well it rebooted last night lol but just passed a intelburntest at 5 times at max but need to work on the mobo settings cuz highest in windows was 7.5x575fsb killed that 480 i max on the E6400 and X3350 i had

but might still get a P5Q Dlx or MAX II idk yet might wait for i7 to come out for and old P965 it still works P5B Dlx

also whats the 24/7 mac vcore you go by ? 1.38- ?

Yeah on air I go 1.37-1.38 max for 24/7 otherwise it gets too hot.

its on water ran OCCT highest was 51c on both and idles at 32c 1.336 idle 1.344 load 4250Mhz just testing what i can get off these volts going to use setfsb to up it some everythime it passes OCCT 1hr test or well say 15x intelburntest be better and also faster

[BababooeyHTJ]

Would it be a bad idea to run 1.42 24/7 if my temp arent too bad?

[FabricioGS]

My max Pi on air

[jaredpace]

how do you know since Tcase max is 74.1C? Are you using an IR thermometer, or thermocouple on the IHS?

[misho]

So what do you guys think?? 4.2Ghz is my max on 1.38Volts on the CPU?

not bad on a C0

idk but this old mobo like fsb with this CPU

fsb 1.20 bios
nb 1.365v real

[misho]

I saw E8500 C0s hittin 4.4+ on same volts in previous pages.. E8400 C0s too.

not all cpus oc the same also might try working on your settings in the bios idk all the new crap they added cuz im on a Asus P5B Dlx P965 not much to mess with in the bios like the P35,P45 etc.

Dont look at others results, there can be many differences ;mobo, VID.

Great overclock already dom

[SimpleTECH]

Well I'm a little pissed and happy about my parents new PC. It runs cool and overclocks well. Unfortunately their E8400 overclocks a lot better than mine.

vCore: 1.25V (BIOS)


Mine (C0) needs ~1.4V in order to become stable at 4.0Ghz.

[JohnLoph]

good with 1.232v

[Alex-Ro]

Well,why don't you change the cpu,i'm sure that for them it's the same thing

thanks

but even if its the same VID it might not OC the same there not all the same and but its better then some ppl are getting for 24/7 clocks

Well,why don't you change the cpu,i'm sure that for them it's the same thing

I would do the same hope he didnt tell them already

I'd swapsies.

[carepolice]

Why dont you just swap them as said ^
I belive that your parents doesnt do much whit high oc'd dual core chip

LOL! Funniest thing I've read today. Tell Leeghoofd to put your parent's e8400 on his list, LOL!

[SimpleTECH]

Lol, you guys are too sweet.

Yeah I told them and honestly they wouldn't care. To be honest, I want them to have a relatively 'cool' computer since it gets somewhat hot in their office and I need a chip that can sustain low voltages at higher frequencies.

That said, I will most likely just sell my E8400 in hoping that I can get a E0 someplace else. *crosses fingers*

Their PC specs:
Asus P5Q Pro
E8400 E0 (8x500, E0 stepping, 1.25V)
OCZ Vendetta 2 (using my custom bolt kit, does the job well)
2x1GB Patriot PC2-8500 (crappy overclockers but I had some spare sticks so I decided to use them.. )
WD 320GB HDD
Samsung 22X DVD writer
Corsair 620HX
BFG 8800GT OC (sounds funny but came from my build after I upgrade to an 8800GTX)

All inside a 1 1/2 year old Thermaltake Armor.

[Leeghoofd]

Currently burning in my new Q828A434 VID is 1.25, currently 1.19Vcore (1.250 set in bios LLC disabled) for 8 x 500FSB



will let her burn in some more and then wack her up to 4.5Ghz...

[gurusan]

very nice leeghoofd, do you mind posting up your settings for that clock?

[misho]

Hoooly s**t I needed 1.34V for mine to reach 4Ghz stable!!!!
damnit u guys are lucky to get E0s from the store... NO ONE here in canada sells E0s... And tankguys don't ship to canada

There is something wrong now... Even in here finland you can go and buy E0

kaskuli, I have the brother to your E8500.

Mine is E8500 SLB9K Q827A286 Pack Date: 08/07/08


Still testing mine.

[Leeghoofd]

very nice leeghoofd, do you mind posting up your settings for that clock?

thx but I'm still looking for better, thx to Nilos for having me swap this one... other one was 1.25Vcore required for the same ops...
