Retail E8600 Overclock, Temps, Settings Thread

[LagunaX]

I thought 1.40v is safe, but soem are saying lower then that on AIR = 1.38...

Intel specs say 1.3675 or something like that i think but not sure exactly.

[BeastNotro]

If true then 4.0-4.3 maybe is what all can be done on decent to good chips at that voltage on Air.

hey there friend what kinda temps you getting on that E8600 of your at 4.3Ghz with that voltage in that Cooler Mater Case you got..?Cause I wanna go Water Cooled in a Stacker 810 built on my nexts built..

[icecpu]

My E8600 why so hot, @ 4.23Ghz with vcore 1.256 CPUz
idle : 43C - 50C , depending what time during the day
load : 68C - 75C , again depending hot day or cool day here in northern california .

and my TRUE was lapped and washer modded and reseated , the same hot result.

This German eBay guy says he's got 2 Q822A435's left in stock. I bought one yesterday & it cost me 16 euros for S&H to Holland via DHL..

The auction does state that he only ships to Germany, so you'll have to ask if he'll ship to your country & for how much..

(I'd also ask what FPO's those 2 are to be sure).

GL.

I asked him, he says he cant guarantee FPO and cant look as they are in warehouse.

4Ghz required 1.19v and was pretty cool even on a hot day. But then I am running watercooling. Not very good watercooling but it's enough. New case will have a swiftech mcr 320 dedicated to the CPU alone. Atm I've got 2x 240s cooling the CPU, NB and 3870X2's.

I had the same thing. At 4.3 ghz it did 66C's on load.

New 8600 does 57C's at load but 4.4 ghz and 0.05 more volts!

I just picked one up this morning

Q820A596

VID 1.25

running at 10x400 in windows at 1.248 vcore

7 hours of orthos, the highest I saw either core hit was 41C. Ambient case temp of 24C

looks like no more stuck sensors like I have with my QX9650 either.

I'm going to drop the vcore a couple of notches and see if it is still stable.

[PytonOrm]

oh yeah babe 4,3ghz with 1,24v set in bios gave me this

orthos stable to a couple hours Q820A601

[rabor]

I asked him, he says he cant guarantee FPO and cant look as they are in warehouse.

Oow.. he told me he thought all 3 were A435's

"Es handelt sich um folgende FPO: Q822A435.
Diese FPO bezieht sich aber lediglich auf eine CPU. Die anderen beiden befinden sich bei uns im Außenlager, sollten aber die selbe FPO haben"

4800MHz aw yeah! Temps aren't too bad either. ~46c whilst doing everyday things in Windows... Then as I stated earlier, I've a dodgey waterblock contact atm so roll on the new CPU block and tripple rad dedicated to the CPU!

My real concern is the PLL tbh. I think it's a tad high for this CPU... 1.56v=~1.65v - think I'll try and bring it down if I can...

~Bex

[PytonOrm]

1,160v cpu-z reading and 4300mhz Orthos stable yet over 2 hour and 39 minutes and counting set 1,2v in bios

[RCG_Bex]

I managed that on 1.19v CPU-Z Reading These things are just so sweet it's unreal!

I just got 4800MHz running on a 266 strap so I'm bringing down the voltages

[screwtech02]

Opps, my bad...

[Robilar]

did some more orthos testing on mine.

at 4 ghz, it passed at 1.232 in windows for 5 hours. temps were under 40 c for both cores (topping out at 38/39C for cores).

I'm going to drop it another couple of notches to see if its stable lower.


one thing I noticed from this chip and my quad is that my NB is running a few C cooler for some reason as well.

[Darkatom]

So whats the general consensus as far as cpu fsb voltage goes ? Would running 1.2 fsb daily be too much for these chips ? I ask because mine takes 1.208 load to do 4.0ghz w/ 1.15 fsb. I might be able to get it a bit lower by upping the fsb up one more notch.

[Lu523]

I just got mine up amd running. VID is 1.1125. Currnetly testing at 400x10, cpuz shows 1.168 load. With my cheap dmm I get 1.14 volts. Going to let Orthos run for a while and check temps. 42 is the highest it has gone so far.

[Geebs]

Ok,

So I was freaking out over the temps of my new E8600, so I RMA'ed it and got another. Q820A405 this time, and still temps are idle 47 / load 58-60 with Intel Burn Test. This is at default speed and voltage, no oc, and an ambient room temp of 21c.

I too have lapped and washered my TRUE, with no difference at all.

CoreTemp reports vID of 1.1875.

I called Intel yesterday to try and get some answers, but I was greeted by a Tech who didn't even have the E8600 in his system, so he created a case number pertaining to an E8500

So when I got thru to the next tech, he proceeded to inform me that they can not give a idle temp average as there are too many variables between systems. He did say however that the max temp for the E8600 is 72.4c, and that the vID ranged from .85v to a max recommended voltage of 1.3625v. I confirmed this at processorfinder.intel.com and all was as the tech said. He said if my temps were peaking at 58-60c, that I should be happy with them. I asked him how my old E6320 clocked to 2.8Ghz at 1.34375v could idle at 19-22c and under load peak at 38-42, yet this new E8600 at only 1.1875 idles at 47c and peaks at 58-60c? He said it was the 45nm process. I was quite shocked at this answer. It just doesn't make sense to me.

But I must admit, I am glad to see that others are reporting the same kind of temps with these new chips. It just goes against everything I have ever tried to accomplish with my temps, as I strive to keep them below 50c for the well being of the chips.

[BeastNotro]

I would have to say that maybe the temp programs are not reading these new chips E0 100% properly... as it goes against all logic that a 45nm COOLER chip can be hotter then a 65 NM HOTTER chip .. how so unless these new chips have a turbo engine built into them to get 3.33ghz...

I sure as hell hope that is the case, cause as it stands now, my temps are gonna seriously hinder my overclocks

[BeastNotro]

I am hoping so too ..... as my E8600 should arrive Monday or Tuesday.

Why are you using Coretemp? It reports temps 10 c hotter that actual due to incorrect thermal junction measurement for 45nm cpu's.

Use Real Temp and be happy.

Hi,

here is mine E8600 Q822A435 VID 1.2375v need volt to get 4.5 stable but don't seems too hot eighter. (62°c max under water)

4.5ghz (7.5 x 600) @ 1.38v OCCT (CPU test)



It was done with friend's P5E3 premium

Nice but VID does not MEAN Current Vcore ... unless at STOCK cpu GHZ.

It took you 1.38 Vcore to get that Overclock.

Nice OC by the way, but like many have stated/claimed ..... stay around 1.20-1.24v to avoid degradation of the CPU.

So that means somewhere around 4.2-4.3ghz .. but again there is no guaranttee that it won't degrade either at those volts, but it more plausible that it won't.
