anyone here knows why memtest gives errors whilst orthos for 3 hours(blend) does not give errors?

eh, hmm orthos blend and OCCT doesnt give an error liao. ONly Memtest.. can give advice how i can reduce the error chances besides buying Crucial ram lol. Now its OCed to ddr2 900 @ cl4. this secret rams

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.

i never push above 2.2v to my tracer...n always put fan hovering them...

try ur best on getting stable clock...gambatte!!!

yes exactly, Ds3 has a rather bad vdrop/droop.

For 4.0Ghz, it would take 1.3v in bios, reads 1.25-1.27 in windows, drops to 1.23 on load.

For 4.5, i'd need to set 1.51xx in bios, windows read 1.48 and drops to 1.45 on load.

temps taken from my G15 lcd via Everest.

Btw, did you manage to get yourself a new chip after selling off your E6750? There are stocks available for E8200's in LYP.

Some results of E8400 on Gigabyte P35 DS3 F12.
Vcore bios : 1.425v
Vcore load : 1.344v
Vmch : +0.1v
Vfsb : stock
Vpci-e : stock
Vdimm : 2.0V

q9450 @ 3.6ghz or e8400 @ 4ghz ... i dunno which 1 to choose now...

eh no dude..
warranted up to ure box stated max

hmm wait retract that back..

reason is cause last time thats what happened when i rmaed my p4. they knew i overclocked it and said it was warranted according to the box stated max..

good question

but this was debate a few times.. but afaik it is true during the p4 days that intel has a way to find out what vcore u were running last before the proc kaputs.

In fact most of the time your warranty would go through. The reason is also because people from the west are very ethical and not many would claim RMA if they kill RAMs themselves due to overclocking. Unlike most Malaysians (if not some) which are abusive, we can kill the RAM multiple times, RMA it and still feel proud of that.

@4.0GHz all mobo should not hav a problem...only the different is the vcore that needed to feed it...

GTL = Gunning Transceiver Logic
- reference levels that the CPU uses when determining if a data or address signal is either high or low to NB chip...acting like divider for CPU:NB
- usually specified as a percentage of Vtt/vfsb
- this values are particularly important when overclocking quad-core CPU especially when venturing above 450fsb
- the theory is like when u search a radio station...u get it..then u fine tune it...to a better clear reception frequency..so in OCing...example: u find the vcore 1.30v to get 4.0GHz...adjust ur GTL maybe will bring u at 1.29v...getting lower vcore from the previous...but it just a very small value...
- other like if u r priming at 4.0GHz but failed after 45 minutes...by tweaking GTL...then u priming again...it will go over the 45 minutes example maybe 2 hours if the setting is correct
- those looking for a maximum stable overclock with the minimum amount of voltages will find GTL tuning a necessity...otherwise no need to do...just like some mobo out there...there is no GTL tweaking option in their bios...
- its actually a fine tune of stability...

Vtt = Vfsb = termination voltage

weird.. i sometimes get random errors from orthos and orthos crash... maybe shud try other stress programs... any recomendations?

after a week.and over 8 unit e8400 test.finally i get my best e8400....just 1.23v to orthos 8x500 stable!!!!!
rock and roll core

Wow..is it possible?
My Q9300 very hard to achieve 3.4GHz already.

@kiong
Share some tips..

Yea....Auto is the lowest Vcore you can get.
