The Intel Penryn (45nm) Information and Discussion Thread

Mxps, that's totally awesome news! I just ordered an E8400 last night, so I'm going to push for the same. Good to see we have the same board/cooling. Do you mind sharing your vNB, vFSB-T, and vCore?

Here is my screeny.

Tricky and Ledge68. I updated the list. Thanks the information.

Can you guys start posting up some cooling info/temps on these 4.0+ ghz O/Cs? That would be really helpful

[iewgnem]

What kind of temperature are you guys getting with these? I'm running at 66C load with 1.3375V set in BIOS (1.29V read in CPU-Z) running Orthos Small FFT test (it runs 5C cooler on blend test and 15C cooler in COD4 even though they all read as 100% on both cores)

I have Ultra120 running on OCZ Ultra5+ (AS5 repackage). Didn't lap the Ultra yet though and going to replace compound with some Tuniq TX2 later.

Is the Tuniq TX2 better than AS5???

Yes, not by much though (1-2C)

ok well here is my new 45nm proc. E8400 at 4.0 so far

I managed to score another 8400 (Microcenter in Madison Heights, MI had 55 on Thursday, Jan. 24) and installed it on my Blood Iron. The other one is installed on an Abit IP35 Pro. Here is a comparison of my overclocks on both so far:

Motherboard--------Abit IP35 Pro---------------Blood Iron

Speed core/mem----850/1296------------------634/1009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Pi 1M---------11.328 seconds------------11.016 seconds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Both CPUs are 8400s that are cooled with Zalman CNPS9500s and running Windows XP.

As you can see, the results are pretty even on both chips. The Abit didn't like the higher than 500 FSB that the Blood Iron had no problem achieving. I'll probably tweak a little more but I'm pretty happy with the results that I have right now.
I'll post back if anything changes.
