There has been a lot of talk of those chips easily breaking the 4Ghz mark, most even as high as 4.2-4.5Ghz. Beautiful chip!

EDIT NM

finally i got mine to get stable @ 4,4ghz , but the damn ram sticks are holding me back from going further.
Well, this is as far as it goes on my rig: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=321595

damn good these gigabyte boards, not much vdroop, pitty that the cpu voltage can't be much tweaked above 1.6 , as there are only 1.8 and 2.0 above that.
for those OC'ing in one of these, remember to turn off C.I.A. and EIST at the bios.

Damn, I'm impressed.
Although I'm sure I'll take some shots at a higher clock- you know, for educational purposes- I'd be leery of applying that much voltage on a daily basis.

So far, I have yet to lose any hardware to an overclocking accident and don't particularly feel like starting now.
Besides, the platform is so damn capable at stock speeds that any improvements will only show up in benchmarks, not my daily usage.

That said, could you show us a SuperPi (1M) run at 4.4GHz?

[Cabalo]

when i arrive home i'll put here a screenie, right now i'm working.
btw, the cpu needed 1.488 REAL volts (1.5375 at bios) and is running at 58ºC at full load.

Just swangin' the peen...


Still no voltage bump...testing for stability soon.

[Detale]

Had to beat me didn't you

[clocker]

well, um...yeah.

BTW, for all you Wolfdale guys, check this out-an accurate temp sensor app for the e8400.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work in my 64 bit XP, hopefully he will fix this.
Looks pretty good for you 32 bit guys though.

[Detale]

It says that both of my sensors are bad core 0 is 13 and core 1 is 0 I need to read more to find out what that means, you have any idea Clock?

[clocker]

At this point, not a clue.
I kinda lost interest when it failed to install on my OS.

Might install Pro x86 just to see what happens though...

Edit:
Now at 4.2GHz.
No stability test yet but SuperPi runs...

Really would like to break into the tens.
Hmmm...

Second edit:
Craps out immediately in Orthos.
Have upped the memory and northbridge voltage to no avail.
This might require fiddling with the memory timings (which are stock @ 5,5,5,15) but my knowledge here is minimal and I'm not sure what is to be gained for the effort.
Might be time to drop back down to 4GHz and call it a day.

4 aint a bad number at all. I ordered some new ram so I will continue the tests then.
