E8600 E0 Overclocks

[fac51]

Have my E8600 ticking away at 4.3GHz with a voltage of 1.375, multiplier set at 10.

Orthos runs stably overnight and temps don't go over 63 C (39 C idling), was hoping to have them a bit lower but I probably need to wait for the Arctic Silver to cure a little as I only fitted it a couple of days back, failing that reseat.

At 4.4GHz Orthos fails after a couple of hours so looks like I'll need to up the voltages some more to get higher. My Vista install got a little shaky last night when testing at this speed and crashing; had to do a repair in order to boot

 

[Narn]

this will be a really n00b question but do all E8600 cpu's have the E0 stepping?

 

[fac51]

Yes they do

Shouldnt need to add more vcore juice for 4.4ghz tbh. Try slightly upping adjusting PLL and/or your GTL volts.

 

[fac51]

Yeah I think the voltage needs to go up a notch or 2.

Do you have any recommendations for PLL/GTL, they're not settings I've had to adjust in the past?

Try PLL first at 1.5v then try 1.6v if unstable.

Try GTL at x63 and x67.

I have both GTLs set at x63.

My Vcore is 1.35v in BIOS.

 

[fac51]

Will do, cheers for the advice.

 

[Reality|Bites]

What does a GTL of x63 mean? I only have GTL options of + 3.00 for the first one and -3.00 or -6.00 for the 2nd one.

Just got my E8600 and very happy so far. She's doing 4.5Ghz and priming as we speak, on 1.368 volts.

For once in my life I got the cherry chip from the middle of the wafer.

thats load voltage?

Great o/c! What are your temps? Also some screenshots while priming would be nice.

I'm quoting the voltage from CPUz. The voltage in the bios is 1.4

Core temp is saying 70 degrees whilst running prime. A stability check on intel's burn test gets temps up to 80 through

Will get some screenshots up soon.

Try GTL at x63 and x67.

I have both GTLs set at x63.

OK GTL's @ X63, PLL @ 1.5v and VCore @ 1.392v

Load temps 60 - 65C, idle temps 39C

Just testing my e8600 (destined for my new build) and its stable at 4.4ghz at 1.3v and max of 59C.
