Damn, I need to get me a E0

My E8500 C0 doesn't like anything over 4.3ghz on water

I'll be getting one this week. Just bought it at Dell for $158 (w/ coupon code) while NewEgg was selling it for $159 then I looked back earlier today at NewEgg and it went to $167... (for the E8400).

I'll post up results when it comes in .

_AntLionBR_ our congratulations man! using noctua great result!

_AntLionBR_, me passa ( se possivel ) o setting que vc ta usando na bios ai para mim comparar com o meu o 4870@over me passou um mais ta muito mais muito instável e tirei mais agora quando tendo voltar ele não passa nem do carregamento do sistema!!!

Viva o Brasil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

radaja, that's a great chip. have you tried max clocks on air for it? tried running SPi 1M at 5ghz? your chip looks very capable of that. and planning to ever sell it at a premium?

[radaja]

radaja - what mobo?

very impressive radaja

thanks guys,it is indeed the UD3R.i was without internet for two weeks
and it almost killed me
i havent tried going higher than 1.39v yet.but i will and see how high i can go on air

and as to this "and planning to ever sell it at a premium?" you never know
with my job instability lately,it could very well be on the market at a moments notice

Still breaking in the CPU, got it this afternoon .
Q845A837

3.6GHz (400x9) 1.12V

3.8GHz (423.3x9) 1.168V

4.0GHz (445x9) 1.248V


4.0GHz (445x9) 1.248V using IBT


Still in testing phase and yes I know I rushed through the lower speeds (will go back to them) but so far 4.0GHz@1.248V is running strong. Going to do more IBT runs.

I think I'm limited by my motherboard and my cooling... Heck its a CNPS9500! lol

Q845A837 bought it yesterday from Dell.

Stepping E0 worth every penny paid friend. It was not beyond 4.5Ghz.

thanks, _AntLionBR_! so get home I try and compare with my then post the result!

Viva o Brasil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[radaja]

WhiteFireDragon,i decided to give it a go with Pi 32m and 1m
to see what the max OC on air i could get.

9x540@4860 ddr1296 pl8 1m Pi


9x540@4860 ddr1296 pl8 32m Pi


9x543@4887 ddr1302 pl8 1m Pi


9x543@4887 ddr1302 pl8 32m Pi.......my first sub 10 32m


9x545@4905 ddr1308 pl8 1m Pi.......only 95MHz to go



9x549@4941 ddr1317 pl8 1m Pi


9x549@4941 ddr1317 pl8 32m Pi




and finally im in the 5ghz club
9x556@5004 ddr1334 pl8



everest score

LOVE that desktop wallpaper!! What is it and where'd you get it??

Hi guys! This is my new toy (at air cooling):

[radaja]

nice Caml Light 4200MHz with 1.16v
that one should clock pretty high with decent volts

thank you! how many volts your cpu @ 4.2Ghz requires to pass at least 20 min of LinX/IBT?

Bye!

[kamieldehond]

Hi guys! This is my new toy (at air cooling):

what batch do you have?

[radaja]

mine needed 1.23v for 4257MHz.thats why i think you have got a great one on your hands.
whats the batch number and vid?

and 4124 with stock volts.

[ThatGuy16]

My trusty ol' C0 E8400 made it to 4.82Ghz today. I think i may have had the voltage a little higher than what it needed. I think it was the ram and/or the NB making it unstable.

It was 1.58v under load.

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=614668



I get 4.0 stable at 1.248v.. not too bad for a C0

not bad at all!nice OC

Thanks, wish i had your E0 though.

Hey guys,

I am just reporting here::

For all those wondering about lifetime of overclocking etc.

I have an E8500 C0 Overclocked to 4.250Ghz, @ 1.45Volts, down to 1.42with vdroop.

Temperature range is from 30C to 50C.

So, the CPU has lasted me for over 1 year now, running 24/7 stable. So

Will your E8500/E8400 last for more than a year on 1.45V? Yes it will!

I am jealous you guys. Damn NICE overclocks. 1.25V @ 4.25Ghz!!! Thats insane. At 1.45V i bet u can get close to 5Ghz, 24/7 stable clock!!!
I am thinking if I should sell my C0, and go for a E8500 E0! get like 5Ghz 24/7 clock

Its not only that but the NB and the cooling that come into account once you start getting to these speeds. Voltage isn't everything

My motherboard is the Biostar Tpower i45, which got the world record overclock with my E8500 cpu i think..

I guarantee your cpu will last AT LEAST 1 year on 1.45V. My estimate is that at 1.45V it will last for at least 3 years. We'll see

Hi guys! This is my new toy (at air cooling):

what fpo/batch and what vid is it?

Also ... here is my new e8400 fpo Q842A (my EP45-UD3P says vid 1.200 but Biostar runs it default with 1.144Volts hadn't had time yet to try clocking it on the Biostar)





EDIT: And a question. What do you think about a combination of this water cooling components:EK Supreme + Magicool 240mm Extreme + 2 Scythe Ultra Kaze 120mm 38mm 2000rpm + EK flexible tube + black metal fittings + Laing DDC-1T PRO (modded to Ultra) + rezervoir EK DDC X-RES 100 + aditiv Feser Base Corrosion blocker? Is it a good one? Is compatible with Gigabyte EP45-UD3P and/or Biostar Tpower I45 ? (these are the mobos I have at home right now ... must try Biostar and see how it compares with UD3P)
Thank you,

WORDS cannot explain how excited I am. 1.2V for 4.250Ghz ? THATS INTRAUBERSANE
