Clarke I have 06 hit me up if you want it dude. You know i'm not much into this type of thing lol.

22171

2.0: 8513
3.0: 10634
CPU Score: 6258

2.0: 8824
3.0: 10970
CPU: 6447

got a new antec 900 to help the cooling a bit, gonna get this thing going now that cool weather and proper cooling is throguhout the system...

first run.



Cpu:3603.9
FSB:400mhz
Memory 1:1 400mhz
Vcore 1.240v
Gpu:Core 650mhz
Gpu Memory 1005mhz

not bad, should be able to get this cpu to 4ghz by the end of the day...then to the gpu...

great job man get her to 4ghz and try again

I agree. Clarke has done some good shit OCing and trying the latest and greatest. I admit that. I'm entirely jealous I don't have the money to do so.

But you should be able to reach 4.0 easily.

e8400's oc like a champ. you can 4.0ghz easily . voltage around 1.43 will be plenty, dont push any higher

up to 3740mhz...

cant boot into windows @ 3.97 or 4ghz..

think im gonna need more vcore. currently @1.264v in windows.

memory is doing better than i suspected. @440mhz...

gonna keep trying...

last 3dmark score was 12777

some info for ya

just make sure that you put that ram up to 2.1 volts
the NB sould be 1.4 ish
SB 1.3 1.35

also is your ram linked or unlinked?

also you are really low on the v core put that up to around 1.3875 and try booting into windows

send me a pm i have a helpfull sheet on my desk about over clocking the e8400 on air 4.3 ghz

but you need one hell of a cooler


i am oced to 4.3 @ 1.56 volts on my q9550 been running for a few days no glitches so far
ran orthoes and get a 11 second time for super pi @1m

on another note i went to tonys the other nigth and i got his Xeon chip to 3.6ghz

its been running great for the past few days

the 45nm xeons usually need less voltage to hit 4ghz, and also run cooler. the benefits of being higher binned for server environments.

The are not binned exactly. Xeon and EE processors generally come from nearer the centre of the waffer. Everyone I'm sure is familiar with the large circular disks on which the silicon is not only applied, but also strained through centrifugal forces. Impuries are forced to the outer rim of the waffer, thus cores which come from this part generally run hotter than those from more near the centre. This is why processors of higher speeds, Xeon, and some mobiles, are in short supply...there is only so many square inches near the centre where the more pure silicon can be found.

The process by which both Intel and AMD uses to determine the type and speed rating of any core is called the validation process.

Each processor is tested, depending upon the validation results, mulitpiers are laser locked, cache disabled etc, IHS applied and laser etched.

This is to the best of my knowledge.

cool, much more in depth then intel reps go lol


although the guys that do our intel tech briefs are usually not engineers, actually never. they usually do it through email now.

1.37v now, running prime...been a tough challenge and there are two things that i think may be holding back...1 is that maybe the chip i have just isnt a good oc'er, second, my ram is holding me back?...i thought it might be my psu, but i highly doubt that my system would be crapping out on a 500w earthwatts....comments, suggestions? denty what did u have your setup as, maybe give me a better guide. the only other cpu i ever oc'ed was my old athlon64 3000+ which went from 1.8ghz to 2.4ghz.

athlon-intel ocing is completely different

im gonna post the rest of my results in the overclocking section, and stop hijacking this thread..

check for my results there...
