    E8600 OC and bench thread

    Hello, everyone. I have a e8600 on p35-ds3 (f13 bios). I've set it on 4200MHz but for now all voltages are set to auto. Also i got four sticks of 1gb ddr2 ram on 840mhz. The cpu voltage is 1.312 on idle and under stress goes a little down to 1.292v. Dimm's at 2.11v. Just wondering if someone...

    E8600 strange behaviour

    Thanks for the advice and help. I'll definitely give it a try. :)

    E8600 strange behaviour

    Won't disabling speed step make it always be at 4GHz?

    E8600 strange behaviour

    I recently bought this CPU. It really easily went up to 4GHz and is very stable at that frequency. When the CPU is idle its frequency is 2400 (400*6) and when is stressed it gets 4000 (400*10). So far nothing peculiar. But sometimes when the CPU is stressed with some heavy software program...

    Stalker: Clear Sky Thread

    Is anyone playing the english version patched to 1.5.03 under Vista 64bit? I cannot start the game under this OS. It keeps repeating something's wrong with remote access or control...

    GPUs killed by Clear Sky

    Incompetent developers = unoptimized and shitty games like Clear Sky. The game's just written awfully. It's not your rigs slowing you down.

    RAM Timings

    Which set of DDR2 800Mhz timings is better? 4-4-4-12 or 5-5-5-15?

    Is it better for overclocking the functions C1E and EIST to be turned off?

    E8600 OC and bench thread

    Ok, i put +0.1V on the NB (MCH) and now the Vcore is 1.248. About the RAM voltages. When i open CPU-Z it says i have 1.8V but Everest says i have 2.11 (under DIMM section). Which one should i trust? :?

    E8600 OC and bench thread

    Ok. I've tried booting at 1.25Vcore at 4GHz but it couldn't. Should i touch the other voltages in order to make the cpu boot at that voltage? I'm not aiming at any higher than 4ghz. Now the vcore is 1.312 and i think it's high :?

    What is PPL? I'm a lil dumb at overclocking :shy:

    E8600 OC and bench thread

    MCH is the north birdge, yes. Everest shows that DIMM is 2.11V so i won't touch the ddr2 voltage. Is 1.25Vcore for example suitable at 4ghz and should i touch the fsb, pci-e and the north bridge voltages?

    E8600 OC and bench thread

    The voltages i can change in the bios are as follows: 1)DDR2 Overvoltage Control 2)PCI-E overvoltage control 3)FSB Overvoltage Control 4)MCH overvoltage control - i think this is the north bridge voltage control? 5)CPU Voltage Control Everything set to auto. I can't find the south bridge...

    E8600 OC and bench thread

    Hi. I have a p35-ds3 board with four sticks of 4 gig supertalent cl4 memory and 8600. All my voltages in the bios are set to auto. What would be your recommendations to get the maximum of the cpu at 4 ghz. Especially i'm asking how should i change the voltages...
