Wolfdale E8400 ES 5ghz 1m Vapo LS

[SIOUX]

Just some fast small tests of the wolfdale cpu. dont mind the spi times...not tweaked yet need to format harddrive, as this is a older install.

These chips sure got potential

Setup :

WinXP SP1
ASUS P5E WS PRO ( no mods)
Wolfdale E8400 ES 1.68v VAPOchill LS
Crucial PC8500 4-4-4-4 2.3v
Galaxy 8800 Ultra (stock cooler no mods)
Northq 1000w Giant Reactor

Better cooling and modded board coming on


1m

3d01 could proberly run this bench at 4900+, but i was dead tired today.

Nice CPU!

My 8400 is not that good. 1.65V about 4.7GHz 3D, 4.9GHz 1M. Even the 9650 I had is better, but thats life

[Charles Wirth]

Really nice bus speed, looks promising.

[SIOUX]

Yes..these chips are screeming for better cooling. But i need more FSB. My board do 570fsb benchstable, so i need to mod it before i can go with better cooling

[BeardyMan]

lol i believe boards will be limiting factor with these cpus

[DFI pit bull]

Nice chip SIOUX, just wondering if your vapo is modded or stock, and what your temps were.

[over@locker886]

not bad.

Keep on benching dude!

[M.Beier]

Impressive...
Im looking VERY much forwards to receiving my E8500 ES(isnt even ordered, delayed by... ), seeing these E8400 going at such speeds, Im getting a VapoLS next weekend, tired of the Mach II mounting... (tho' its very fine tuned with R404a)

Kenneth, can you recommend any boards, or is it not worth considering strichtly ? Im on a very low budget, and have a very neat pair of DDR3 2x1GB kit... Will the 700kr. Gigabyte combo board do fine...? (have another board for benching, but not mine... Teaming up this time)

Ohh, one more thing, care to help me out a bit..? Phone/MSN or such..? Im counting on George helping me a bit, I need a memtool..
- I'd really like your help, experience wise, with reg-tweaking...

EDIT:
Kenneth, move on to DDR3.... If needed, you can borrow mine, its not D9GTS, but D9GTR, but they should do quite fine...

Not bad for a chip that's gonna cost less than 200 bucks!

Personally, i'd go with E8500, just in case i't won't reach as high busspeeds as this one.

Thanks for sharing, i'm really looking forward to the release of affordable 45nm chips!

Well, I might have bad contacts, but, I've heard 450$ when I asked half a month ago... But being on top is expensive...

You heard well..

no..its just a stock Vapo LS BIOS couldnt show me temps, and did not have any software for it as well. So i cant tell you temps.

this was just a qiuck test of the E8400. but after this i will deffenetly try it on dice, when i get my board modded

have a 9650 comming wich i will torture next week under some better cooling on CPU and GPU

very nice mate,these new chips are amazing.

and great BUS speed on that Asus ,mine P5E can not handle 550+

Thx Have you tryed booting with 540, and then take it slowly up. mine dosnt boot up if i set BIOS to more than 540. but then if i use software from there, i can go to 570

[giraffen]

Very nice Sioux Pretty good Fsb you got

LoL, maybe in February...

[lazy]

that is a nice spd
wish the retail ones can perform good

[Nosfer@tu]

Nice work m8

Maybe I should jump in the car and we could try and kill my 9650 or I migth be able to get a 9770

[s0lid]

Man those new 45nm cpus got overclocking potential

Nosfer i think than u might not make it
Core2s are unbreakable

[ZoLKoRn]

Very nice chip and look good for FSB it's very really interest.

I don't remember how much fsb i used to boot up but I've tried many ways to break that wall and 550 was only good for screen
thx and keep pushing

Sure..you are alwayes welcome i got a QX9650 here monday aswell, so plenty of silicone

[Nosfer@tu]

Im down with the Flue now
Dont know why or from what, but both I and my girl have around 39-40 c, we fill sour in the lower back region, headhackes and somekind of throat infection

Im in Judland from the 21 to the 26 of December...
Hope we could spend a weekend before that maybe ??

[Solarfall]

nice scores there SIOUX keep pushing it you never know there might be a few more mhz left in that cpu of yours
