i cant..
i can show u orthos cpu small fft
but it will fail blend test.
memtest also fail now.

ive even lessen the ram performance level to 12 with CL5.. and still cannot.
it was gameable on GOW
but failed the new cpu benchmark on crysis...

ok it was a mistake..
so what u guys want me to bow down and ask for forgiveness.??
pumped up the 4.4ghz vcore.. increased the performance levels on asus... .

and also getting a few bugs...
like now anything above 490-500fsb on multi 9 this is what happens..
when i press restart..
my comp will shutdown
and then only load.. signs of instability..

also second part weird about maximus x38..
if i up the NB/PLL voltages.. it will fail to restart..
and go back to default.. then i have to reset the nb to auto, change the fsb to something lower. let it restart and then only pump it back..

Added on January 30, 2008, 1:53 ami dunno about u guys..
but i have been overclocking on this board with other c2d..
and the same principles dont apply...

CPU are like girls, they are always different. Some likes it hot, some likes it cold

You don't have to apologize or ask forgiveness. Don't feel so upset about it - small issue.

man i have to agree with your theory, and don't forget, sometimes picky and loves to give u a hard time

@clawy
interesting concept, equating processor to girls. True2. I would rather say its like a wife instead.

@aoi
hows the performance of the current batch of 45nm procx?

currently running stable 4Ghz daily basis @ 1.3v. Im pretty satisfied with the performance based on the price i pay for this babe, but the temperature errors are rather disappointing id say... thus leaving me unable to push the proc any further than 4.5Ghz at the moment.

well guys..the processor still new...for whom that run it now r like beta tester for overclocking...trying to find the stability...maybe now can't...maybe later can...its all depend on the hardware that we hav...the bios...the skill...try n error method, experience and our luck to find the sweet spot...the outcome will be not the same for each person...

for this 45nm proc...if its fully supported by the harware n software than we can conclude the outcome...rite now is a challenge for us...to be the 4Ghz runner...

i think 4ghz is extremely easy to hit on this chip. Just bump a little voltage and there ya go.

Yes agree...but depend on mobo voltage input n the mobo vdroop actually...from my experience same processor with 2 different mobo...the Gigabyte mobo can OC this chick better with low voltage input than the Biostar...coz the Biostar vdroop is like 0.02v plus minus...well the bios still crappy...

others lets share our experience...

this is the fastest 4 i can hit .
Performance Level 1.

Orthos Priority 9 Small FFT 8 hours run
[attachmentid=390293]

Sandra Score - 9332Mb's hmm cannot see the thing.. but thats written in GB's
[attachmentid=390295]

Aqumark3 - 242017
[attachmentid=390300]

3dmark01SE - 72922
[attachmentid=390312]

3dmark06 - 14250
[attachmentid=390307]

its very gud already passed 8 hours at priority 9

but y different reading cpu speed at orthos n everest??

it will always detect the highest multi..

ic...I will try to test it later..

Super Pi 1M @ 11.xxx s...which mean running at 4Ghz rite?? not 4.49Ghz like ur orthos reading...coz if u running at 4.49Ghz its like 10.xxx s of super pi 1M...

what's vcore feed in bios??

This post has been edited by flatfinger: Jan 30 2008, 11:06 AM

updated with aquamark and 3dmark score..
uploading results now as i run them..

dude if u can see that 4.5ghz y not look at the cpuid..
i used everest cause smaller than running 3 cpuz's..

yeah i know...just asking..
what's ur vcore in bios??

Hey guys, don't get this wrong. That E8400 is NOT 4.5Ghz stable

If you look carefully, he is running 8 x 500. Orthos has a bug reporting the actual Mhz because it will always assume your multiplier as the default one (in this case 9x). It also means if you run 7.5 x 500 or 8 x 500, it will report as 4500Mhz (9 x 500) - try it yourself.

This justifies why:

1. It is so stable - because it's only 4Ghz anyway
2. The Super PI score is 11.xx seconds (I manage to get 10.xx seconds)

At the same time, I don't understand why he's posting without a CPU-Z screenshot

hmm sometime u baffle me..

cpuz i have to run 3.. ram. proc

but in one everest cpuid u get to see them all.--

dude..
i dunno what to say to u anymore..
especially when u ask y i ran everest CPUid...

errr duh smaller..??

and ure less than 11sec i call BS all the way...
post something if anything..

last post in the thread..wasting my time.

@clawwy
i already stated in my previous post...yes he ran 4.0Ghz only not 4.5Ghz...orthos will read x9...but its x8 actually...u can refer to everest cpuid there...

This post has been edited by flatfinger: Jan 30 2008, 12:47 PM

bro but his claims of 4ghz less than 11.. is BS..

have u seen anybody do less than 11?? on 4ghz.. impossible.

heck for each 0.2s drop u need to overclock ure proc.
windows optimization and ram optimization max differen 0.1-0.2s also..

beginning do doubt clawhammer even has a e8400.

later when i get back my team xtream pC2-6400 CL3 and OC i doubt the difference will be more than 0.1s or less than that.

some like it long or some like it wide too ( what did your perverted minds think? =__= , i was referring to wide based HSF or longer ones) hahha

and then some likes to be smacked around a little before they will OC well aka "burn in"
hahahaha, ok off topic ade

but what is the noticeable difference between e8xxx and e6xxx other then clock speeds and voltage? any other performance gains?

This post has been edited by bryanyeo87: Jan 30 2008, 01:05 PM

let me make this clear

on 4.0Ghz super Pi 1M = 11.xxx s
on 4.5Ghz super Pi 1M = 10.xxx s

yeah u wont get under 11s for 4.0Ghz...

@clawwy...
dont be so mean to him..he's trying to prove that E8400 stable at 4.0Ghz not 4.5Ghz...he did apologize in his previous post...
he didnt put the cpuz screenie coz everest cpuid can conclude all info in 1 screen rather than having 3 different cpu-z with different tab...
we r here to discuss not firing or offense each other indirect or direct way... dude

@bryanyeo87...
its different both E8 series n E6 series interm of 45nm/60nm and the L2 cache size...also in power usage and tempreture (but rite now seem all mobo got problem with this)...performance gain 6% plus minus in application n game..u can goggle to find a review for those processor

here some screenie from x-bit labs for stock speed...imagine if u OC it...
