E8500 E0

[Godsbrother]

For those waiting on the E0s I just got my new 8500 today and it's S-spec is SLB9K which I 'think' is E0 as far as I can tell if so then they are in stock!

 

[Godsbrother]

I had to have a search around for SLB9K as its not listed yet on Intels site!

 

[Godsbrother]

What does CPU-Z read it as?

No idea yet still awaiting other parts before I can assemble it

 

[Godsbrother]

where did you get the cpu

OcUK of course

 

[Godsbrother]

Try this...

http://ark.intel.com/sspecqdf.aspx

sort on processor and go to page 21.

I think you're right

Aha yes there it is excellent, wha a stroke of luck eh! Didn't even have to fork over a premium!

 

[Godsbrother]

So how do I order this? Will it just be luck if they send me the E0?

I would think so yes, my box said the pack date was 27/7/08 though so I would 'think' that means the old stocks have gone?

 

[Godsbrother]

So is the box smaller on the e0 8500 re this pic

Yup very small box just fits the cooler. Although I suppose it saves on packaging and it doesn't need to be any bigger.

Right I finaly got my new rig built.

Currently running 4.0GHZ 500x8 at 54c under full load on occt @ V core of 1.3

The bios on these P5Q's has a lot!! of settings... so far only changed the FSB/multi and vcore... no idea what else to set to what! I can see some fun coming up...

 

[Godsbrother]

Ok well here are a couple of pics of my current O/C attempts.

What do you think?

 

[Godsbrother]

ok so here a couple more screenies one during one after just doing another set of tests. Do you think using 9.5 multi and lower fsb is better or worse than the other way round?

 

[Godsbrother]

Thanks. Sorted - it now shows the revision no.

Currently priming at 4.2Ghz. Orthos Blend. 4 hours so far.

Don't like the temps. Currently 77C using 1.4 vcore, and c55C idle - too hot. If I complete the 8 hours, I'll think try to wind down the vcore a few notches and leave it that.

There is more headroom in this chip, for sure, but it may be too hot to handle .

Strange isn't it, mine is at 4.18Ghz and is currently priming (blend) at 48c using a OCZ Vendetta 2.

Thats at 440 fsb x 9.5 @ 1.304 core

 

[Godsbrother]

That's very cool: I was @ 58C at 1.3 vcore, and my TT is no slouch. What's your FSB wall? Looks like you might be able to tease yours to 4.4 or more before it get's too hot.

Not sure yet best so far is 520 still trying out combinations thou.

Ok another screenie for anyone thats interested.
