**Official e8400/e8500 Retail OC Thread

[misho]

OK,.. so I went and bought the E8400 E0, Q843B035.

Let me tell you, it performs almost the same as my older E8500 C0.

I got the f**king worst E0 ever created.

Right now, it fails at 490x9(4.4Ghz) @ 1.36 Volts, and needed 1.33Volts for 4.190Ghz. Now that is messed up!!!!!!!.

at 4.4Ghz its fails orthos after about 10 mins, Here are my full configs:

CPU Voltage: 1.360V
Northbridge/SB Voltage: 1.360
DDR Voltage: 2.2V
FSB: 1.3V
CPU Core1 GTL Ref Voltage: 0.67*VTT
CPU Core2 GTL Reg Voltage: 0.69*VTT
MCH GTL Ref Voltage: 0.67*VTT
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.7V
If you think these are too high, I also tried the lower voltages and still didnt work.

My mobo: Biostar Tpower i45
Mem: OCZ Reaper HPC PC8500 2GB
Can you guys tell me what the F**K is going on? I mean all the other E0s in this thread run very nice on low Voltages, and the Q843 Batches are good too.
Edit::: I also loosened up my memory (looser than a magicians sleeve actually, 7-8-8-18(5-5-5-15 stock)..
help be4 i explode for wasting $200 for this POS.

Thanks
