On SS right?

[Garrett]

I guess so, if that's air or water I'd be amazed lol

Gonna try some higher speeds soon... I'm just a bit busy now

[Chri$ch]

lowest vcore for 4Ghz?

[avrionis]

On SS right?

HI AriciU

I almost have the same setup. Can you tell me some of you BIOS settings and temps (with which sw coretemp or ??) you get with orthos or something?

[Fpat]

On SS right?

Yes of course

Another bench to 5.2ghz

[X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE]

lowest vcore for 4Ghz?

Very nice. Water or air? Can i also see a 20 minute orthos run as well.

[Achill3uS]

lowest vcore for 4Ghz?

go to hell
my E8400 need 1.36v for 4GHz stable
but max fsb around ~550
anyway Q744A suxx

Hmm mine needs 1.45v set in bios (1.408 at idle and 1.38v load) on Gigabyte p35 DS3 <-- mine is also Q744a

[ztop]

lowest vcore for 4Ghz?

e8200 fpo\Batch: Q745A705 Pack date: 01/11/08 ...right?? temp h20?

[Origin_Unknown]

received mine today not had a chance to use it yet (ive a hang over )

anywho spec;

e8500
S-Spec; SLAPK
FPO#; Q745A554
Version #; E27437-001
max volt; 1.225v
pack date; 01/10/08

is that a good batch number? and the max volts cant be right?

[Chri$ch]

@ X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE

its on water, i think coretemp read wrong temps because the water is cold (~roomtemp).

@ Achill3uS

the E8200 (Q745Axxx) can do max. ~530FSB

but y sucks Q744A? My second E8200 is Q744Axxx and this can do 4Ghz @ 1.20v
VCore

@ ztop

right

@ Origin_Unknown

Q745Axxx is best batch i had (and i had Q744A / Q745A / Q747A)

Q747A isnt good, the E8200 with this batch need 1.35v for 4Ghz

[Retro]

lowest vcore for 4Ghz?

Man, that's almost undervolted
Even more impressive being an 8200

[X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE]

@ X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE

its on water, i think coretemp read wrong temps because the water is cold (~roomtemp).

Yes coretemp is like that for me as well bad reading never goes below 42c. Max i can get Vcore down to is 1.200v on air 4ghz. You have lower vid then me so you have better chip.

ah so it seems i might have a good one? ill post my VID when i bother to install it lol. what about the 1.225v MAX part?

[Mickey Padge]

Just received a E8500 Q746A363, I will see how it goes after work

I think the 746's are, for the most part, quite good?

[lowfat]

Received my E8400 yesterday. Doesn't seem to be doing well as some, but good enough for me.

So far running Orthos @ 4GHz, 1.425V. Will boot to Windows @ 4.5GHz, 1.45V, but locks up after a few seconds of Orthos.

[Origin_Unknown]

btw, whats the most volts you guys would put through these? 1.45? even though the box says 1.2v?

[giorgos th.]

quick testing with high V...
Aquamark is with the E8500 at 4806mhz!!!! with 1.65Vcore..

That's impressive, particularly being Orthos stable @ 4GHz.
What's your Batch# on the E8400?
I just got one from NCIX, Batch Q740A555T Pack Date 12/20/07.
Going to try to get it installed this weekend, time permitting.
Great job on that Stacker by the way
