E8600 E0 owners, post your Vcore

1.304v for 4.4ghz



Been running at 4.5ghz/1.368v for a couple of months now without a hitch.



Recently bought a q9550 eo which I had clocked to 3.8ghz, I swapped it back out for the e8600 though, as I'd noticed the min framerate on a few of my games had dropped by 10+.

Gta4 wasn't that much better with the quad either, scoring around the same as the e8600 in the benchmark, and only slightly faster in actual gameplay.
 
1.472Vcore for 5.1ghz. Vid is 1.195v for this cpu. It is a hot runner, just like all the low vid E8600's but clocks like crazy. The P45 links in my sig are another E8600 with a Vid of 1.225, as you can see, it runs cooler, but needs more Vcore clock for clock.

 
I see your on phase but will that stop degrading at that voltage?

I've had the cpu in the P35 since the E8600's were released, running 24/7 at that Vcore. Higher when benching. It has actually got better since i got it, it now does 5.2ghz stable. The P45 has also got better, though by not as much.

So the answer to your question is, i hav'nt seen ANY degredation, in fact only improvements. I put that down to a)phase, b)low VTT, c)stock PLL.
 
dont forget GTL ref voltages , i find these to have a critical role in OCing (though i dont know if it affects degradation of 45nm chips)

They certainly are critical when it comes to clocking. But the GTL's themselves have no bearing on any voltages applied to the cpu. The only voltages applied to the cpu are Vcore, VTT and PLL.

The GTL's of course need to be changed as you up the VTT, but they don't affect the Voltage of the VTT.
 
Just got my new system before Christmas...been loving it since....anyways he'res the voltages....at 4.4 Gigahertz

1.328vcore

not playing with voltages, so left cpu ll, NB, Sb all on auto. what are good values? can i manually force these? sry for noob question, but i never play with volts, let board do the work

for 4.4Ghz my SB is as low as it will go at 1.55v. NB running two sticks is like 1.275v and the CPU is 1.44V as i get a fair bit of Vdroop but totally stable at 4.4Ghz. You may be able to run a fair bit less CPU voltage. Your bios should give you what the voltages are set to on auto so theres a good place to start.
 
thx

was asking coz when i checked CPU PLL in bios it was like 1.63 which seems very high to me.

if i manually input lower voltage there and it runs will there be any issues, or r there things i need to balance out?

What do you have to use for 4.5 GHZ 24/7?????

Know what I mean??????????????

And is it stable?????????
