Nice OC Mark.



You got another one?! :eek:


Hm... videomasterz, will you be including the Pentium Dual Cores based on the Core2 into this DB? Like the E2140/E2160/E2180/E2200/etc?
Click to expand...


sure why not :) I'll add them in too... I need some time to organize the db a bit though getting kinda messy for the stats page... TOO! Many mobos to list now that support socket775! crazy!!

my e6600 seems so stale now :( maybe time to upgrade to a 8400! :D

I can't get anywhere NEAR that stability at those voltages. at 1.395 in my BIOS (which usually results in 1.37 according to CPU-Z in windows, I can orthos for 20 minutes or so....UGH. How do I get 4ghz at such a low voltage....

mine is sittin at 4ghz also at vcore 1.28 idle and 1.24 full load (accordinly to cpu-z), tested up to 8 hours on orthos small ffts

3dMark scoring would have been higher "56k" if I was not on such a high resolution across two monitors.
P.S I'm running 8GB of RAM on there :)

Is it just me, or does anyone with an Abit IP35 series have to bump up their voltages a lot for their E8400s compared to others?

I mean, I can't get stable at 3.8 Ghz with a voltage of 1.35
Although I'm good at 3.6 with 1.25 volts running through it
*shrugs*

I have the Abit IP35 PRO w/ E8400 and I can do a 430MHz FSB (3.87Ghz) with 1.275v easily. But you're right, it's like theres a wall there. I really have to push the voltage a lot to get it over that hump.

Initially I did have problems getting it to 3.87Ghz at that low voltage but some of the guys on another thread helped me out. I'm using 4 sticks of Crucial 1066Mhz RAM that is suppose to run at 2.0v. They told me that when they switched from XP to Vista they had to up their RAM voltage a couple notches to get things stable. I bumped my RAM voltage up to 2.2v and things got a lot more stable for me.;)

Whoa, 1.275? That's pretty good, I'm doing 3.8 on 1.32 right now. I've tried the RAM thing but, maybe it's just my chip. Ah well :(

Have yet to touch the RAM timings- all set to "Auto" in BIOS (rated "stock" timings are 5-5-5-15).
RAM voltage set to 2.0v and CPU core upped to 1.280, all other voltages left stock.

This is my first Intel system- just graduated from Opty180/s939- and still coming to grips with the BIOS options.
Sweet chip though...hope to break into the 10's in SuperPI soon.

4302-1.504v.jpg
 
Just throwing this up because it surprised me so.

Flashed to the new Gigabyte F12 BIOS- only apparent change is the ".5 multiplier" option- and was considering where to go next with my chip when I recalled some talk about a "hole" in the FSB that seems to sit around 450 or so.

I wondered how deep that hole might be and decided to try 8 x 500, just kind of randomly picked it out but the resulting numbers had a pleasing symmetry to them...nice round 4000MHz clock speed, RAM exactly at it's 1000MHZ advertised speed and a rated FSB of 2000 even.
Figured it might boot to desktop but not much more.

Well, it did boot and seemed OK so I set up an Orthos run and left to run some errands.
This is what I came home to...
1cdc6e16.jpg


Note the vCore.
It's set to 1.275v in BIOS so there's some droop under load (Orthos reports an idle voltage of 1.280, so there's a bit of inaccuracy everywhere it seems) but this particular chip seems to thrive at lower voltages.
Very odd.

Also, my temp sensors seem to be "loosening up" or something.
When I first got the chip a few weeks ago, it would NOT read below 35°c, regardless of the ambient.
I froze my tail off with a window open only to see the temp remain stubbornly fixed.
Now, under more normal conditions- i.e., window closed, me comfy- idle runs a more realistic 26-28°c...much closer to what I would have expected with effective watercooling.

Next I think I'm going to try lowering the vCore again- maybe 1.25v- and see what happens.
Meanwhile I'll enjoy the warm and fuzzy feeling that a 500FSB gives me...
 
Update: I was able to reach 3.3 after updating bios but not able to go higher than that.
