BornEvil, I think it's only fair you remove my week 20 entry from the database mate 
I sold the chip and although that result (prime BLEND stable) stands, I couldn't get it prime small FFTs stable until 1.44v 
Hopefully the Q822A435 I have coming will be better, and that WILL be in the database
I just don't think its fair to include that week 20 result as (1) it didn't meet the criteria - ie small ffts - AND (2) I no longer own it. Cheers.

How come Core Temp shows a TJ. Max of 95C. Shouldn't it be 100C?

It was changed to 95C in the most recent version.
It was 100c by default but when it differed to real temp I had a read around to find out what was correct, there are lots of conflicting arguments out there but one sounded convincing as 95c.
Ive since changed it back to 100c but apparantly the correct figure changes slightly from cpu to cpu so its probably somewhere in between.
It was changed to 100. You are referring to Core Temp 0.99.3, right? If so, it's 100.

Not going to happen (24/7 stable rig)... unless you are using chilled water, TEC/peltier or similar.
I have a triple 120mm rad, high CFM fans. Laing DDC 18W Ultra c/w XSPC top reservoir and D-TEK Fuzion V.2 on a dedicated loop for my E8600. Sure I can get into Windows @ 4.7GHz, game and bench. HOWEVER, Prime will fail in lees than 20 mins or so.
Just got back from holiday and caught up on thread so sorry for quoting late on this post.
Sorry to go off topic... was reading Custom PC mag whilst away... Scan "The Great White" LOL £££££

As someone that has a 24/7 stable clock at 5.1ghz and working on 5.2ghz, i simply do not agree with your statement at all. Phase, which i am using, will only get 300mhz/400mhz more than very good air or water on a 24/7 stable basis. So those peeps here looking for 4.7ghz under water/good air with the right cpu, can more than expect to reach it. It's not easy, and will take the right mobo and ram, but it can be done. With all due respect, a 790i was'nt the best choice of mobo if you want to clock the nuts off an E8600, so perhaps if you want a higher clock, something else may be a better bet.

OK, please feel free to point me in the direction of someone that has managed a fully Prime stable 4.7GHz~ clock on air or water.
In addition, intel chipsets are very poor when it comes to high DDR3 clocks, as most people will agree.
Which board would you suggest I use, as my OC is poor?
With all due respect to you, I made my hardware choices very carefully and like to think I know what I'm doing.

Peeps wanting to get to 4.7ghz is an aspiration, as you know full well, it has'nt been done yet and i did'nt say that it has. What i did say was "So those peeps here looking for 4.7ghz under water/good air with the right cpu, can more than expect to reach it. It's not easy, and will take the right mobo and ram, but it can be done." It's only a matter of time.
We are not talking about wether "intel chipsets are very poor when it comes to high DDR3 clocks", this whole thread is purely about cpu speed, not ram. I also did'nt say your clock was poor, in fact it is very very good. It is well known that Intel chipsets are a much better match for Intel cpu's than Nvidia, and usually get higher clocks (and more stable clocks at that). You obviously have a good cpu and in my opinion it will go higher on an Intel chipset than your current one.

Yea, sorry about throwing DDR3 into the mix.
Look, ll I'm saying is that people can't "more than expect to reach it". 4.7GHz fully stable on air or water is a pipe dream on this chip IMHO. When someone proves me wrong I'll gladly eat a big fat slice of humble pie.
Fair enough?

look forward to your results
Failed after 18 mins,upped the volts and trying again.

I was going to say 18 minutes, as that is the exact point where mine fails.
1.35V in BIOS (1.304 in CPUZ for me) gets me 4.5GHz stable. I did however, have to up the FSB voltage to 1.4V for 450MHz+.

Was going to get one of the week 22's of Devious myself, unfortunatly the head gasket went on my car on the way home so I need the money for that now instead!
Good luck to all who got one, I'm not jealous at all, honest

Damn Q820's... 1.40v for 4.33GHz. Booo!
