Unofficial E8400/E8500 E0 Overclocking Club

dark2099 · Aug 30, 2008, 02:31 AM

So I decided to make this club so that people with these chips and people interested in these chips can see what they are capable of. Both Trt740 and I have an E8400 E0 that we both purchased from our local Microcenter for $149.99+tax(which in Chicago hurts). I decided on doing unofficial since it is not done in any way related to or involved with TPU, of course if it were that would be great.

I will work on the lay out over time and feel free to give me tips on how to upgrade/change/etc. Correct me if I am wrong about wPrime, haven't really used it but going to include it and try it myself. Thanks to Shadowfold for doing the E7200 club which gave me the idea for this club.

Fiddling around. 1.25v in BIOS, 1.232v at idle and under load with load line calibration enabled.

Here is after a couple minutes idle.

Nice results! I wish I had an E8600 to tinker with but I'm poor + I live in the UK, which isn't a good combo lol. Wish I could get a nice new E0 e8400 but may have to wait a while to for the old stock to clear out first

dark2099 · Aug 31, 2008, 01:45 AM

First Vantage run, about 800 less than my E8500 at 4.5GHz. 1.2 or 1.21v in BIOS.

dark2099 · Sep 6, 2008, 02:03 AM

Vista may have been acting up so going to fiddle with XP for a bit, first run with the E8400 and 4850 at stock.

boogah · Sep 17, 2008, 03:50 AM

Just got an E0 today had to update my bios to 0410 rampage for it to boot.

VID is 1.25
lil higher than my old E8400 which was at 1.225 and was running 4.6 stable also before it died.

it will run 4.6 stable at 1.422 Vcore idles at 31C 46C load under the duorb. Might try it under water later.

I just ordered a new e8500 from ZZF. I'm really hoping it's an EO. They go through stock quickly, so I think it's possible!

boogah · Sep 17, 2008, 03:59 AM

you should go to microcenter and pick and choose your CPU.

LOL, yeah the closest Microcenter is like 200 miles from here.

boogah · Sep 17, 2008, 04:04 AM

o yah forgot none in your state. They did an exchange on mine since my old one died the other day they just hand me a box and told me to swap it out. Then i spent about 20 mins in their back room picking another E8400 and a Q6600.

I should have just asked one of you guys to grab one for me. Did you see any e8500 EO's?

boogah · Sep 17, 2008, 04:08 AM

they have the E0 E8500 for 179.95

the E8400 were 149.95

they also got the Q9550 i think 299

If I return my e8500 to ZZF, could you pick me up a 8500 EO if I sent you some cash?

Fitseries3 · Sep 17, 2008, 04:27 AM

boogah · Sep 17, 2008, 04:32 AM

LOL I know, I mean the thread title only mentioned the e84 and e85

dark2099 · Sep 22, 2008, 02:59 AM

Fitseries started the 8600 OC and Bench thread, so I figured I would do one just for the 8400 and 8500.

sno.lcn · Sep 22, 2008, 03:07 AM

Good thinking. I was just worried about the e86 feeling left out

Fitseries3 · Sep 22, 2008, 04:12 AM

my highest OC yet............

sno.lcn · Sep 22, 2008, 04:22 AM

You, sir, are a beast Fit

Fitseries3 · Sep 22, 2008, 04:39 AM

hows that........

sno.lcn · Sep 22, 2008, 05:04 AM

It's a little too fast don't you think? It looks like you're about to blow some fets on your board man
