The Wolfdale Vtt ( FSB Termination ) game.Place your bet!

[BenchZowner]

The PC has been folding since yesterday and it's running fine.

I'm not setting up another rig as well, the second rig will be running brutally or as some people say deadly voltages.
The setup:

ThermalRight Ultra-120 + Antec TriCool Fan @ Low
Asus Striker II Extreme
Core 2 Duo E8500 Q806A @ 4.4GHz @ 1.6V
2GB DDR3 @ DDR3-1852 8-7-6-21
GeForce GTX 280

CPU Voltage ( Vcore ) = 1.6V
FSB Termination Voltage ( Vtt ) = 2.0V
PLL Voltage ( Vpll ) = 2.8V

Same applications... F@H and gaming 24/7.

This one should die easily as some of you say right ?

[Alex-Ro]

I'm damn sure that it won't suffer from anything...

[CryptiK]

CPU Voltage ( Vcore ) = 1.6V
FSB Termination Voltage ( Vtt ) = 2.0V
PLL Voltage ( Vpll ) = 2.8V

lol. It shouldn't last too long one would assume. But then again it may prove to be quite resilient. This will be an interesting experiment

[Ace-a-Rue]

i am anxiously awaiting your results

[cadaveca]

I'd love to see high vCore + high Freq + high temps. 1.5vCore and 4.5+GHz under air and 100% load 24/7. Or then just stock w/o fan @ +90C 24/7. People say temps kill, I don't believe them. :p

THis WILL kill a 45nm cpu if on stock cooling. I noticed degredation on E8500 after about 6 hours...cpu now runs 16c higher than before, using prime95 smallFFT.

it clocks just as well under cold though...but is no longer stable @ 4.5 under stock cooler, due to heat.


While under load cpu diode temp read 102c. No throttling, either.


The key to death is HIGH TEMPS(90c+) plus HIGH V-CORE/VFSB.

[Ace-a-Rue]

well, we will see what bill comes up with using air cooling...this will be very interesting to see the results.

[cadaveca]

Yeah, I'm very interested.

I'd also like to see cpus from same batch, same vid, approx same max clocks on different boards..I truly beleive that it's the boards doing the damage, and some will kill cpus, some won't, given same ovlts.

Can't you put up a webcam bill to see where the smoke first comes from... I bet the Striker will give in first...

You madman

[NBF]

That's a Xtreme Pool

Very interesting

Looking forward to see your findings!

You madman

that is a realy nice idea.......you can broadcast from a webcam and we can do a bet of when the CPU its going to die........



Here is my "OC":

I wast testing 475MHZ FSB and mult 7.5......Im going to try to put the mult 8 to get 4Ghz........
Hope it work....

[railmeat]

yes man........be my guest

use the sig

ON TOPIC: My E8400 is a dog ¬¬ Im using 3.8GHZ with 1.425V ¬¬ And i thing is not stable.....I get ramdoms reboots.....

I don´t think that the problem is the mobo (maximus formula).....over 440MHZ FSB he get creazy.......

random reboots i thought meant temps,gets way to hot,shuts down,cools down,then cycles again.intel has a thermal shutdown switch inside of there 45nm chips i thought when they reach there max temps and shut down??try and relax your ram the best you can (ddr800-900)etc and see if it still happens to rule out ram vs quick cpu heat spurts.i dunno,trying here..




lol a clint eastwood DEATH POOL of cpu chips...lol?? ahh the result of some guys when there bored,gotta <3 it.

Well my friend.......I was testing the Maximus formula and i get 475MHZ FSB stable for now...
But the multi is 7.5......so my problem is the CPU, not the mobo.
Over 3.8GHZ he star to "eat" more and more volt.
Mother fu..$/·"$·/ jajaja.
But im going to try the multi 8 and 500MHZ FSB to get 4Ghz.

OFF TOPIC: I don´t see my quote on your sig

[4Qman]

benchZowner i love to see your posts as they always have some creativity about them

i'm very interested with your findings bro.

[bikeman]

Voted for a month, based on my experience with my e8400.
I thought that only vPLL where fatal to this CPU´s, so i never haved any concerns about vfsb, so i guess that i have exagereted a bit on this one...anyway no problems at all.

[BenchZowner]

The first rig is still up and running.
The second rig is also up and running.
However, I did kill a E8400 some minutes ago.
I guess 5V VTT and 3.3Vpll ain't something your CPU would appreciate receiving
Just made it to the windows loading bars... and then... blue screen and CPU init FTW
Time for a QX9650 to step into my... crazy Vfsb & Vpll testing 3rd rig

[dark2099]

Do you have tray's of these chips, or what, I can understand your goal, but the means to it are either insane or being backed by a company, either way I am going to keep up with this thread.

[BenchZowner]

I have a numerous amount of... cr*ppy wolfdales & yorkfields ( I mean not so good overclockers on liquid nitrogen ) that I can play with.
Some of them are samples without warranty and stuff, and some have been bought by me.
And yes, I am insane by all means

[Cy4n1d3]

Sick. Simply sick. Voted a month though ;P

[slim142]

Wait, I have 1.30VTT on my S2E and it gives out 1.34 on idle and 1.33 on load. Also PLL is +0.02 to what is set on BIOS (1.56PLL in BIOS=1.58 real). vCore, I cant even describe this, 1.32500 in BIOS=1.39 in windows (load and idle).

So Im guessing you are giving those poor CPUs more than what you wrote...

I vote 1 month, the Striker is ready for insane voltages so I wont be surprise if the Striker doesnt die

[BenchZowner]

You're guessing wrong m8, because I'm using DMMs ( Digital MultiMeters ) to measure the values
So... I'm using the BIOS initially and then my trimmers to adjust the voltages.

That made me laugh, and redefines 'punishment'. You are one funny guy

+1 for the webcam idea too. That would be hilarious.

i dont think your insane 1 bit,i think bored,insane is going into a biker bar and screaming harleys SUCK balls,now what ppl???thats insane.or screaming kkk power in kfc..

guess u dont play games on your pc???,i would have to be REALLY bored to do this by wasting hard earned money\time on good hardware,lol.interesting yes but frying hardware to impress us,i guess thats cool....

the planet already knows fsb\cpu vtt kills cpu chips in the 1.4-1.5+ range your kinda showing us the ovoius i read in alot of warning threads in here.

your almost proving a person can survive being shot 3-4 times in the body(which we know) vs hey look i shot my buddy 9 times and he finally died.ummm its gonna happen.

are these tests on air\water....i forgot.and what cooling specs exactly again please. ln2 does not count for 1 second being its only few minute unrealistic runs,tho phase does cause its a 24\7 relaistic setup

I rarely play single player games.
I like some multiplayer games, but then again I don't have too much time and the mood to play more than 1-2 hours per week nowadays.
I'm not doing this to impress anyone ( how can killing your stuff for/with stupid reasons impress people ? ), I'm just doing it for "research", as I'm looking to find if any of those voltages ( FSB and/or PLL ) can really kill a C2D/C2Q.

the planet already knows fsb\cpu vtt kills cpu chips in the 1.4-1.5+ range

From what ? From the anandtech article and their two dead CPUs ?
That's hardly proof...
And if you check the votes here, those do not reflect what you've just posted ( that people know and think that 1.4V to 1.5V are deadly for these CPUs ).
Both rigs are still running fine, without any signs of degradation, performance drop, instability, nada.

your kinda showing us the ovoius i read in alot of warning threads in here.

Lots of things are being described/said as obvious nowadays, but that doesn't mean that it's the truth.
People were saying "max 1.45Vcore for the 45nm's, else it'll degrade".
Yeah right
None of my CPUs degraded at all, and I've been punching 1.6V+ on all of them even on air cooling for hours. ( not to mention the 2.0V+ while benching with Dry Ice / Liquid Nitrogen ).

So tell me, when you say you are running the CPU @ PLLv2.8, in BIOS it would really be ~v2.6 right? or does the striker really gives 2.8 but the values shown in BIOS are wrong?

I totally forgot where is your post about the DMM measurements you did, so posting that picture and giving me some details about this overvolting problem would be really appreciated

[RejZoR]

Hm, why don't you just send this CPU to me? I'm quiet sure i'd put it to a good use instead just try to fry it... :P
