E8600 E0 owners, post your Vcore

I dont want to put voltage over 1.45v so 4.5Ghz is not a option. Right now im intel burn test max stress and 12 hours prime.

I dont want to go any where near 1.45V, I like my CPU to last more than 6 months, and theres nothing that 4GHz cant cope with anyway, my VCore is 1.264V at 4GHz completely stable, just leaving voltages on auto (bar DRAM), Vid is 1.250 btw
Edit: Theyre on auto partly cos they work well and partly cos Ive not found time to fine tune it yet

1.45v is the max you wanna use so yea its going to last more than 6 months. Iv had it like 3 or 4 months already and its running sweet. Each to there own but i wouldnt be happy with 4Ghz when you could spend nearly half the price and get same speed cpu.
 
Why? what is your computer doing mine cant? I dint say I cant get mine past 4, I'm just choosing not to run it past that for general 24/7 use as there is no need (yet) and it will degrade the life expectancy of your chip running all that extra voltage through it. when a need arises I need more than 4GHz I'll push it further, til then theres no point. You're running 1.44 which for me is far too close, you are aware that your vcore fluctuates? tehrefore its quite likely it'll go past the 1.45 barrier at some stage if you're operating that close to it
Edit: Oh and when I do clock upto 4.5 my vcore is still only around 1.36 (cant remember exactly now) so youre still putting too many volts through on this basis alone, imo

How do you know it degrades? All iv ever read is dont go over 1.45v as it "may" start to degrade. Kit on here is running 1.5v and his is fine. Tbh i couldnt care less what you think is ok but i like to push every part to its maximum potential without damaging it and for that reason im running it below 1.45v. You could have got a E8400 or less and be sitting exactly the same spot you are now so seems pretty pointless even buying one. Im not sure what you have been reading but not everything degrades rapidly if kept within decent limits.
 
True, I dont know it degrades, but being the cautious type Im not going to chance it til I have to and tbh I dont want to find out, if you do then fair play to you. I got the E8600 for 2 reasons, one as I say in the future it prob will be necessary for me to push it further, so then I will; and two at the time of purchase the price difference was negligible, but prices have fluctuated a lot of late, if I were to buy a new chip now it'd be the E8500
 
cool thanks for the advice mate never even realised this will go slap that on now.
Oh and it done 10 intelburnttest @ that no problem.

Edit: Just checked up on the priority seems it only matters if the computer is in use? Only thing running was steam so orthos should be using full resources all the time but I will go try it on 8 or 9 just to make sure anyway.

1.44-1.45 is nothing to worry about. People are so paranoid about these chips it's ridiculous. There's another forum where almost everyone seems to think that anything over 1.3625V will severely degrade the chip and that using LLC will also damage the chip.

Idiots TBH.

orthos priority 1 is useless , hardly stressing anything. you should try again at 9 or 10

How very wrong of you.

If you're not doing anything with your computer, besides stressing it with Orthos, then it doesn't make much difference what priority it is set to.
 
Yeah I thought the same, I'm using my media rig to surf just now so the computer was just running orthos basically, but I'm running it on priority 9 right now just to check anyway. Having some instability issues when running 3dmark about 4 times in a row, but think thats down to memory or some other voltage.
