Hey guys, if you want to post your batch numbers here and Highest stable OC, I'll keep them in post #1 for quick reference. We'll see how the batches hold up to the OC's.

Intel CPU Info
Detailed Info

Here is a great thread by linskingdom on 45nm processors.

I believe this is a record!!

For those with temperature/voltage questions or issues with these CPU's, you might wanna read the following:

Please note, that by sayiing "Official" below, I don't mean that it will be published worldwide on any websites or anything like that, it's just my way of saying thanks for posting your OC's here!

Enjoy!!

My batch: Q740A525T

I don't get as lucky as some people, 1.3V 4.0ghz. Maybe my RAM is holding me back.

 

[NCspecV81]

From what I've saw with results it's actually all over the place. Just pray you get something good.

4.0GHz at 1.32v is better then most. I've seen on average 3.8GHz with 1.35v.

So far from the posts I've seen here on OCN 4.0GHz very likely. Some have reached up to 4.3GHz.

Where's you get your CPU from NC??

Hey guys, if you want to post your batch numbers here and Highest stable OC, I'll keep them in post #1 for quick reference. We'll see how the batches hold up to the OC's.

 

[Oblivion77]

I am just curious, what is your guys' NB Voltages? Is it good to raise these when you overclock?

If Intel is anything like my AMD system, it definitely won't hurt to try. Some like it, some don't. (I'm totally new to Intel)

Yeah when getting a high FSB it's a must. to make 500fsb stable I need 1.7v on the NB.

 

[Oblivion77]

Hmm maybe ill try upping my NB voltage, it is at 1.37V right now. What kind of temps can the NB take?

batch # Q740A523

$189.99 from MicroCenter.

Found someone with this batch, and its slightly less friendly (even thought hey all overclock great from what i've read)

Just for the sake of keeping a batch list, this is one of them. Unfortunately i had to RMA my board, and i wont be overclocking untill next week. But i think this topic should be kept going. I also have lots of message boards bookmarked where batch numbers and speeds are thrown around. So i'll post up what i've found.

Thanks Prime!!Let me know what you end up with on your OC and good luck

Nice Carpenter, Any chance you ever got that 4.5GHz stable??

 

[iewgnem]

I love my batch
Q743A748 dated 01/04/08

Currently running stable at 4.13GHz on 1.3375V/1.296V BIOS/CPUZ
Could run 4.3GHz on 1.40V/1.36-1.38V BIOS/CPUZ
Higher than that and heat becomes a problem...
otherwise I define stable as 1 hour Orthos CPU stress.

When you guys post voltages, do you use CPUZ after Vdrop or just BIOS settings?

Defintitely use the BIOS setting. More accurate than any software program I've ever seen. Also, try for a longer stresstest. I've had my PC's do P95 for 6 hours stable, but the seventh hour it would crash.......

Thanks for the info!!

Nope. Unfortunately, I think 4.5ghz would need well over 1.45vcore with this chip. I might go there in a couple weeks if it seems these chips can take it, but I've read about too many guys getting degradation over 1.4v - meaning within like a week at high voltage they start to lose stability.

I'm not saying it's true yet, but like I said I want to wait and see how it all shakes out. If in a month tons of these chips get fried over 1.4v, I'll keep it at a cozy 4ghz 1.35vcore and close the case.

Mine is Q743A748 I got it at NCIX U.S for $188
4.05Ghz stable with 1.35v.

Thanks Ledge!!

The batch code for my E8400 is Q746A519. I've only gotten it up to 3.6 without a voltage increase, and I'm sure it can go a lot further, I just haven't really played around with it yet because of my ****ty memory.
