At the least RM1k... My guess

the lowest end will be below 1k

My rig on 4ghz

During Test


After Test

X58 mobo rm1k++ too

im oso in need of GTL value explaination here
i did read the edgeofstability
and oso a few other dk t2rs threads
but i was wondering wats the difference between the 3 GTL option below

gtl seems a new thg to learn for me...so, btw, cstkl1, tpower a good board? well..i tnk the vcore adjustment range its abit high

well its a damn good board..
price.. quality .. heck i still love the manual.. this board has been really well designed ...
but again its a mid range board...

so as with anything.. theres just so much it can do.. and also i remind u it depends on the proc/ure ability etc.. how good ure rams are binned etc..
so far its the only board i actually managed to get 566fsb stable..
really trying hard with the m2f.. its possible.. also.. just need a little more work..

so the question is vague dude..


secret of the acients.. want to test ure GTL/FSB Voltage...

try orthos priority 10 custom MEM at max running fft 4096...for C2d 6mb.for around 1 hour.
nowadays very easy to test stability

u want to pass any crap..
try linpack 64 50 runs at max mem in diagnostic mode..
the previous orthos setting
and memtest windows in diagnostic mode.. must load atleast 95% of ure available ram.. for 4gb 100% would do .. cause its nearly 1 hour for that.. and 2gb kits atleast 200%..
total time take to run all this test

3-4 hours only...
and it will be superstable and then u can do 100-200 linpack64 for ure own assurance.

Hey guys,

I was thinking of upgrading my e6300 to e8400 but I dont wanna change my mobo (using 965P DS4 atm). Will that affect the overclockability of the e8400? Has anyone tried this setup before? Please advice...

firstly,
ur motherboard doesnt support the E8400 so u have to change ur motherboard 1st.

I'm very sure that 965P-DS4 support the 45nm processors. I went to Gigabyte website to confirm that and I saw in forums, people running E8400 on 965P-DS3 even. -.-

check mobo revision first... for example, only rev 3.3 of 965P-DS3 support 45nm & 1333 fsb cpu

yep and if ur is revision 1.0 it cannot be used together.

i got a noob question, should i set the TJ max in real yemp 105C or 100C, for e8500.

check with the latest coretemp 1st about ur TJMax.

default core temp is 100C, real temp is 105C

so set ur realtemp to 100 then.

okay, got it, thanks for ur help.

New version RealTemp should have Tjmax set to 100 by default.
Am I wrong??

New RealTemp is getting more and more complicated

all 45nm suppose to be 100c for TJM
