***The Official Wolfdale 8200/8400/8500 Overclocking Thread ***

Made me lol THAT.

 

[easyrider]

and as a FINAL test for cpu stability - Prime95 small fft

Thanks for finally agreeing with me.

I to use small fft to test for cpu stabilty.

 

[easyrider]

The difference between you and me, amongst an infinite amount of other differences, is that I dont use prime initially. That would just be silly and a waste of time for benching. So I'm afraid you are very much mistaken if you believe I agree with you but I am happy to educate you in this respect.

You are hardly educating me in anything.

There is nothing you know about PC hardware that I don't.

You haven't even installed phase yet.

So there are clearly areas you are unfamilar with.

Back on topic.

 

[easyrider]

you can not count your 2 week encounter with a phase unit designed for silence as extreme cooling tho man, ** no guru in phase cooling are ya c'mon, ave u used dice or ln2?

Never said I was.


Better than you though

 

[easyrider]

yeah u owned me,

Sadly the Q6600 is old tech and I have moved on and sold it.

Glad to see you are using small FFT's though.

 

[easyrider]

Just had a quick read of the last few pages and jeeeesh this has become a silly thread.

Why is everyone jumping on easyrider's back over computer stability? He's been posting here for years and in my eyes has valued opinions on overclocking and hardware. Its a forum not a bitching session so there's obviously going to be some heated discussions but some of the posts here are just wee taking.Mod can hopefully clean the thread up from all the dross!

Thanks for that.

I appreciate your support.

I want hot see how hot these chips get under full stress.

This will then provide people with what to expect with:

a: What cooling they have
b: How they scale with vcore
c:Maximum overclocks
d:A solid benchmark starting point so people can compare batches etc..

This is all useful to people jumping ship from the 65nm parts.

 

[easyrider]

Yep, a fresh start would be good.

The courier hasnt turned up with my E8500, thats my plans for the weekend gone they can go stick it on Monday.


(Not from ocuk btw)

Thats bad news mate,

Was looking forward to your results.

 

[easyrider]

lol never ceases to make me chuckle does easy

suppose you lost £20 on the transaction as usual *nudge*

I bought it for 156 and sold it for 145 so thats £ 11

 

[easyrider]

At others who are prime stable at 4ghz + those are nice results.

 

[easyrider]

Like I said in posts 219 and 214

That the P5B deluxe is one of the finest mobo's we have seen in the past 2yrs.


Took my 6400 4.3ghz and I hope the 8400 will see you the same results.

Why always look for malice?

Good luck mate.

4.2ghz is a nice 24/7 place to be.

There won't be any issues.

Its a fine mobo my sentiment was clear enough.

I got over 520 FSB with mine and a dual core 6400.

I have no reason to think that 500 FSB + will not be achievable with a 8400

Seems my knowledge of hardware is still in tact.

But I never doubted for a second with this old chipset.

Now find 4.2ghz small FFT everyone knows that 4ghz on an 8400 is a conservative clock.

There is more in that chip yet.

 

[easyrider]

---BOOM--- HEADSHOT

Considering I said the mobo would have no problem with 8400 I have no idea what this post means.

Other than its sycophancy.


Priceless. Pure gold.

 

[easyrider]

So why even come out with that post. Or were you trolling for a change



There is but I'm happy at 4Ghz

4ghz is common ground it seems.

Would be interesting to see what the max clock on that chipset would be with 45nm parts.

Because its truth.

the 965 is an old chipset by todays standards.

The 8400 would have no problem with it.

How you Interpret that is anyones guess.

Not all 965's will behave the same way.

 

[easyrider]

Easy, Shut up.

So why even come out with that post?

You asked.

I gave you the answer

 

[easyrider]

I am finding that up to 4.2 i can keep the vcore low.
Over 4.25 it needs more than 1.45 to keep prime stable.

Seems 4.2ghz is the area before big vcore increases see nominal gains.

 

[easyrider]

keeping my e8500 at 4.2 1.45 until i can be sure of the temps.

Whats your load temps?

What cooling?

 

[easyrider]

4ghz is hardly epeen.

18 pages in....

 

[easyrider]

As promised 4.23Ghz Small FFTs stability

A whole 10c more heat to the cpu when running small TFT over blend at the same vcore and cooling.

Blend was 55c
Small FFT 65c

According to those screenies.

 

[easyrider]

Already ran Orthos for 10+ hrs Kirth but I forgot to get a screenie, hence why I am doing it again

As far as temps go, 56c full Orthos load in quite a hot room.

Demon.

Any chance of another screenie?

4.5ghz prime stable would be something I'm interested in.


Longer than a few seconds.

 

[easyrider]

The blend screenie above seems to me to indicte that there is very little difference in the temps, both ~65c

55c was the temps @4.05Ghz

Ahh looked at the wrong screenie lol.

With a little nudge in vcore and speed it seems the temps shoot up!

 

[easyrider]

Whats the max voltage you should put through these chips? 1.5V?

1.5v for water I reckon.

These things get hot by slight increases in vcore.
