Does anyone knows between E8400 and E8500, which is a better overclocker?

It's not the same sometimes and one can be a lot better than the other, even the default clock speed is only 100Mhz difference.

QUOTE(alieamin @ Jan 7 2008, 07:21 PM) depend on ur luck too I think the wall mostly exists on older processors. If we see the current/newer ones, many tend to get a good OC out of it. I believe getting a wolfdale would be the right choice  some proc have a 'wall' which its ocable limited to certain speed....and maybe factor of batch and stepping.  |

QUOTE(a1098113 @ Jan 7 2008, 09:39 PM) so bro claw claw, lets challenge e6750 and wolfsdale lor.. see who win I don't have money for that chip now but I'll surely grab when its affordable  the only difference is architecture and cache size.. by 2MB.. Maybe those which would like to upgrade could sell their current C2D for me cheaply (with installment if possible)  |

I think you guys should wait a bit because officially, the Wolfdale has not been launched in our market. The actual pricing would come during the launch.

Anyone here uses IP35 Pro? I'm thinking of getting it since I can do RAID on that board too.

QUOTE(lichyetan @ Jan 10 2008, 09:41 PM) speedfan same reading as core temp 0.95, 0.96 report 10c higher... Core Temp 0.96 obviously have problems reading our E21xx temperature. Not only it is a lot higher but it's not the same compared to BIOS too  |

My E2140? The most I can go is 3.48Ghz benchable. Anything beyond that I still haven't got it Orthos stable. Why not you sell your Foxconn Mars to me so I can give it a shot?

I read in other forums that many people manage to overclock and capture a screenshot at 4Ghz and above BUT it is not a stable setting. Until I try it out myself, I'm still uncertain

Most people comment based on their reading (not experience) so it's hard to tell what's true and what's not
Overclocking to get into Windows with a SuperPI screenshot is not considered as stable. From the way I look at it, 4Ghz should be easy considering it's only a mild increase from the default clock speed BUT we'll never know if we have a dud CPU.There are just as many Wolfdale users not being able to get their E8400 stable at 4Ghz. |

QUOTE(lichyetan @ Jan 16 2008, 02:25 PM) ya, actually to get stable OC, we must run through prime test for both core at least 8 hours for stability, not just running SuperPI... the best is priming for 24hours... I understand that. My point is that not all E8400 are 4Ghz stable from what I read. I'm not sure how true it is but am sharing what I see from other forums. It's good to have that in mind so that people don't have a wrong expectation that all E8400 can run 4Ghz+ daily. |

QUOTE(lichyetan @ Jan 16 2008, 07:40 PM) ya i get it, like my case lo... my e2140 need bout 1.5vcore just to run 3ghz... kucingfight and goldfries e2140 can reach 3.2ghz at such low vcore... and also ur e2140 OC quite well as well... so its depends on steppings and batch... It's luck I guess. I have another E2140 lying around but I'm lazy to swap CPU to test out - too much of work involved  |

QUOTE(OC4/3 @ Jan 18 2008, 10:53 PM) Proccesor cannot go further but ram can go DDR1056. I've had the same issue and tried almost every single thing The best way is to put in another chip to see if it hangs/boot up at the same point. From there, we can conclude if it's a board or CPU issue. |

If I were you, I'll spend on the new 45nm instead of the quads. You should get a better HSF is you intend to overclock - more voltage leads to added heat

QUOTE(DevilMan @ Feb 3 2008, 05:28 PM) Mars better than IP35 Pro dude? Depends which area we're talking about. 500FSB is a lot easier with MARS than IP35-PRO but IP35-PRO has more voltages settings and better board layout Hmm, quad has better benchies but I am not sure in the real life application though. |

maranello55, you can just try bit by bit. Normally you can already OC by adding some FSB without having to increase the voltages.
v1rtual, when you lower your multi and maintain the same FSB (420Mhz), is it stable? If it's not, the motherboard voltages or RAMs are having issues, not the CPU. If it's stable, move the multiplier back to 8 x 420 and increase Vcore. 1.425V isn't a lot because after the vdroop, it's probably ~ 1.35 |
