Retail E8600 Overclock, Temps, Settings Thread

[CryptiK]

No idea, I have not stability tested it as it's just a bench chip. The closest I have come to it was running orthos small FFT for 10 mins at 4.2GHz (600 x 7) a 1.296v and 1.28Vtt. It may not have needed that much voltage, I had just finished a SPI32M run and wondered how stable the cpu had been at those settings.

I wish it was a Q822A435, I have been trying to find one of those for awhile now without luck, I'm still trying. Kurtz if you ever want to sell yours, please let me know.

My chip is a Q820A722.

sure mate

[KURTZ]

Yours has very low VID, maybe potential. Seen your max so far but what u need for prime stable with4.5Ghz, 4.6Ghz? etc.

my chip has 0.9375

I want to share this wallpaper with you all, i hope that like it

that looks more like a Q820A405. decent batch, but still not as great.

[LagunaX]

Oh yeah u r right

@ hersounds: thanks

i've just put my q822a435 on fleabay, gone i7 now , orthos stable at 600fsb at 2000mhz on ram at 4200mhz at only 1.24 volt , heres the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:L:LCA:GB:1123

E8600 Batch# Q820A349 7/17/08 "on air" Cooler Master V8

[KURTZ]

Vid?

[paulxmn]

Vid?

VID 1.25

Luckily got an Q822A435 and by now have tested it for few days.
4500Mhz ~1,26v Orthos and Coldbug -155c.
Unfortunately my T2RS PLUS decided not to work properly, so i don't have any scores under cold.
Maybe next weekend i'll try again with other motherboard.

[Zeus]

What batches are in the stores yet? Still Q820 and Q822?

How do the newer batches do if there are any?

[CryptiK]

I guess it depends where you go, I have seen Q847's and also Q820's still available elsewhere. I still cannot find a Q822A435 though, I have searched for more than 18 months to no avail. My only hope I think is if someone who has one wants to upgrade to i7.

[Zeus]

Ugh, i regret selling my ReX w/ E8600 Q822A435 more and more now.

Is Q822A435 still king of the hill?

[proxis]

seen some q917 and q920, anyone tested ?

AFAIK yes it is, that batch was simply epic.

[Zeus]

Well, yes and no actually.

Mine could run 4.5GHz Prime stable with only 1.288Vcore but it hit a concrete wall at 4920MHz.

No way i could get it to run 5GHz! Not even SuperPi 1M....

I managed to chase one down!

It wasn't cheap, €160 without shipping (used obviously) but hey... it's a Q822A435.

I know one or 2 more for sale (used), PM me if you need info.

Hello all

I get my first new c2d (45nn) yesterday (e8600) now i need your experts help my overclocking. My old prosessor was e6300 (allendale) thats ticking 3.5ghz (7x500fsb) allright.

Now i testing e8600 overclocking ability little, but thats are little bit harder compared my old e6300. Old e6300 gets fsb 500-515 easily. Now i running orthos 4.4ghz 3h without problems, but i wait little more that prosessor.
or am I get very bad batch prosessor? Prosessor are sanded to copper, thats why i dont can't look batch, can i look batch some program?

I running watercooling (Swiftech 320, heatkiller 3.0, laing 10w). I thinking if prosessor go 500fsb 24/7, i am very happy. I am very thankfull if somebody help me with bios setting.

I try couple setting, but always overclocking stopped 4.6ghz when i start orthos Thats are my bios settings and motherboard are P5Q-e (nb and sb with active air cooling)

CPU setting
CPU ratio: 10
C1E support: disabled
Max cpuid value limit: disabled
Intel virtualization tech: disabled
CPU tm function: disabled
execute disable bit: disabled

(if something missing all settings are disabled in cpu settings page in bios

FSB: 460
DDR: 920

memory manual

CPU voltage 1.4-1.58v
CPU PLL: 1.5-1.6
FSB termination: 1.18-1.22
DRAM: 2.1v (default voltages g.skill 1066 5-5-5-15 kit)
nb voltage: 1.2-1.34
sbridge: 1.1-1.2v
pcie voltage: 1.5v

load line calibration: disabled
CPU spread spectrum disables
PCIe spread spectrum disabled

all other setting are auto. With that settings i dont get to orthos running over 20seconds. Any tips, questions, help are very welcome, i hope somebody can help

EDIT: Know i running with 1.38vcore to 4.4ghz, but i really hope i get more: Orthos running

[Zeus]

You want to run the cpu at 500x10 for every day usage? I want to make love to Christina Aquilera. I guess we both have got to be patient.

Sorry mate but 500x10 on water ain't gonna happen. Just settle for 4.4 4.5GHz, any good E8600 will make that on watercooling.

The batch number can be found on the carton box if you still have it, to the best of my knowledge there's no program to look up the batch.

[Eeky NoX]

You're a bit pessimistic Zeus, I used to run @500x9 on air and temperature was'nt goin thru 75°C with an ambiant temp of 30°C so...

I'm just gonna check what he can do with some cold (SS -40°C /1.35v)

Never reached 5Ghz under TrueBlack -_- atmo 4,9 on MIIFF but not 32M stable with that Q822A435 (vid:1.1625)

I loose 200mhz on UD3P rahhh!! but nice ram clocking compared to the ROG mobo

[LassiVV]

Maybe i am crazy, but i thought that e8600 work bigger clock speed than e8500. I overclocked e8500 with boxed air 4.5ghz and with water 4.9ghz, very sad if e8600 is that bad

I sell that and buy e8500 If i overclocked e8600 10x440fsb = 4.4ghz compared i overclocked same prosessor 9x 489fsb = 4.4ghz, can i get more power to ratio9 setting?

I think there's a day and night difference between 9x500 and 10x500. Or do you mean i'm pessimistic about the Christina Aguilera thing?

Hell, you're right, she's on my answering machine asking what the hell is keeping me so long!

I don't think the 9 multi will gain you any more overclock.

It's not fair to say the E8600 is bad, i think you just happend to have one very good E8500!
