**Official e8400/e8500 Retail OC Thread

[WaterFlex]

Just has bought the new chip: E8400 E0. Results soon.

[Godmyster]

Any good program that reads voltages in windows?

[WaterFlex]

First results with my new chip: 1,160V

1) Under Linpack:



2) Under Prime95:




Now, I will make 500x9 and 600x8. Stay tuned.

I will make 500x9 and 600x8. Stay tuned.

best of luck with that (500x9=4.5ghz) or (600x8=4.8ghz) lets see how much volts it's gonna take to hold it there stable

[WeldZilla]

this is my highest clock to date.

This processor is just a couple days shy of 11months old.

It has lived on no less than 1.5volts of V-core it's whole life.
It will still dial up for some serious benching. Ithappily runs at it's daily clock with out fuss


Not bad for an oldie!!!

Any good program that reads voltages in windows?because i was doing some OC and i didnt even put voltage on the NB

Man, you have Asus mobo, use PC Probe for reading voltages or everest.

@WaterFlex
Awesome chip

Thank you bro. I have done 500x9 @ 1,31Vcore. Prime95 seems to be stable, but testing with Linpack now. More pics soon.

[Godmyster]

How much should i boost NB voltage? and whats the deault on this board?

[Bullet92]

@WaterFlex

You're on water or air cooling? Seems to be pretty awesome chip if it's on air. I've E86 that can do 4GHz stable with 1.22V and needs 1.48V to boot at 4.9GHz. The seller hold this chip at 4.5GHz with 1.35V stable but under water.
Looking forward to 500x9 results

E8500 under cold water
FPO#: Q820A636
mobo: DFI LP DK P45-T2RS+ stock
mem: 2x1Gb Transcend aXeRam PC2-6400

i just got a 8400 and ud3p board the chip is great and runs cool but i cants eem to hit 9x500 i can do 8.5x500. I get confused with all the extra voltage settings coming from a 975x chipset. Any help here?

[Godmyster]

I got Probe II last version and doesnt say the NB voltage ive checked the Config and there is nothing there, is there like plugins?

[radaja]

P5Q deluxe has no nb sensor

[Godmyster]

How much NB voltage can i safely go up to? mine is @ default i think is 1.1v

[gurusan]

P5Q deluxe has no nb sensor

What sensor does the p5q deluxe mobo sensor read?

[Godmyster]

gurusan how much voltage did you put in NB? im trting to get some help here for a good OC but seems dificult for answeres... :S

[WaterFlex]

Godmyster
Go to P5Q Deluxe thread. You will find the help there.

[Godmyster]

But i want to OC my E8400 and wanted some advice from you guys so i can do a good OC...

[gurusan]

gurusan how much voltage did you put in NB? im trting to get some help here for a good OC but seems dificult for answeres... :S

P5Q does not need much...I think the other models need a bit more voltage than the P5Q-E and P5Q-Pro...but still very little voltage.

I use 1.24 for 485fsb with 4x1gb dimms full. 1.26V for 515fsb

[Godmyster]

i got 2x2 gskill pi ddr 800 they probobly wont do much overclock right?

[gurusan]

I think those modules are supposed to be quite good actually

[Godmyster]

but since thereonly ddr 6400 they probobly wont OC very well or am i wrong?

[Godmyster]

I dont know whats wrong here... i cant even get it to go 445, what am i doing wrong? i need some help here, apreciate it.



Thanks

Falling down after 8 seconds is a sign of a sever instability , try to stabilize 445X8 first , if unstable then try to get 430X9 stable then keep moving up , that is how things work . Test one variable at a time , but i don't think that it is Temperature or Vcroe related

Off course if both no go , then try low FSB low Multi and high memory clock to know what is holding you back
