just shooting for a 24/7 stable, third 10+ hour stable run with prime.

What batch?

[kamikaze24]

Yes, but with 1.35 i hope to take 4.3-4.4, i can put 1.4 or 1.5 with my watercooling .

In all ways, it's better than my Ex 8300 C0 (1.35v for 4.0ghz, 1.47v )>4560 mhz but no stable) .


I think the matter is my parameter on my P5Q ...


(sorry for my bad english ... french inside) .

A guy on ebay has 2 chips e0 e8500's for $185 shipped.
I might pick up one since at Fry's it still runs me over $200 with tax.

So bought one of of the guy's e8500 eo chips for $185 shipped.
He has one more left onsold. Can't post ebay links here but anyone interested I can pm you the seller's info.

is Q828A164 the batch info?

yes it is

[BababooeyHTJ]

thank you the VID: 1.1125v

The VID on my e8400 is 1.225

Can u attach some SS ? ...i wanna see the E0 in action

[ssabripo]

anyone here with the P5Q Pro and the e8400 that can share their OC settings? I'm having trouble getting close to 4ghz

My ram is a bit older Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400, and I'm running it at 1:1 divider.
any help is appreciated.

i do, did you get the newegg combo deal as well? next time i reboot (which will be tonight) i'll write down what i have for ya.

[WeldZilla]

Hey ssabripo.. Here are my settings.







This board is a tough nut to crack!!! A real Pain in the ass!!! But, it can be done.

My system is air cooled. I have an air-conditioned room. I believe it would be the best to shoot for 475 fsb

at 4275 mhz. Good luck, let me know how this comes out for you.

[ThatGuy16]

Mines still kickin', got some new 4850's for "her"..



4.6 with 1.48v

[asap]

The VID on my e8400 is 1.225

its not realy bad,.. i've seen 4g under 1.3 with that VID

[lha]

i think that my E8500 E0 is some kind of "special" 'cos i can put it to 4.4 ghz with normal voltages so is that true that its good individual

[RPGWiZaRD]

I'd say E0 stepping is just that good, I know a friend of mine that got an E8400 that clocks to 4.5GHz (500x9) with 1.4v.

[ssabripo]

yeah..i got the combo. would be great if you could post it..thanks!

thanks WZ! I will try your settings and see if I can crack 4ghz.

quick question: if I want to run it at 450fsb for more stability (since I really dont do gaming), do you recommend leaving the Vcore at AUTO or set it manually to something? if manual, what do you suggest?

I have a Scythe INF heatshink + fan

[Flanman]

its not realy bad,.. i've seen 4g under 1.3 with that VID

i saw a vid of 1.2500 for mine and though it wasn't going to be that good for an E0 but it's running at 4g with under 1.3 for the vcore.

[asap]

i envy u guys with that E0

[WeldZilla]

Hey ssabripo I would set it to 1.425 in bios boot it then check actual voltage with cpuz. If you are in just under 1.4 you should be in great shape.

If you need to go higher on the voltage I will tell you I have to e8400's running at over 1.5 v for just under 9 months now.

Still you should get stable right around 1.4.

Im at around 1.32xx with load-line calibration enabled to get to 425x9 and it seems stable, but it needs 1.28 vterm. It passed 10 runs of linpack, I still need to do more tweeking and stress testing. Trying to get to a 450fsb is a struggle at any decent voltage. I was running 1.45 vcore in bios on my last board just to get the 425fsb stable that I'm at now.

yeah...i figured 1.4 would be a good start. I'm gonna start with that and see if my Vdroop is ok. I'm hoping I can achieve 425 fsb at 1.3v for everyday usage, and 472 fsb at 1.4 for high load

[Garrett]

I have another e8400
Q826A398, vid 1.2125v, runs @ 4ghz @ 1.20 load, no problems whatsoever, no screen but I ran orthos for 2 hours without problems.

same stepping on forumdeluxx.de ran 4ghz @ 1.136v... really good stepping so it seems

Of course I'm gonna try lower volts

[kamikaze24]

step by step, i follow my way to my objective ( over 4.5ghz) .
