Just received my Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 retail chip

[Brolloks]

Nice 3d06 score @ stock man! Is that chip on water?

Yes, funny thing is core 2 in Core temp stays at 42 C all the time, also Bios reports CPU temp as 1 C which is off couse not possible unless you're on phase.
I think these wolfies confuse the Bios and other programs with respect to core and CPU actual temps
Tj-Max is also 105 C not 100 C as I would have expected?

It takes my 6600 @3825 and my 8800GTS @648/900 to hit 12031 in 3d06!!

Who is going to get to 500 first?

 

[hokiealumnus]

Heh...1.112Vcore for both of you; is that right?? If so, good lord, you could breathe on these things and keep them cool!

Ghost, you're killing us man! Must live vicariously through those that have money! (and don't have a baby on the way of course )

 

[Brolloks]

This CPU is amazing, took me hours on my previous E6850 to get to this

My conroe runs no hotter...this is at day in day out oc settings...

I have a supposedly inferior SI128 fan........

Nice clocks there brollocks..what are your mobo voltages at?

 

[dylskee]

Wow, nice superPI run Brolloks! Do you think 4GHz is going to be stable? And what voltage are you running to hit 4GHz?

 

[downer]

Awesome chip so far Brolloks. Great thread as we'll be able to compare at least three different people's overclocks with the 8400 in the next few days.

Guitar Hero Guitar Hero Guitar Hero??!!??!!

LOL!!!

Ran prime95 for 5 minutes, seems to be OK, obviously need to run it for longer to see if 24/7 stable
Bios v-core is at 1.405 Volts

Brollocks where did you order that cpu from ?

 

[ghost_recon88]

He got his from the same place as mine, same batch and everything. In an hour, I'm kicking my friend to the TV, and I'm gonna start ocing mine. I'll probably be up all night.

 

[Rattle]

cool ty OOS though

 

[ghost_recon88]

ok, I kicked my friend off. Overclocking now

 

[Brolloks]

Some more...running Prime95 as well to test for stability

 

[mystfied]

*drool* I want this power! :O

but it's getting a little toasty there, eh? 67 C?
