Ya. Already called a guy named Jack. He said will be arrive early next month. Hope it not another blank promise that I received since day 1 of RMA.
Lesson learned from this Silverstone hoo-haa RMA, never buy any unpopular stuff from them again...They will give 1 damn good reason for their long RMA delay...."NO STOCK!!"
Sorry out of topic here...

Once I got back the psu, Will try to put for FSB500. Will also install 3rd party NB cooler. Hope it can help to push more.

ST56??.. they should be having tons of them.

ur ram n proc should not have a problem running 1:1 divider with 9x400 to get 3.6GHz at stock voltage...what board u r using??

ZT56ZF...Zues series...

yeah..thats what i thought so as well... i am using p35-ds3 rev2.1 (F12) .... my batch is Q478A143.... aduh... hopefully i am not getting a bad batch..... anyone with this same batch around?

hmm icemocha ure mars mobo ..

theres a LED for the rams..
is it suppose to be red light??

E8400 OC ownage sry

my batch...Q745A818 <--bad batch..havent started assembly my pc yet..

erm...whats ur max OC on vcore for that bro?

eh////
eh then how u know bro bad or not??

they're crucial tracer ram... got red and green... which moves when theres activity...

he mean in between of ur mars ram slots

oh yeah dude i couldnt remove the heatsink to show u the pic
screw is too tight.

there is no bad batch if u wanna OC up to 4.0Ghz only....all E8400 can do that...maybe u had some flaw in ur setting...

u have to try OC it 1st to know its a good batch or not...google around try to find some info about ur batch....let me simplified 1 thing...in E8400 OCing...the selecting of a batch seems doesn't given the same result....example: maybe ur batch n mine is the same....but ur proc can OC better than mine...n then there is other with the same batch can OC worst than me...

i was right about the fsb termination.. theres not enough range

with the maximus i can get 3.6ghz at 1.52 stable for 9 hours orthos the other day before i switched it off
with the mars 3.6ghz at 1.68v failed orthos within 1 hour 45 minutes.

hehe i told u already....the OC result depend on what mobo u plug this babe in...

yeah but i think its the fsb voltage

anybody here got e8400 + DK.. since Dk has good ranges on their FSB termination
so should be good.

Foxconn P35 mars VS Maximus.. even the temps are way off for core temp.
since room temp conditions are around the same.

heck the Mars is on a bench rig somemore.


Foxconn p35 Mars 3.6ghz 400x9 core temp 55-56
[attachmentid=407343]


VS

Asus Maximus Formula SE X38 3.6ghz 450x8 core temp 48
[attachmentid=407344]

more 3.8ghz 475x8 Foxconn vs 450x8.5 :3.825ghz maximus
[attachmentid=407405] VS [attachmentid=407403]



this is the same voltage for the maximus clocks above
[attachmentid=407606]

the maximus was much more stable reason running dreamscene and usually run a .ogm file playback.. in this case was all the episodes of trigun.

@cstkl1
woah ur vcore sooooo low 1...? whats ur setting?

wei 3.8 only larr.

all there dude.. on the foxconn panel.. but hmm that one failed leh in 40 minutes.. now trying 1.24v

need to get a voltmeter and check this mobo
the asus i know is almost exact

one thing weird with e6600 and e2160 the vdroop almost non existent but with e8400 geee..

quick way to test NB /mem voltage stable
run orthos like above or even better run 3rd one with blend but then need 2 hours
run dreamscene for background and run some .OGM movie..

heck if didnt freeze for 10 minutes then ure NB voltage is good

i also experiencing 0.02 vdroop on e8400 where my e6600 no vdroop... btw whats ur stable vcore @ 4.0ghz?
