Booted into windows at 5ghz....

:D:D:

Well i did this pretty quickly, i was able to do a 1M run at 4.9ghz i got about 9.343secs at Case4....

But i thought i could do better but then got a error with the next run, and after that a couple more, but hey 5ghz wasnt too bad to get.

I think also being able to boot into window at 585FSB i think wided its overclocking at x9

oh btw i was using ICE water, big pot of ice and water with the lid on it so that it wouldnt melt so much. wrapped my tubing a crap load in paper towel and put down a lil bit of insulation of the chip socket and then covered with paper towel once again.

Need to figure out whats causing it to get errors at 5ghz.

nicely done do0b.... getting your ice on again... lol.... when you gonna try your hand at phase change?

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 11 Jul 2008, 19:22

So ive Cracked 600FSB and Sub 9 SuperPI check it out, some pics

Add some Alcohol, give the Dice about -20 + onto what it is at -55 so thats -75 to -87 degrees

And now Some Benchies

Some rig shots

Then Idle Temp

W00t.

Thats all for now.

Congratz!

The ice build up under the mobo maybe? Do you live somewhere with high humidity?

EDIT: I like how DFI can display negative values for the CPU temps, I remember PC's used to not be able display negative and report back 200C when actual CPU temp for -56C. Or they used to just go to 0.

Thanks Hex

At least my DFI at reach that 600FSB milestone, and im am exactly even with our very own legendary Extreme overclocker Seth, down in C.T where he has only also reached 600FSB on this motherboard. So i intend to go higher and see if dry ice gives pushes it further or its gives way to a cold bug to the North Bridge. Should be quiet nerve racking but exaggerating.

One set of ram slots are working, so im all good with that, will test the others again in a couple days.

Lookie what i got today..

Might be a LN2 pot but that doesnt mean i cant play with Dice

hey guys i know this is an E8400/E8500 thread and i know the E8500 is king i have heard all that but is the E8600 any good? don't mention anything about price!
Thanks

chowzen · Post by **chowzen** » 16 Nov 2009, 12:23

yo ho ho, elo all...i need some advise...

ive gona past the 4ghz clock on the e8500...it runs fine, for a while, after an hour or so, i get a nice bsod..hardware error. dump memory and then restart.

any ideas as to why? maybe the V on the cpu is too high, ( 1.38 ishV)
strike 2 formula mobo :780i sli
e8500.. it should go over with no probs 24/7

btw, no heat issues at all.

E8600 is king

Slyphar · Post by **Slyphar** » 10 Dec 2009, 20:02

The P5K uses the P35 chipset from intel. Its one of the best overclocking cipsets ever made. You will be able to oc a E8400/E8500/E8600 to 4.4ghz without much trouble

True, i ran my E8600 @ 4.8 Ghz easily on a p5k deluxe.
