Got my E7400

h3llb3nd4 · Apr 30, 2009, 02:33 PM

I swapped my beloved E2220 and w810i for it

I wonder how far I can take it on stock cooling...

any suggestions?
(please list coreV as well

)

h3llb3nd4 · Apr 30, 2009, 06:04 PM

Well I got it onto 3.15ghz with 1.24v
any one else

?

stanhemi · Apr 30, 2009, 06:05 PM

on stock cooler 1,25vcore is the max you can go i think what your temps?

erocker · Apr 30, 2009, 06:06 PM

You should know every chip is different. Do what we all do, up the FSB, check for stability etc...

TRIPTEX_CAN · Apr 30, 2009, 06:06 PM

My friend can get 4.0Ghz @ 1.38-1.4 with his E7400

h3llb3nd4 · Apr 30, 2009, 06:09 PM

@ stan: ok I check now...

@ Trip: so do you think I'll be able to go furthur?

I'm still trying to get use to this new baby

Still tinking of my old E2220, and I keep on upping the voltage everytime

I keep on thinking that I might be putting too little

TRIPTEX_CAN · Apr 30, 2009, 06:12 PM

You should be able to go further but get a better cooler first.

Get something like a Swifty H20-120 and you should be good for almost 4Ghz (YMMV)

h3llb3nd4 · Apr 30, 2009, 06:17 PM

my temps are around 40 degrees centigrade idle

I wish I could pursuade my father to allow me to get the OCZ Vendetta II, but he said I must get into the top five(at school) then he'll let me get one

stanhemi · Apr 30, 2009, 06:19 PM

40c idle on stock cooler ishhh don't increase your vcore anymore.

h3llb3nd4 · Apr 30, 2009, 06:20 PM

ok

I don't want to kill her...

stanhemi · Apr 30, 2009, 06:23 PM

stay under 1,25 vcore and you should be fine (try to check your temps and stability at full load with occt or orthos 95)

hey TRIPTEX MTL i just notice your from mtl too

i wish i could still get those incentives :O but i think top five is easy for you with all the A's you get! Those Ocz's are the best we have in this country i reckon. Where are you getting it from?

I'm running at 3.67GHz with 1.368 volts set in the BIOS and showing 1.34 in Windows. Stock cooling. On a pure CPU stress test the cores see up to 70C and proc 74C, but I don't see it as a problem as long as it's stable.

My CPU/Cores idle at 37 though, and that isn't affected by ambient temps so you should check your HSF install.

And I didn't up my volts to get a stable 3.2 or 3.3GHz.
