E8600 Prime Stable Overclocking Database

[BeastNotro]

Ok guys i figured i would start a Prime Stable DataBase thread of OC's specific to the E8600 cpu's. I will try and keep it up to date as much as possible.

Just post away with the info required and i will add you and if i come across ppl's primed OC's that are in threads already. I will add them too as long as i can see the Full Load Vcore and Batch Number.

Prime Stable Programs = Orthos Prime or Prime95, I will not use Linpack as a measuring tool.

Info Needed, Required

-Batch Number
-Vcore (full Load) (Post Picture of it)
-Minimum of 3 hrs Prime Stable (Post Picture of it)
-Minimum 4.2ghz

I have updated the list a little more .. keep them coming guys, PM me info that is required and i will add you or post in this thread the info required.

to be honest 4.0 is a big joke for a e8600

[RCG_Bex]

E8600 @ 4.5GHz Watercooled, ~25C AMBIENT
Q820A750
VID 1.25v
V-Core 1.38 LOAD (1.36-7 normal)

She can run longer but I wanted to do stuff!!!

Ya....I reallly don't understand why people just trying to hit 4ghz only on a EO stepping. nothing new with 4ghz.....4.5+ghz is where it's at.

[jaredpace]

the 4.0 attempts were for lowest vcore. Several chips ranging between 1.08v-1.19v were shown to be prime stable. I'm expecting 4.4-4.7 to be the top-end standard.

[nugzo]

Q820a405
Thermalright Ultra extreme W/ Washer Mod and Push Pull fans.
4441mhz 1.38v 11hours prime stable. Small FFT.

exactly 4.0 is easy with a e6850 or e8400
i even did 4.0 with my old e6400 lol
and 4.5 is easy too

[kitfit1]

Come on then, post up your 4.6ghz prime stable screenie.

lol i just played cod4 for an hour 1920X1200@ 4.6@ 1.38v and i dont run my memory below 1200mhz
i dont do prime more than an hour
my problem is gettin 5.0+ under 1.5v i dont like goin over 1.45 for 24/7
4.6 is ok for now until my next cpu

[Dee]

I'm waiting to see if these E8600's start to degrade from higher voltage before I even attempt something like 4.5GHz. Yesterday I hit 4.33GHz at 1.36V but I didn't stress test it. Meanwhile, I'll keep running at 4.00GHz for daily use until you guys' chips explode! Then I can see how much voltage to pump through my new baby while staying safe.

PS: This one's a week 20. Q820A670.

In a few years on XS, I have only seen a handfull of people claiming their CPU had "degraded" over time... Now, be Xtreme and push that chip up to 1,45V

[HDCHOPPER]

unless 8600 start getting 5.0
them eye will stay with my 8400 at 4.7 hard to justify a 8600 unless it can do 5.0 24/7

well...running those speeds with out 8hours prime is nothing to me also. my co 8400 does 4.2ghz 8hrs prime on air. but 4.5+ 8hours prime e8600 I would be interested in.

my e6850 has degraded but who cares i did 4.0+ for a year
1.45 i think is safe over 1.5 not for 24/7 for me

go ahead stress your system all you want
to me 1 hour is my max for prime
if it dont crash playin games @4.6 for hours its good enough for me

[Dee]

NOoOOooOO! Not yet.

Furthest I have been today is 1.384. However, I didn't stress test it, only ran Super Pi 32M.



I *might* go for something higher soon, we'll see.

Yeah, that's a good chip. No need to change.

[HellasVagabond]

Damn, i cant prime even for 10 minutes without crashing @ 4.7GHz......And i dont want to use more than 1.4v :P :P :P
Would lowering the multiplier and upping the FSB produce significally less heat people ?

[RCG_Bex]

I've got 4.8GHz but it's not stable. It DID do about 1hr but not anymore....

~Bex

[REVHEAD]

Prime is rubbish it doesnt stress enough try Intel Burn test aka Linpack http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=197835

[RCG_Bex]

Well that's why I generally do 8hrs Prime min. I keep meaning to try that new burn test but Iv'e not got around to it...

~Bex

[HellasVagabond]

The intel burn test overstresses components...And when i say Overstresses i mean like 120%......Its not needed....

[dinos22]

can i make a suggestion to OP

you should use also note the type of cooling ppl are using as i just fell of the chair after i saw a 5.1GHz kitfit1 in first post and only later saw his sig.......

also please ask for ppls ambient temps if possible

i know at least some members here have tried to "impress" others with their OCs but they forget to mention that they've got a window open with cool winter or cold air hitting the rig

4.6GHz stable on E8600 sounds pretty good with one member
i do believe it's possible as i can bench easy at 4.8GHz on air (TTBT with 100CFM fan with 1.43-1.44v)....around 20-22c ambient

so dropping fan speed and 200MHz should be possible with this chip but it will never see prime as it's my benching chip heh

[dinos22]

if it dont crash playin games @4.6 for hours its good enough for me

you reminded me of my old 3000+ AMD Venice

i was sooo obsessed at having a high clocked 24/7 rig that i ran it at 2750 or 2800 can't recall now and the rig was stable for my use (some games, normal stuff and some video editing etc.) >> the funniest part...........the rig could not even finish 1M SuperPi hahahaha

but i've run it for months and never had issues lol..........how the hell does a chip encode videos for 7-8 hours in one go and cannot even finish 1M SuperPi

that was just magic

these days i run low clocks...low volts in main machine..........i think processors have reached some incredible efficiency that it's not even needed for me to push it hard to squeeze everything out of it
