 - don't ask ) however the DFI system monitor is getting a reading. Its way lower than the bios reading, but at least it gives me a reference point and I can see see the jump in temps as I try to put a load on it. To start I wanted to see if at what point my Swiftech 220 Compact Kit would be unable to handle the jump in heat, to get a general idea of where this CPU would land. Set my ram to loose SPD timings and my multi to 10. I guess my cooling is good enough to just touch 5GHZ but not stable for more than a screenshot.



If I had to take a guess, I'd say this Q820A597 on water is probably good for 4.5ghz on water for a 24/7 rig. I'll be testing more as soon as I find out whats going on with my Biostar Tpower P45 mobo.

Amazing CPU Chri$ch, what stepping?

[Chri$ch]

you mean the batch? Q822A435

[Zeus]

Yeah, that's what i meant, stepping is a legacy from the AMD era.

Can you tell me what your watercooling consists and what was your ambient temp?

I can't wait to get me one of these babies.

[gundamit]

Jebus Chri$ch, you know how to kick a guy when he's down. Seriously nice CPU you have there.

[Chri$ch]

@ Zeus

EK Supreme and Mora 2 Core + 9 Fans.. Water @ ~28°C

Another Q822A435 - VID = 1.2000

First test on Air (HR-01 Plus + 1000rpm - VTT 1.26V - NB 1.48V):



Will look for 24/7 4.5GHz+ primestable settings a little later..

Wow man, that is killer on air. Hope mine comin' in tomorrow can do that! Nice VID. Sheesh.

[Zeus]

Great CPU Rabor, may i ask you where'd you get it from?

And what batch# please?

[Chri$ch]

@ zeus

read his post for the batch

[gundamit]

So maybe 4.5ghz a good 24/7 setting? Orthos seems to have "unstuck" the temp readings for both Core Temp and Real Temp.

[Zeus]

@ zeus

read his post for the batch

So, Q822A435 is the one to search for then.

I would like to hear from some of you regarding temps with this chip. At 450*10 with a vCore of 1.35 I am getting a temp reading from Real Temp in the eighties yet when I touch my water block it is cool to the touch.
I have remounted my block several times with no changes. I am at the point of thinking that the sensors in this chip are really screwy .
At 440*10 and a stable OCCT vCore of 1.26875 I get a max real temp of 63c which is still way too high, imo, for that vCore.
I would appreciate hearing some other results.

[PytonOrm]

holy crap These E8600 are crazy !! i order one today looking for 4500-4600mhz stable

cpuz validation

anyone having issues with 1.46v and e8600's and saving and submiting cpuz files to the orb thingy?

Only thing I can think of is that the low vid.=high temp, a noticeable characteristic of core 2 duo cpus, is still in effect with these chips. My 2.500v vid. E8600 @ 4.4Ghz (8x550) is 23C idle, and 46 load with a vcore of 1.392 load. I'm on water in my sig.
