Retail E8600 Overclock, Temps, Settings Thread

[zlojack]

Robilar I have the same batch as you. (Canada Computers, by any chance? )

So far, I've been able to get it to Linpack stable for 5 runs on IntelBurnTest at 4.3GHz on 1.36v on my Maximus/Rampage Formula. What are you getting out of the chip so far on the real X48?

It also looks like mine has stuck sensors. 40*C and they won't go any lower. They don't start to move until I put the chip under load. Should I return it and get another one?

[Robilar]

Yes CC

Mine don't have stuck sensors at all (I was quite pleased as my QX9650 was a mess)

I just started runs on the chip. now that 4 ghz is out of the way, I'm going to start moving it up.

Damn

Maybe I'll take it back tomorrow and see if they'll switch it due to the stuck sensors.

I'll have to see how good of a chip it is before I do that though!

[Rattle]

Batch?

bought from newegg

[BeastNotro]

I bought my E8600 guys from NCIX.com ....... hopes it a good one ..... it be in tomorrow to me ... i hope.
I was going to go with Canada Computers, but we pay both taxes then.

Same batch as me...

Stuck sensors?

[rabor]

Another Q822A435 - VID = 1.1875

IHS is warped pretty bad so really needs lapping, but I guess voiding warranty should be worth it.. (!?)

Quick test:

i'd wait a bit before you lap it
i lap all my cpus but i'm gonna wait on my e8600

nope, very pleased with the chip so far.
4800MHz is priming now. low volts 1.325
I'm crossing fingers for 5.0GHz @ 1.35/ 1.375

Wow...4800 on your M2F?

I can't get it to prime at 1.4v at 4.5GHz....

Hmmm..time to make a call to CC, I think.

gtl's will play a big part in settling the chip down, so will pll
I ran a 8600 on my MF board and found it was hard to get 4500 stable
still like my quad better

[zlojack]

On my RF 0408 bios I'm using:

CPUPLL: 1.52v
CPU GTL Reference : 0.67X
North Bridge GTL Reference : 0.67X

[Grnfinger]

try 63x for cpu
whats your FSBT at?

[zlojack]

try 63x for cpu
whats your FSBT at?

FSBT = 1.24v (bios)

I'll try that on the CPU gtl and see what happens this evening.

[BNDMOD]

Anyone know Q820A324 batch with 1.25VID?
I can't reach 600 fsb over p5q3 dl :s

61-64% glt no more

[Lu523]

Mine is going back for sure after seeing the temps some of you are getting.

What are you clocked @ with that batch.. ? i may have access to same one.

[zlojack]

I tried a few different ways to get up to 4.4GHz.

440x10 and lowered the CPU GTL to X.63 1.40 vcore (Windows) and I still get a BSOD after about a minute of Linpack.
464x9.5 same GTL and same vcore...same result.

I bumped vcore up to 1.45 and still get the BSOD.

So either I get no scaling after 4.3GHz with 1.36v, or there's some settings I need to tweak more. I can't get another 100MHz out of this bad boy...

Try loosening your timings and or mhz on memory.

5-5-5-18-55 if possible and memory stay around your stock speed mhz for now.

GTL's 61-64 i read somewhere.

1.36v is max i would ever do.

[BeastNotro]

And damn it my freaking E8600 CPU never arrived today .. they telling me tomorrow now.

Buggers.... but now i am getting the gut feeling of WHY did i by it .. if sensors are screwy on so many.

I just pray its a good batch and good IHS and good sensors and good OC'er ... wow thats a lot to pray for .. i am praying for it....

[BNDMOD]

What are you clocked @ with that batch.. ? i may have access to same one.

Right now 4.0Ghz with 1.23vcore in bios

With all auto and only 1.40 in bios for VCORE trought setfsb get 4.7Ghz sp1m stable.. no more time..

I'm trying to boot at 600x7 but i can't .... i have try few things but all things didn't work :s

My RAM is good at those speeds. I've run it at a higher speed with a higher FSB and it does Prime Blend, mt201 and Linpack no problem.

To get to 4.4GHz I dropped the FSB to 464 and upped the multi to 9.5, so there's actually less stress on the RAM. Then I dropped FSB to 440 and multi up to 10, and so the RAM was at 1057 and still no luck with the 4.4GHz even above 1.41v...

looks like ill be playing with the same batch as yours this weekend
