Wolfdale E8400 @ 4ghz on cooler box (prime)

[rssatok]

how is the temperature while CPU is load for 100% ? 

[mrjamesb56]

...Hopefully the "PcCI2iminal" traded up for a 9800gtx or ati 4870 , 7800gtx Bottlenecks an e8400 @ 4ghx big time!...

[mrjamesb56]

I didn't think you could get 4ghz on any Intel CPU with stock cooler....

[KillerXXX123aw]

intel...

[keelsies00]

why not?, my E8600 @ 4.8 Ghz is -15 IDLE and -7 LOAD

[hum901]

Yeh thats true, but u would want a intel chipset if u r an OC. However if u want Sli u will need to get the X58 or and nforce chipset.

[hum901]

Intel is better for OC than nforce. If u really want to OC massivly then go for the X48 or X58 chipset by intel.

[KillerXXX123aw]

x58 is for socket 1366 chips (or the i7's)... but yes intel's are better. a p45 or an x48 is the way to go for socket 775.

[belakov90]

nooobs ich habe mein zpu bei 1,45 v bei 4,8ghz stabil bekomen^^

motherboard leuft auf 1900mhz^^

@belakov90

lern erstmal Rechtschreibung

[OfekS123]

Batch?

[Speedy187666]

damn if all these niggas can get 4ghz with a stock heatsink, i wonder what my little e5200 can do with this big ass after market heatsink called zalman cnps9700 cause apparently all you guys idle @ like 40 - 50 C and i always idle around 16 to 21 C D : plus my PSU is not the best so OC'ing is a bit hard for me to play with atm D :

[Speedy187666]

btw i'm idle @ 16 C right now oc'd to 3.5ghz 24 7 stable :D and full load usually doesn't get over 30C D :

[Speedy187666]

and that's with ANY game i play whether it be counter strike 1.6 to the new GTA IV, all of it always loads the same, just the newer games take a TAD moar heat than the older games do :/ all in all, i never really load past 35C and usually never go past 30C cause i usually just play counter strike source and call of duty 4

[Intelpentium54321]

You can get to 4 at stock heat sink but with your heat sink you can probabably get to like 4.5 depending on your mobo

[Speedy187666]

i have an msi p45 neo3 mobo

[Intelpentium54321]

im not familiar with msi. But they are rock stable boards I heard.

[TheDoomerBlox]

My idle temperature is 38-40 @ 3.8GHz with a E8600.. :o

[fireman4987]

hey how much would a computer with these specs cost: 2x xfx 9800gtx 4gb corsair pc6400 ram xfx 790i motherboard antec 900 case zalman pc cooler Q9650 cpu 2 velociprator ultra 1000w psu and a sony dvd drive please tell me cuz im about to buy a computer from another site and i wanna know if your site really offers good prices.

[ballsofsteel251]

the total cost for that configuration would be $2,628.11 including shipping but with the 20% off promotion thats going on now, the cost would be $2,103.11

[fireman4987]

are you serious?!?!? the other guy offered me like $5,659.97 im deffinetly gonna buy it from you man thanks!!! so whats the next step?

[ballsofsteel251]

$5,659.97 is just to much for a computer with your specs. e-mail me at vitalpcwave@yahoo(.)com so i can send you the payment. and thank you from buying it from us.

[tippete123]

come nn detto

[tippete123]

how did u do this please tell me the specs an dvoltage and stuff

[lanflett]

Excelente o vídeo. Mês que vem devo montar uma máquina com o E8400 em uma Rampage Formula, vou pensar se arrisco algum OC nela.

Valeu pelo vídeo!

[maitrelame2]

Hi.

I have got a E8400 and a Cooler Master CM Sphere. My CPU runs a 26c on stock, after playing crysis for 2 hours should i be able to reach 4ghz easly ?

[maitrelame2]

i reached 4.3ghz with 1.4vcore.

[TopGunMan]

I think you need to be reminded that a hardware component of that size will reach max temp in like 5 minutes. it will also cool off completely in 5 minutes. Thermal logic...

Why are you asking, try it. Only you have access to your comp...play with it.

[maitrelame2]

It's usually faster to heat something than cooling it.

Heating a CPU takes about 15 seconds, cooling it takes about 10 minute probably because of the heat sink.

[teamhex]

Just to throw this in there, it will cool off in less then 5 mins less then 1 if its cooled well. However you are right about the max temp.

[acies92]

For 45nm cpus, use realtemp or coretemp, but make sure the tj max is set to 100. Intel finally released the actual tjmax.

[jaggillardonuts]

There is a new version of Coretemp that shows the correct temperatures with the E8400 and other 45nm cpu´s now

[acies92]

I was well aware of it existing but at the time i posted, the temp reading softwares werent updated with the new tjmax. The new versions didnt have any changes other than the new tjmax being the default setting.

[NYVonix115]

whats the program your using with the core 2 duo symbol on the right?

[BigBoss9865327410]

CPU-Z

[NYVonix115]

Thanks

[Dmk998]

i i have the same cpu and i've instaled windows vista ultimate the cooler is the same and my E8400 in idle load runs at 41cº what can i do??

i think is something of the asus hardware asus p5k-pro anyone can help me please?

[lukeatluka]

Do you have a good airflow in your case?

Did you apply your Heatsink the right way? Did all pushpin go through the black holes?

Did you use any better thermal compound like Arctic Silver 5 or Mx-2?

[Dmk998]

i have 1 120mm fan in the front blowing air into the case 1 80mm fan blowing air to the graphics card the power supli fan 2 80mm fans in the back taking the air out

all the 4 pins are in the right position my thermal paste is mx-2 i've clean the cooler's normal thermal paste and apllyed this one

when you instal your system have you seen any problems with the reading temperatures of this cpu with the asus software

i heard somthing about this cpu that give wrong temperatures to us is that true?

[lukeatluka]

I would say that it's better more air out than in...

And, you may have different batch so it can idle higher and load lower or both high :)

Try to lower your Vcore so your temps will stay lower but it still needs to be stable.

[Dmk998]

i've found the problem with the internal reading temperatures of this cpu now i've ajusted the settings ov coretemp and now the temperatures are:

idle: 30/32ºc

full: 38/43ºc

now this temps are good?

[lukeatluka]

Ofcourse they are good.But for 45nm CPUs use Realtemp.Now OC :D

[Dmk998]

ok i'll use the program ! and the temperatres are the same!! =)

how can i do a OC stable to every-day actions something like 3,4 GHz?

[jmmatos23]

that should run better than any AMD processor! can u run this on any board that supports C2D and 1333mhz FSB? or do u need a borad made specially for 45nm tech?

[CRAKIZGOOD]

any board that can run a 1333 mhz cpu

[czolgista999]

Gigabyte motherbords have problems with OC because sometimes (in my case very often) the bios automatically recovers stock settings,even if i set the CPU to 3.1ghz it still boots at 3ghz,but i've sold my EP35-DS3 and bought P5E(Changed bios from rampage formula+vmod) now only my ram is a barrier cuz it hangs at ~920-930mhz (corsair xms2 but bad revision)

[LezuziuszHUN]

What do you think if i take an e8400 and overclock to 3.5GHhz? That would be safe or dangerous with box cooling? BTW my motherboard is a Gigabyte EP35-DS4.

[aplayaz2000]

Lezuzius after market cooler aint that much...

[czolgista999]

Hmm 4ghz on box is completely nothing special for e8400.I've OCed my e8400 on a shitty EP35-DS3 mobo to the 4158 mhz on box cooler in an antec 900 case,11.216s SuperPi 1.5 XS

[llabros]

What program u use to test the cpu?

[Byzs]

i think u talk about the CPU-Z

[llabrosa]

No i am tolking about that is doing calculations...at right

[Xyvinn]

Well, I know Orthos if you mean for stressing... not sure exactly what he used though.

[Xyvinn]

Sorry, actually, the program he was using was called "wPrime"

[altosinclair]

which do you think is better the stock fan or the Zalman 900. I have the stock I just never installed it.

[cantthinkofenything]

almost enything is better then the stock

[kevaughanshiu]

SO MANY OF THEM!

i want one :(

[25088221]

hey m plannin to buy this beast can u temme which mobo will work right out of the box for it .... cuz i dont hav ne other cpu for the moment..... heard 780i doesnt oc it well....

[Skr3wdriv3r]

mate i had an Asus 680i nothing but headaches, then i got an Evga 780i AND OMG, overclocks like a dream no hassels about ram compatibility, im at 4.05ghz 1.28v and im sure i could get more i just haven bothered, tryin to break in teh e8400 for a bit.

[25088221]

many r suggestin to go with p35-ds3l ... watya say ???

[Neohw]

Get a P5K Deluxe, 4,2GHz e8400 here.

[Neohw]

It's simply, Asus has great mobos, the best of all but Nvidia chipsets sucks. Go for a P35 and get high-end ocs.

[altosinclair]

Get the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L I got my OC'd to 4.20 GHZ on my first try. I haven't tried to overclock it again yet.

[mad2000]

any aftermarket cooler?

[altosinclair]

any aftermarket cooler beats the stock fan?

[paul7from7ukr]

yes unless you buy another stock fan

[ToRoNtOGuYY]

QUESTION, can someone plss, help me overclock my E8400 on an Asus P5K SE, ill be more then glad to give out my email, Thanks!!!

[userkc]

FSB 570 ??  That should not be 5G.

[manovagal]

caraca.... nao pensei que esse processador chegava tao longe assim.... é verdade mesmo????

[romaf06]

lol i reserved mine when it first came out in australia and got it for 280 AUD and i cheked now and saw the price has gone up to 420AUD!!

[meownoob]

Hey guys.. would you rather have 3.4 Ghz Q6600 or 4.0Ghz E8400? I have BOTH in my possession and am not sure which to sell because I like them both! I don't do any encoding or anything like that.. mainly use my PC for work and gaming

[nguyenpeter76]

well dual cores are better for gaming right now but i imagine more programs and games utilizing quadcores more in the future. with that said i would say keep q6600 and sell the e8400. you'll most likely get a nice profit from it seeing how its sold out in most places.

[meownoob]

thanks, that's exactly what i'm doing now

[LordNeb]

I would have kept the e8400 tbh... but fair shout. both good chips :)

[LordNeb]

I would have kept the e8400 tbh... but fair shout. both good chips :)

[rainzer0]

motherfucker he has 5 and i cant even get one....

[NikolaAU]

lol yeah that is true.

[janamill]

Oh, and if you people want to know why there hard to find is because there new. Like very new, also theres a few problems with the temperature readings. At least thats what I have heard I haven't proved it wrong, so be weary when over clocking as you may have the wrong temperature.

[Saanax3]

Hehe ;) Im getting this cpu soon ;) and Tuniq Tower 200, :)

Case P182b and Corsair CMPSU-620HXEU ;)

Gotta get some nice noctua fans to case later to keep it cooler :)

[SkeksisRule]

Noctua fans are great. But the Scythe S-flex are cheaper, easier to find, and just as good. (I have both in the same case for comparison)

[COPHARD]

Vamos ver se consigo chegar em 4.0GHz com a minha IN9 32X Max WiFi (680i). O processador está sendo vendido por R$ 590.00 (Fev/08) aqui no Brasil. Chegando em 8x500 1:1 vou ficar satisfeito.

CopHard - Fórum PCs.

[randypanda11]

with a max temp of 107 c. ... im suprised the cpu didnt fry on the spot. My cpu has never seen 40 deg cel. and i oc'd it by 1ghz

[pw0nzor]

its 60 degrees fart

[notuern]

Erh, most CPU's operate at 60-70 deg cel. in the clockrate they are supposed to run at(If they are being stressed to the max.), so thats some wierd CPU's you have used.

[fnatic3]

Sick, can't wait for the day when 5GHz is easily reached with air, Nehalem lets hope will fulfill our dreams.

[BlackSphinxGG]

I've seen you hang around xtremesystems forums, great article on those 5 Wolfdales you got.

I wonder how high I'll go with my good old trusted Zalman 9700.

[remekra]

But this is made with no case, in case temps gonna be bigger, but great oc.

[manooti]

a case with fans might actually provide better cooling with "moving air", 90 cfm zalman fans? a couple of 120's afew 80's and youre good to go

[onoff314]

yeh of course you have it running with a 570fsb of course you do at room temp of course with stock fans 570X9=5.13 ghz u r tard

[PcCI2iminal]

yeh of course you need to learn how to OC and of course you need to understand multi at 6x is not multi at 9x

[darthvaderr]

Iae kra!

acabei de ver la no bloh e vir ver o video..

to doido pra pegar um desses aqui no brasil!

Faz um teste com ele no crysis :D
