both are correct (or maybe both are wrong coz termo apps really not that good)...for the speedfan, u'd need to add 15c offset to make it correct...that's why the 15c diff of speedfan from coretemp...
just repeating the fact that has been buried in this thick-pages thread...

yupe...as cst said, this has been around last year for the 65nm i.e. 1066 (266fsb) proc...by taping pin, the proc has a default fsb of 333, quadpumped to 1333fsb...45nm proc is bornt...so to speak la...
better use a good one, if use cheapo selefon (spelling) tape, might have some 'air' after some time...might short other pins...

btw, i also wanna know how does this q9450 fair against q6600...have been looking around lyp but found none (later found out that it has yet to be in MY shop )...so, thinking of changing but if it not that significant, then no need lor

on the contrary...it showed the sign os stability.when u orthos with small fft, all (almost) cpu resource went to orthos...thus basically none left for the screensaver which actually require a lot of resource of cpu and ram...and the screensaver only able to 'resume' once the cpu is back...after all this, the orthos still running without error, then it showed that ur setting is stable...

what a droop u got there bro? and with that kind of droop, ur proc still can do 4G, i'd think it's from a very good batch of chips

Will be in the next 2 weeks or so...but it will be the elite version one

prolly ur IHS is convex on one side...core 0 and core 2 are rougly similar, same goes for core 1 and core 3...so, maybe on core 0 and core 2 side, it is slightly convex...less contact compared to the other side. just an idea.

maybe if u could give a bigger picture so people can read the readings on ur screenie better plus it would be good if u could fire up coretemp or any other temp software, so people can have some idea what is the temp like running at 3.2G. and how long did u run prime95/occt before it failed, at what vcore, what vdimm used, blabla...u just cant simply paste ur superpie screenie and said that u cant get to 3.2G and expect people to help u...they (coz i'm no sifu either ) need the info to help u.
so, good luck

mmm...thinking of letting go my quaddie and get meself a e8600...do u guys think it's a good move...

my E8500 E0, running at 4Ghz @ 1.25vbios/1.232vdroop...vdrop didnt notice...idle around 43-44c...load at 60c...the room has no ac...
is it a normal temp for 45nm running at that speed/voltage?

Source :: http://processorfinder.intel.com/List.aspx...2558&SearchKey=

ran a test early this morning on my E8500 E0 at 4Ghz...still running...so far, so good...gonna use this for 24/7 setting...vcore at bios is 1.30v..temp is a bit high but i think still in the green zone.
is it ok for a E8500 E0 with that speed at that vcore?


*****updated*******
done 8hrs of orthos...

will try that later...i've just pumped in 1.3v and run the test ...so urs is at 1.26v rite..izzit bios or vdrop/vdroop?

wow! very nice chip u got there...what's the FPO and where did u buy it?

5G result???

I'm still testing my E8500 at 4G, lowering the vcore...currently running Prime95 at 1.275vbios/1.264vdrop...no vdroop on my mobo...quite surprise.
already passed 7hrs when i was leaving to work this morning at around 7am...hopefully no prob.
later on will only see how hi can it go...5G is a no-no on air i guess...

at least u touched the 5G mark...i can only dream i guess

if that is the case, then i dont dare to use IBT anymore. mmm...on 2nd tot, i never used IBT ...only OCCT/Prime95/Orthos and yet if uncleweb is correct, +10c is bad...wouldnt want to kill my proc yet...not till Nehalem came out and the price is stable for me to grab one

This post has been edited by remysix: Oct 6 2008, 12:29 PM

correct...it's +/- 10c...but we need to look at the worst case scenario...so, if u r running IBT at 76c, how can u really tell the actual core temp is 86c or 66c...if 66c, then great but if 86c...not so great, isnt it. for me, occt/prime/orthos is enuff...IBT is too extreme for me even thou it generate error faster but issit due to the proc instability or due to the heat generated passed it's standard spec...i'd rather stressing my proc at near-normal usage for long hours rather than putting it in the oven for a short while...dont know about others, but i dont think i'd be stressing my proc to that level of IBT...but then again, it's individual preference on which apps to use

btw, ur mobo got overvolt meh ...no vdrop. and, maybe ur q9550 surface has a better contact...just a slight concave/convex compared to ur E8400 which has higher degree, thus spoiling the contact between IHS and the HSF .

i second that on the GTL Ref...after finding the sweet spot of my GTL (i meant the mobo one, not my GeniTaL ), i can run my E8500 at 4Ghz wif 1.256v...the vid is 1.25v; so, quite happy with it.

This post has been edited by remysix: Oct 6 2008, 02:52 PM

well, for me, i think i got lucky on the first attempt...considering managed to stabilize at 4G wif the vcore, before that it was a no-go...didnt tried with other GTL setting thou...
to be honest, i copied from lichetan (thanks ) bios ss ... lichyetan using 62/61 but since my board does not have 61...i used 62/60 instead...so far it works for me

got back from office...the Prime is still green...
stopped the P95, 19hrs is enuff i think...


if not mistaken, only the CPU: CPU1/3 : 62 and CPU0/2 : 60

sorry, i was using lichetan bios screenie format...his bios using % format i.e. 62 which is 62% = 0.62x...in rampage bios, it would be 0.62x and 0.60x
