For the new Xeons, they are somewhat identical to our E8200/E8400
In the US where some of them couldn't get the E8400, they went for the Xeon and it overclocks just as well.

Just like the E8400's, they can boot up at very high clock speed and benchable but it's a little challenging to get it stable

I'm running 1.4125V on my E8200 since day one and it's still working though

True enough and the processor would've probably been sold before it even died

Use Orthos instead and 1 instance is enough to test both cores.

Approximately 90% of the people uses Orthos and this is observed from all other forums also. If you want it to fail easier, set the priority to 9 or 10.

baok, my E8200 runs perfectly fine and stable at 4.01Ghz (502 x 8). Here is my setup and all voltages as per BIOS:

Foxconn Mars P11 Bios
* Vcore 1.400V
* NB volt 1.344V

2 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix PC6400 13-4-4-4
* Vdimm 2.160V

No problem baok Maybe it's something else and not the CPU. I was previously using IFX-14 and now on water cooling.

For a mobo, quad, 8800GT, 2 HDD's and some fans, you don't even need 610W. If you're tight on budget, get the Gigabyte Odin 550W or Silverstone ST56F.

I'm using Odin 550W and I have approximately 10 fans plus 8800GT, water cooling pump, etc. It's a good buy since it's modular with sleeved cables

It depends what fan you are using and even the CM690 can support 6 fans by default

I'm using the Cosmos now and the case itself can already take 3-4 fans, radiator takes 2 fans, I have another 2 blowing onto the 8800GT, 2 on the RAM's It was noisy previously but now I've changed everything to Cooler Master's silent fan and with the help of the dampeners on Cosmos's side panel, there's no issues. Nowadays I can happily leave my computer on when I sleep

Actually there's no such thing as very high flow fan but still silent All those high performance fans are noisy so that is why we need a fan controller/rheobus.

If you want to control 3-4 fans then a fan controller does the job better. You wouldn't want to fill up your PCI slots for seperate controller for each fans

1.632Vcore? I believe you don't need that much for a 4Ghz

I need 1.4125V for 4.02Ghz (502x8). However, I need to top up my NB voltage to 1.344V

I guess they haven't banned you yet. Anyway, there are screenshots on my signature in case you're blind

My link was always there and I don't have to take it off You don't have to edit your post 2-3 times when you make wrong statements. It's alright, you're a well known "hot air cum empty vessel".

I don't have to prove anything to an empty hot air The link is always there and besides, I started overclocking when you were drinking milk. I've reported the thread and you can either continue to post irrelavently or get back into the topic.

If it makes you feel better then sure, I like and enjoy claiming without results

Actually Orthos is already good enough to stress test your CPU. If it fails after some hours, it might be due to heat. Which test are you running? SmallFFT or Blend?
