STOP TEMPTING MEEEEEEE

I run 1.450 stable @ 4.0 Ghz no problem. If I did have a better means of cooling such as ronedogg's setup. I would go with higher...

In all honesty and this is personaly me. I try to avoid anything over 1.5v for me.

On both my e8400's I got 4.0 ghz @ 1.450v

okay...so another kick at the can with ocing....currently the specs are as follows...

Core Speed 3604mhz
Multiplier 9.0
Bus Speed 400mhz
Rated FSB 1601.6mhz
Vcore 1.224v

Temps reading high @59C and 57C after 15min of OCCT


any suggestions anyone?

maverick, what are you using for a heatsink?

Xnigmatek SDT 1283...It rivals with the TRUE...so temps bother me..however i got the guys at the local shop to install since i struggled too much with the push pins..and im wondering how much of my AS5 they used..i just took the side off and pushed down on the tower..and could hear the TIM squish away...they installed it weeks ago...added another 120mm fan to the optical drive cage...brought the cpu temps down to 47 cores at 57-54 58-56

i still stick by my freezer 7 pros. rite now im idle at 28C on load it goes to 40c. with a 2.4ghz stock to 3.24 ghz oc
i tried all the other coolers out there. well not all but a bunch. and them the guys at mb sudgested that i get a freezer 64 (back when i was still messing with amd. i dunno what i was thinkin) and i have never bought any other type of cooling untill the peltier

here are the temps on a cool summer night...the window fan is blowing right down on the case....

Okay, heres a small update...

been playing around with case configuration, and cable management...etc..so i moved my HDD up to the top 2.5" drive bay(where the floppy should be) dropped my temps almost 5c cpu&system, and dropped cores&gpu about 2c so i guess there was a hot spot building

right now i am running orthos full load getting temps of

33 system
52 Cpu
31 HDD
58 core0
56 core1
cpu voltage is at 1.24v
memory is running at 1:1 400mhz 2.1v

Personal experience and me having a TON of it. Do not Overvolt +1.6v especially with improper cooling,

umm..

My example for 4005mhz AIR.

9X Multiplier
1.46v
Prime 95 Stable 28 hrs. Turned it off. No errors.

core0= 51
core1= 52
core= 43

Not fucking bad...

Now to install my new latest and greatest and try it =)

cya soon!

Good job on that

great job on the overclock

altho i do see that chip hitting 4.5ghz stable
just a suggestion

now if you wanted to get into TEC Water cooled system you can hit 5ghz with that chip just dont let the voltage get over 1.725

or you can always bring it to me and ill over clock it for ya

clarke,

When are we going to see some benches of the rig in your sig?

just as soon as i get home

friday night ill post the untouchable numbers
i also have to order a few more items for the comp
aswell i will have the comp for about a week then its off to texas for some fine tuning
for the cpu's

okay, right now i am 1 1/2 hrs stable @ 3996mhz using 1.362v temps peak at 45cpu and 60-63 on both cores...

That looks good, got a window open to reduce those temps a little?

window is open yeah, with a 200mm right over the cpu it really helps systrm temps have stayed at 29c im pretty comfortable how things are running now, debating to myself on how long i should let prime run. do u think those temps are high skiman?
