Great chip. Ran SuperPi to 1M at 3915Mhz 1.68v (13.250s) Orthos Blend, sorry, as I was testing whole system stability. Orthos is still running but wanted to post so there is info available for the newer chips being released.

Just ignore super pi, i had'nt run it in this screenshot. :rolleyes:

Just a note. I was on the Gigabyte website recently and it seemed that it needed its BIOS updated to F11B in order to regonize the E4400 chip (or improved compatibility?). I noticed you listed you BIOS at F10. Not sure if this will make a differance of not, but something you may want to look into. Cheers.
 
really quick question

i come from the land of athlon64 and now back to athlonXP. just wondering with the current price of DDR2, i might be getting 4 sticks of geil 800 44412 ram.

my question is, have people noticed significantly worse overclocking performance with 4 sticks of ddr2 compared to 2 sticks (we couldnt run 4 sticks at 1t or overclock well with dfi nf4 lanparty).

just because im going to go e6600/nice motherboard/4gb ram/8800GTX (with a view towards q6600 in august),

any advise would be appreciated - and is it correct to assume intel motherboards do not allow you to run the ram on a divider?

in short yes you will notice WORSE overclocking performance with 4 sticks of ddr2... thats based on my opinion i had the DFI LanParty NF4SLI-DR board... had 4 sticks of 512mb... couldnt overclock that well compared to just two sticks...
 
yeah in a way you will get reduced overclocking, if you see some of the crazy ocing guys they do it with usually only 1 stick of ram.

Deleted: None.

Editted: Speed of E4400 on database header.

First post of thread reflects current changes. Please REFRESH! (database and summary image will change)

Athlonxp you have three entrys already, which one would you like me to delete? to add your E6420 ?

However interesting the code, the thermal paste between the IHS and the core must suck just as much! I get insane temps with the L702 chip, and I just picked up a Q641 A296 E4300 and it runs bunches cooler (72C 1.425V), and seems to clock higher (just put it in my P5B Deluxe, fired it up at 1.425V 3204MHz and seems to be Orthos stable...)

For reference, here are the highest stable OCs I got from the L702 chip at specific voltages:
volts | highest stable [4hr Orthos]
1.475 3268 (scorching 83C in CoreTemp 0.95, highest ever recorded was 90C (or 10 below Tjunction))
1.425 3177 (82C)
1.375 3078 (77C) note massive reduction in heat!!
1.3375 3000 (71C: what my Q641 chip is running at, at 1.425V!)
1.325 stock NOT stable at 3GHz!! (This is a very good indicator of whether your chip is going to be an OC monster!)

OC results to be up for the new chip in a few days, I intend to go up to 1.525 this time, given how much cooler this chip runs. Does the new chip get its own entry?

Attention: videomasterz

I find the reported voltage's to be unreliable as no voltage proof is given in pictures besides what cpu-z reports. Cpu-z reported voltage is lower than actual BIOS set voltage, even during an orthos stress test. For example, I set my voltage to 1.55V in BIOS, however, cpu-z reports 1.238V when idle, and 1.472V under Small FFTs orthos stress test. I'm sure many users reported cpu-z voltage while others report true voltage. I think it would be beneficial if reviewers would complete their results with an actual BIOS voltage. I'm sure there is a software that mirrors or reports actual BIOS voltage. Just a thought. :)

yes i understand your concern...that some maybe reporting false voltage claims.. but the majority of users that have their entrys in the database understand that im asking for the voltage within the bios and not just cpu-z.. i should make the first post a bit clearer... also you can say this is kinda of based on the "honor" system.. which means users that want their entry in the db would have to be honest, and make "honest claims" so if a user claims 1.4volts and his e6600 is overclocked up to 3.8ghz... then i would trust the user and enter it.. no questions asked... its just hard to prove what voltage you are really at.. like you said cpu-z reports differently on load and on idle...

The BIOS voltage is the one that's unreliable. CPU-Z reports a more accurate dynamic reading from what I've researched. That's how a lot of people found out about vcore drops under load. There is a bug in current versions of CPU-Z that cause the voltage display to be in error at or above 1.5v. If you go over 1.5v it will actually roll back to a 1.2v displayed. Hopefully that will be fixed in the next version of the program.

Your screenshot doesn't make any sense... why is CPU-Z at 3200 while the others are at 3600?

Good effort, but you need 4 hours of Orthos for submission.
 
i think its something to do with me dropping my multi to 8 instead of having it at the default 9,cpuz is picking up the correct speed 8x400 but coretemp and orthos isnt.

i`ll try for 4 hours then edit my post,hopefully it`ll go for 4!

You're absolutly correct on why it reads the 3.6 instead of 3.2. When you lower the multiplier orthos and a couple other programs read it as still having the stock multiplier. CPU-Z is the most reliable for readings like that atm.

Look at mine, mine says 4.6ghz instead of 3.6ghz :D
 
Im stress testing my overclock, C2D E6600 - @ 3200 (400x8), cpu-z reports 3200 but orthos says its testing at 3599 - what gives?

what's up with the stepping on this E4300?

L702? most of the e4300s are Qsomething

do you guys know anything about it

is it newer or older or from a different plant or .....?

nearly all of the conroes are Lsomething​

It's a different plant obviously and it may be possible it's a neutered Conroe.

We already know that the first letter is the plant identification. L and Q are both in Malaysia and make different lines. However, we don't know if the lines is making specific cores or just C2D with different yields.

i retract my statement regarding your knowledge - thanks
 
To help ya, here's the intel code breakup :

Example: L149A463-0726

1st letter or digit= plant code.....

0= Costa Rica
3= Costa Rica
1= Philippines
R= Philippines
7= Philippines
9= Malaysia
Q= Malaysia
L= Malaysia
8= Ireland
Y= Ireland
6= Arizona

2nd digit= Year of production (2001)

3rd & 4th digits= week (49th)

A463= some kind of traceability number

0726= Serialization code
 
hum so it comes from a different plant in Malay and appears to be more rare

wonder if they are put in OEM systems or something
 
here's the one I have coming (e4300)

L649F579

so L plant week 49 of 2006 w/ code F579

lol
