ok, thanks bro.. now disable it d... running lower vcore now...

super PI 1m load only took u less than 15secs.. after that simply restart and load default setting..

ur proc wont be killed or degrade at 66c.

I dare not to pump 1.6vcore on stock hsf and my os need to reghost to boot into os at higher FSB I am going for 9.59's with E8400 and liquid cool soon and low 9's with chill water I like SPI as much as you and i don't have X3350 on hand to test now

hehe fyi i dun really like PI..

uh.. x3350... when q9450 stock coming... damn

X3350=Q9450

Although it may seem similar, but I guess theres a difference in the architecture. Thats why the E8400 temp is cooler when compared to the E3110.

I really wish to know what is difference between them...

-pWs-

Well, the most obvious which everyone can see is that the voltage required is lower for the Xeons when compared to the Core 2 Duos.

xeon and c2d... the difference is in the settings... some latency thingy... lol..

Same thing.Xeon=C2D with Xeon Identification String

talking on performance, yes it's same.

wat i notice is.. the vid is diff. ,
while as mentioned by silverfire, the e3110 is running hotter... (from the e3110 oc thread)
requires lower voltage on oc? .. tat 1 i not sure.

from wat i heard is, it's from different fab.? while the binning process is diff. too
higher bin is wat i heard.

but heck, regarding performance... both same jer~

installed my geminII .. at last.. so lazy to remove my board but tonite got nothing to do so finally

but notice the temp? why there is lots of difference between the cores..

Really a lot difference.
Btw bro, is it full load temp?

-pWs-

irenic which version of bios u using ? i tot p5e3 premium still using x38 instead of 48.

anyway are u sure vTT of 1.45 is safe for 24/7 use ?? i tot max is roaund 1.35v ?

btw SPI does not show what a real quad core can, haha.........

hi, i just got myself an e8400 and DFI's elcheapo bloodiron p35.

Somehow the combo just doesnt react that well. To set the vcore in bios for my mobo, it's something like VID + special VID add (+100mv etc). The problem is, the VID changes like every other restart.

I was trying to get a stable mild OC of 3.6ghz. I tried VID + 100mv and it was ok stable (only 1hour plus of orthos, didn't have time to do more). Then I restarted again, it'll fail orthos within 10 seconds! Then I realised about the VID (earlier it was at 1.20v and later it was 1.16v). My old mobo was a gigabyte 965 ds3 where I set the vcore at absolute value (not VID + x mv).

Is it normal for the VID to flip flop like this? OR am I missing something? Thanks.

no la.. idle only hehe

i'm using 0401 bios rite now.. p5e3 premium is using x48, p5e3 deluxe is using x38..

according to intel's spec, 1.45v is absolute max vtt.. u can refer the pdf link that i posted in this thread previously..

to be safe, keep ur vtt below 1.4v for daily use..

i dun think the vid will drop everytime u restart, but more during the load. let say u set 1.20v in bios, then u enter windows it detect at 1.16v only.. later during orthos benching it drop till let say 1.12v.. that is normal (vdroop)..

but if the VID drop automatically during restart, then u maybe u can consider flash ur bios n see if it fix anything..

well yeah, gigabyte bios is straightforward.. bcoz actually gigabyte doesnt support overclocking as much as other brand like asus, dfi and lately, foxconn...

The VID drops like every other restart actually, as per reported in Realtemp 2.5 and the ITE (DFI mobo tool). I've disabled all the CPU features like EIST, C1E etc.

At stock speed and VID in Auto, which is the lowest possible option, my idle vcore in XP can be either 1.2v or 1.16v. Could it be my CPU?

disable ure eist. tm etc
ure failed because of NB

well better ask for other bloodiron user's to share their experience.. i dun think ur cpu, bcoz i guess it comes from ur board..

and fyi, auto is not the lowest possible option.. auto means the board will automatically adjust the voltage.. and it is not consistent.. thats why with auto setting, sometime u find it stable, sometimes not..
