another feature missing on the e8400 vs e6850
the enchanced halt state is not as advance.

at idle the e6850 is cooler.

so i guess id sell my conroe and go for the wolfsdale instead. hmm, thanks irangan bro and cstkl1:) hehe.

Hmm so this DFI board, anyone here got any experience with the X38s? coz my eyes are on either the EVGA or Asus

hmmm initially thought of not posting but what the heck

oh yeah this was using dumb cooler and a cheap ram.

Proc:E8400 Q746A332@ 3.6ghz 1.15v
Mobo: Asus Maximus Formula SE
Ram: OCZ Gamer Gold XTC - PC2-6400 CL5 @ 2.1v

[attachmentid=374884]

if this is not a good batch then i have no idea what is..

so far as i can tell this are the voltages for this batch

Stock voltage = 1.09

400x8.5=3.4@1.1v (i think u can say stock voltage.. i couldnt do less 0.01v on the maximus)
400x9.0=3.6ghz@1.15v

Settings for the rest of the voltages : Lowest value.

cant attempt 4ghz yet till i have my sweet rams return back from rma..

damn it at last...but some how i cant see the image la bro...hmm so temptation,damnit im officially broke..lol

, Katmai?

damn... love that voltage... 1.15v

damn thats a damn low voltage lolol. By the way whats the mulitplier range for the wolfsdale series?

9x for e8400 ... it can go +0.5 multiplier...

nice.. with a little touch of 0.5 lolol. hmm what board is perfect for this wolfsdale?

some p35 boards have some issues with it... Foxconn Mars works nicely with this proc... see the review by coolice... here

yeah and all this on passive cooling

Hmmm... My E8400 idle temp is lower than all my previous Intel processor (E6850, E66, x68 and so on). I thought they have implemented those latest power saving stuff, something called CIA2. No?

Oh ya.. you using stock cooler?

U better use your current processor unless you into benching cuz you will find much difference for the upgrade.

If u are using DDR2, DFI LP x38 is one of the best in the market for OC. But if DDR3, go for Maximus Extreme or P5E3 Deluxe.

Not bad result.. Mind to post the idle/load temp for it?

Awaiting for your 4ghz daily run.

Currently I can run my 4ghz stable at 1.35vcore (during full load is 1.33). Again, cant exceed 4.2ghz due to my board

8.5, 9, 9.5

x48?

cstkl and irangan mind to share the temps for e8400

What's your core temperature at that settings? You're using stock cooler right?

bro hes using WC...

Cooling: D-Tek Fuzion CPU Block + Accelerator Nozzle Kit | Swiftech MCW60 GPU Block | Swiftech MCP655B Water Pump | Swiftech MCRES-Micro Reservoir |
Thermochill Radiator PA120.3 + 3xPanaflo 120x38mm; M Series | Premium Distilled Water + PT-Nuke Biocide | Masterkleer PVC Tubing; 7/16" ID | AllnGap Dual 60mm RAM Cooler

AirCond
22'C Idle
30'C Load

Non AirCond
26'C Idle
35'C Load

All these temp is based on 4ghz @ 1.35vcore and watercooling.

Using watercooling. Never take out / use my stock cooler to preserve the resell value.

Oh ya... I cant detect the temp using 0.96 Coretemp or my Everest 4.2 Ultimate. Its temp reading will just stuck at 46/25 and remains the same even during full load.

So using gigabyte software for the temp reading. Probably not that accurate.

passed 8 hours test @1.3vCore @333x9...

Real nice temps. Yeah, my gigabyte software also not the same as core temp 0.95.4. It reads the CPU temp lower by about 4-5'c.....

Gigabyte GA-P35 DS3 F11 BIOS, Intel Core 2 Duo E4400, Kingston KVR 667 512MBX2, Gigabyte G-Power Pro CPU cooler..

Attached thumbnail(s)

Little,quite good oc.Damm,cycom faster come in stock so i can do some 4ghz(500x8) 24/7 bench and maybe try to broke 9's on air(Artic enough?)

u getting the e8400?...
