hmm, just took a look at the clocks.

wow! that's pretty amazing. i almost don't believe it! 4.7ghz on those voltages........craziness I tell you! What stepping is it?

I was curious about that too. He posted a couple of weeks back and didn't mention fpo/batch#... I saw it last night. I'm going to post my new E8400 to that thread and I'll ask him. I'll PM the info to you if he responds.

just tuned down voltage and put in 450fsb.....so far so good

got a replacement board for my P5Q-E, and its a rev 3 instead of rev 2, and lower temps with better OC:

What P45 revision is it using? It's listed on mainboard tab on cpuz.

**radaja** · 12-05-2008, 03:18 PM

well if its a3 then hopefully it will clock like the new a3 UD3P's good luck mate

what are the UD3P's clocking at? I think my bottleneck is my RAM... it's an older crucial ballistix PC6400, 4-4-4-12, but running it at 5-5-5-18 right now

**ssabripo** · 12-05-2008, 05:43 PM

ok....running 13 min of orthos and counting! so far so good, so if it stays stable, I'm keeping this!! this A3 board rocks and so does the E0 Stepping e8400!!!!

**radaja** · 12-05-2008, 06:17 PM

@ssabripo,they are clocking very well,and clocking memory to world records

**DoObs** · 12-05-2008, 09:41 PM

Got this a while back....Motherboard is dead now though...

**stopdroprofl** · 12-06-2008, 08:28 AM

Just picked this up the other day. E8500 Q827A658

Primed all day at 9.5x440, just kicked it up to 9.5x445. Half hour into it, looking pretty decent so far.

EDIT: Almost 4 hours, I'm going to fold on it for a few days at these settings.
