I didn't go above 1.5V on nb both with 65nm C2D and C2Q since my nb is air cooled. But then again i didn't go much above 500fsb.
Your nb temps are rather ok considering voltage. What is your ambiental.

Forgot to post this result, so thought i'd do it now. First screenie is 5ghz stable with the E8600. Second screenie at 5.1ghz is where it is at the moment, i'm pretty shure it'll run the distance. As you can see, nice low Vcore so it should have a bit more headroom in it yet

ambient is 25-26c
i put thermalright hr-07 ifx on nb no fan yet
i got good air circulation in my case
i gotta figure out what all max safe volts on air but i'm happy @ 4.5 for 24/7

Wow that's good ambiental, here it was 104F yesterday, horrible.
What you got on southbridge?
I also god very good circulation but you can't fight nature.

Awesome 5GHz 8 hours blend stable at 1.4v & DDR1200 I like the sound of that

[Big Lar]

Flashed my bios from 05/02/08 to 03/17/08 via usb today, and you guessed it, dead board. Had all defaults set with only a tad bit of cpu volts to make sure it flashed ok. Long story short, I got the 88 post code after the F1 reboot and that looped about 4 times, just an endless loop after popping the battery for about an hour and shorting the cmos jumper. No post code at all. Fun stuff

Anyone got a spare bios chip they could sell me? LMK

i'm using the heatsink off my x38 on sb and pwm from x38 too lol or i woulda had to cut that silly heatpipe
measure sb with lasergun its @33c damn its hot "i6 gotta remember not to measure temps through the plexyglass lol"
my ac is on 70f now

kitfit how high you got cpu vtt@ n what gtl% is the e8600 liking mine seems to like 63%

biglar get it from biosdepot on ebay 10$ he ships fast too
i'm sure if you buy it today he will ship on mondayb hes cool
make sure you give him chip numbers n tell him the bios you want on it

[-Zork-]

Are there anyone who use USB KEYBOARD or USB MOUSE to POWER ON???,

I configured like the manual said and don´t work on LT P35 with bios 502

After a lot of test and change of pin and config.

Result, only PS2-mouse/keyb can power ON.

USB-mousr/keyb Dont works

[fireice2]

is and E8600 @ 5ghz possible with water for 24/7 Use?

Thanks, Praz linked me to him and I ordered earlier today. Kinda lost without my setup

[BlueAqua]

I have an extra bios chip if anyone needs. Just let me know.

[zsamz_]

is and E8600 @ 5ghz possible with water for 24/7 Use?

i'm @ 4.5 1.38v for now too tired
you need to get a nice chip for 1.45v 5ghz i wouldnt wanna go over 1.45v for 24/7
i might get another one once prices drop

[zsamz_]

i was on 512 bios n using special add % was booting @ 1.38v n after a few boots later was @ 1.47v
i upadated bios to 521 n it happened again
i just rebooted n lowered volt by 1 % setting n i'm back to 1.38
i think we need a bios for the new stepping
is there a bios that i dont have to use special add for my e8600

[kitfit1]

kitfit how high you got cpu vtt@ n what gtl% is the e8600 liking mine seems to like 63%

VTT is at 1.17v, GTL's are 68-67-69. I have them set the same as my E8500 was, because as yet i hav'nt re-done my GTL voltages for this cpu. I have tried it up to VTT 3.3v but the values have definately changed from CO revision parts. So anyone that is using there old values is going to have a bit of a problem.

Having said all that, because i always run under phase, my settings are always going to be a bit different (the cpu GTL's specifically).

need some help tweaking my memory timings. any ideas guys?

Any type of ramsinks is a _must_ on the CPL chips, plus a high CFM fan and transpiper. This alone will make your CPU prime at lower vCore. .

What about just a fan over them?

[mad_skills]

Yes, that is quite good.
I think Sunon makes some good 60mm fans that could do the job.

Unless you are the sort of person (like me) that likes to tinker for the sake of tinkering you really don't need to manually set any of the secondary timings just leave them on auto.

I would just set Fast.Fast.Auto.Agressive.5.5.5.15.5.35 ~ whatever it needs & leave everything else on auto & see what happens. You can run something like Prime 95 on a custom 4096 stability test & tweak the primary timings up & down in BIOS or Memset till you get your desired performance. I would also use Everest bandwidth & latency test & Super PI 32m as a good gauge as to whether your tweaking is achieving anything or not.

You can also use Memset to discover what your board/BIOS has set for most of the secondary timings which will give you a start point to tweak/test from.

My 1GB sticks of Micron based RAM like the following for about DDR 1200 ~ 1250 @ 2.2 ~ 2.3v

Enhance Data Transmitting................. Fast
Enhance Addressing........................ Fast
T2 Dispatch............................... Auto
Clock Setting Fine Delay.................. All Auto * Aggressive

CAS Latency Time (tCL).................... 5
RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD)................. 5
RAS# Precharge (tRP)...................... 5
Precharge Delay (tRAS).................... 9
All Precharge to Act...................... 4 ~ 5
REF to ACT Delay (tRFC)................... 24 ~ 35

Performance Level......................... Auto (depends on divider)
Read Delay Phase Adjust................... Leave on auto.
MCH ODT Latency........................... Auto ~ 2
Write to PRE Delay (tWR).................. 11
Rank Write to Read (tWTR)................. 10
ACT to ACT Delay (tRRD)................... 3
Read to Write Delay (tRDWR)............... 8
Ranks Write to Write (tWRWR).............. 4
Ranks Read to Read (tRDRD)................ 5
Ranks Write to Read (tWRRD)............... 4
Read CAS# Precharge (tRTP)................ 3
ALL PRE to Refresh........................ 4

Some good advice by C-N. Other then tRd, which at times can be lowered by one, most of the secondaries are pretty close for a 24/7 setup.

[tonytouch]

thanks alot C - N and praz. that was great info, coming from u guys i will follow the advice
Again much appreciated for the help guys. keep up the good work
will post some results soon based on info
thanks again

[Beleno]

hi guys!
i tested my new e8600 on the lanparty p35 ut: i saw that lanparty+e8600 combo is much more faster than my previous combo (lanparty+e8400) in superpi 1M (-0,2sec.), but a lot slower on 32M. The 8600 needs 200mhz+ than e8400 to make the same time.
of course all the setting are the same (566x9.5 e8600, 566x9 e8400, ram 566 4.4.4.12, trd 7). I think that is a bios issue, in 1m maby the l2cache is faster in e8600 than e8400, but what about 32M?
Thank you

[zsamz_]

man i cant seem to break 12000mb/s
how much cpu vtt do i need for a 45nm to go past 550fsb
or did i hit ram speed limit on the board@ high fsb

[nfm]

Try setting the highest tref value in MemSet.
