im saying that becos i didnt see the crucial 1066 on the memory supports lists....and i saw the mobo box says supports 1066 only by OC...that's why i am just suggesting for the possibilities due to his weird ram condition

@mfcm

thanks for the info bro... anyways do u know the their operating load temp for those who had their proc dead as well? just as precaution

woh bro..dont say ur proc hv degraded dy

@tkh
will try find it back..coz my fren pas to me bout it to read tru..forgot to bookmark it

@mfcm
i think so wor... or is it mobo problem?... cuz now need 1.39v to run 4ghz... wtf?.. proc can degrade 1 ar?...

yup..45nm proc can degrade..i wonder myb when u did 1.76v lastime

1.76v 3minutes only mah ... swt..

dats one im not sure..but my fren oredi remind me when oc..careful coz 45nm proc can degrade if overvolt perhaps it wont happen to me oso

geez... just read in XS myself.... most of them have the same sypmtoms like icemocha when having degradation... most of the time it happens when they push the vcore or fsb too high for benchmarking purpose... other than those,rumours has that stressing ur proc too long on prime or similar software will contribute to degradation as well

i think its time we take note of these factors n starts checking ur own proc for degradation by stressing on previously stable clock


btw...all these are about 45nm proc only...

nice u found it dy..sorry forgot to check back jus now..yeah seem cant oc with high vcore

damn... 45nm procs not as rock solid as 65nm eh...

Now my Proc giving me blue screen when running 4.0 Ghz on 1.392v .... Geez

I have to underclock it to 3.6 Ghz with stock vcore . (1.115v) so far no issue.

Read abt the Degradation on new wolfdale.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/248811-2...uth-degradation

Anyone Selling their Q6600???

if u have no issues running ur proc back at last stable settings on stock vcore, then the bsod is most likely to be ur ram problem instead of degradation... try give ur rams a stress test @ 445 fsb n see how it goes...

@ajaib
wahh..so fast ah..not even a week i told u bout it..now u facing prob

@ice
haha yeah 65nm i think doesnt hv this issue..but the temp abit high n oc oso quite hard..perhaps mine wont hv this issue later

Yeah... Was doing great on settings 445 fsbx9 and ram running on 2.40 multiplier.... wich gives around 1068 @5-5-5-12.

It managed running for 8 hours of Orthos CPU stress.

Then this morning, I woke up and check my Torrent down load.. (uTorrent only running)... all of the sudden.... is BSOD...

Another thread from other forum stated have to increase the northbridge and fsb voltage to stabilize, issit true?

@ajaib
mine now only can run 4ghz @ 1.39v...
crap... quaddies sucks... their multiplier is low... i heard the q9450 having problems OCing high...

miraculously, i pushed mine up to 4.2ghz with 1.46v n actually orthos for around 2 hours stable.... when i tried to check back with lower settings for degradation, i found out that my proc actually needed slightly lesser vcore to run the same clock

just sharing my findings so far...

guys,just wondering is this consider stable?Ive run orthos for 12 hours with vcore 1.5,mch and pcie voltage 1.58v and 1.95v for ram.i wanna try to push to 3.6 ghz but it seems fail with the same configuration plus i dont wanna push more vcore.Btw,im using aw9d max and elpida 667mhz ddr2 kingston ram.

Yes, finally able to hit 4ghz++ with my E8400 batch Q746A474 . Running 4.1ghz at 456x9@1.328

Hoping to go further but the temperature is quite high.
Running prime95, i am geting core1 74,core2 73 and cpu 60

nice oc bro ..btw caution with this degrade issue for 45nm proc

hi guys, have tried OC'ing my E8400 based on the guide in the reviews section by kmarc. Followed up to step 3, running prime95, but it stops testing...


screenshot of the prime95 error.

Am using a E8400, on a Gigabyte P35-DS3L, Kingston 2Gigs Ram 800mhz.

Please help! ):

Hi, I'm interested to start overclocking my PC and wanted some advice, help, suggestions and what not from you all before I start. I have no previous experience, but have been reading up on overclocking bit by bit over a year. Been waiting for a good timing to overclock.

Specs:
Windows XP SP2
Pentium 4 1.7GHz 478 Socket
Biostar U8668-d
1x512MB DDr 200 MHz (i think Apacer, or Kingston)
Radeon 9550 256MB AGP
350 or 300 watt power supply. Generic Brand.


Yes its old. Anyway I'm aiming to increase the FBS to 120 and follow the below site's example:

Question:
How do I check my temperature accurately?
After reading an article recently, it had a checklist which included things I didn't think about, namely "Component Capabilities" in that article. Is it something I should worry, seeing my current PC setup?
