hi guys..wan ask.. E8400/8200 vs Q6600 on Biostar Tpower i45... which proc should i go for? thanks ya.. nid a gud oc ability proc and gud in gaming..

e8400 e0 is the best choice

Up to your lor,you want strictly gaming/generic usage then E8400 is better choice
For those who want multitasking/video encoding,get Q6600

q6600 not bad lar...g0 stepping under sunbeam ccf...really can hav a nice temp though in a room without air con...

i hv a question. cant get my e8500 to stable at 4.5Ghz. evrytime i run p95, it will crash exactly after 17min. any suggestion?

More details bro.

-pWs-

i just try 4.41GHz (490x9), stable for 5 hours now.

V core 1.296 (cpu_z)
Vtt 1.26
Cpu ref 0.798
mch ref 0.798
Vmch 1.24
Vram 2.28

for 4.5Ghz i use the same setting, only change vcore to 1.344(cpu_z) 500x9. change other setting oso make no different. 2nd core will fail after 17 min.

@ sharkeer
More vCore or vTT.

What is your ram 1066MHz setting?
Memtest stable?

Play w vNB?

-pWs-

dun have memtest for now but i do test it with windows memory tools. is it not enuf? at 1066 is 5-5-5-15 56 at 2.26v. by vnb do u mean vmch?

Set to loose timing for your ram 1st to 5-5-5-15.
Ya. vMCH.

-pWs-

try everything. no luck. gv up edi. just stay at 4.4GHz

Send to me. I help you.

-pWs-

lol. dont hv extra chip lying around.

Try 470x9.5 or so,it might help
And lower vdimm as well

edi try 470x9.5. still 2nd core will fail after 16-17min. weird.

Try 5:6 memory divider

still no luck. just read i7 oc thread and stumble on one of cstkl1 post.
