cstkl1, why is your Everest and Core Temp showing different fsb/clock speed?

cstkl1, previously you mentioned in another thread to me that you got it at 4.5Ghz stable (in Hardware section). Perhaps you can base on that and show an Orthos/Prime screenshot?

It would be good to share the good stuff around

A screenshot of Orthos running for some time would be best.

Ok, this is not 4.5Ghz anymore and if it failed any tests, it means it's not stable. Also, Super PI doesn't conclude stability. Previously you mention you had it 4.5Ghz daily stable which overwhelms me because I'm still working to get mine at that speed.

Well, good achievement but the tough part is to get it Orthos stable

It doesn't concern me if someone does a hack job or not. If someone posts something not genuine, I'll just disregard it At the same time, I doubt Super PI is used for that purpose. I'm not an OC detective and I believe the purpose of this thread is to get successful overclock results for the new 45nm so lets not mislead others.

If one can overclock to 4.5 or even 5.0 Ghz with Super PI screenshot, it's a good achivement but let's not confuse people by saying it's "24/7 stable". The other poor guy that doesn't know might think he's got a dud chip and start asking questions why he can't get his 4.5Ghz stable as well

If it's not a stable OC, it isn't one irregardless. Even if I can pass Super PI, 3dmark and memtest but the moment I load my game, it hangs so the good result is nice to see but not enjoyable.

Added on January 28, 2008, 5:15 pmSome tests are easy to pass, some harder. For the same, there are different options in Super PI and passing 1M doesn't mean it passes 32M.

The Orthos tests people often talk about is either Small FFT or Blend. The others is a plus but either one above is good enough.

Actually you're doing it for the community, not me Please don't run it for me only As I say, 4.5Ghz Super PI is already good.

I just got it a few days ago, haven't started playing but from what I read, these new 45nm overclocks better on X38 than P35. I'm still unsure but will certainly keep everyone posted if I get something good going

It's just what I've read and there are many folks with X38 on Xtreme Forums these days. I don't use dual graphics card so I'll stick with P35 until X38 board gets cheaper.

I've had IP35-PRO and Foxconn MARS now I'll let everyone knows but initially, MARS look very much more promising.

I have the same issues with temp on both Foxconn Mars and IP35-PRO
I guess someone has to fix it

I think every motherboard is giving this problem The CPU is still too new I guess.

I even asked him and he re-affirm it was stable
From what I see, many people manage to get into Windows at a high clock speed and do Super PI but not many manage to get it stable.

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.

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

Typical Malaysian = get upset when people give comments

Well, I'm not being mean to anyone and I've no idea why you guys felt so. On the flip side, maybe we should start learning how to accept positive and constructive critism/opinions. Plus, retaliating with personal attacks doesn't show maturity.

Actually I can just disregard and let all of you continue your discussion but my main point is; let's just post one or two sensible screen shot of OC that will help others with their E8400 too It's easier for people to refer as well (look at what other forums do). We're here to share and discuss, not to feel upset when someone disagrees. Sometimes there's no right or wrong so don't always think when someone says something against you, they are putting you at fault.

Last but not least, let's try to improve the quality of our posts in the forums.

Thanks bro I don't go against people, trust me. Actually myself is also confused when there are multiple screenies. Maybe all of us should try hitting 4Ghz (for a start) and post one up with the core voltage so it's easier to compare.

I know Mr. AoiNatsume has a good chip.

Thanks kmarc

As for cstkl1, you can continue to feel upset and be defensive, I seriously can't help you on that. Plus, I don't lose anything if you want to do it this way. If it makes you feel better to come at me and be personal, by all means go ahead It only shows to the rest of the people around here the type of person you are. Have fun and good luck.

flatfinger, more screenies can provide more info but we can include all those into one (Core Temp, CPU-Z, Orthos, 3dmark, etc). I can post a screenie everytime I manage to get Super PI completed after I OC but for others to refer and search back, it's a hassle and not to mention creates confusion. I know everyone is excited to share the good results (sharing is caring) but keeping the thread clean with good information would certainly help others too Btw, how much Vcore do you need for 4Ghz?

START - TOTALLY OFF TOPIC

I'm sorry guys but I have to respond since he's directing to me

In fact I don't mind if you attack, insult or flame me. As I say, I don't lose anything but you're just opening up and showing others what kind of person you are. Besides, you're doing it to almost everyone and have no respect for Bryan, Kucingfight, etc (I searched your posts and read some of them)

Let's not continue here and if you have issues, do it via PM and involve a moderator or admin. Don't do this for me but for the sake of everyone else in LY.net because this is a Pennryn thread.

END - TOTALLY OFF TOPIC

flatfinger, same with mine. I need around that voltage to get it stable at 4Ghz I'm suprised some E8400 can do superbly at lower voltages. Someone in Xtreme forums had the same batch as mine and his is a super overclockable chip.

One thing for sure is all of them can easily boot up and Super PI in Windows at high clock speed

The Ballistix Tracers are hot and I had a fan on top of them too. It does high Mhz pretty easily too and same like you, I never had it above 2.2V

I'll post my E8400 @ 4Ghz when I get home (done yesterday).

flatfinger, many boards are having issues with the temps. Also, I found out that most people had their E8400's stable around 4.0 - 4.3Ghz max. The rest are able to boot into Windows for Super PI but we can't use it because it isn't stable.

I got mine around 4.1Ghz at 1.4x Vcore but sold it off two days ago. I guess I'll just wait a bit before getting another one.
