As long as he doesn't want to use any filtering/post processing and so on, trims up a MKV very nicely over standard

See i play around with that kinda stuff so i generally chase a bit more grunt

Everyone is a bit different in that regard

hi guiys just wonder what the go is with my comp, its a E8500 (stock 3.16). zymatec cooler, and ddr2 1066 ram.

i tryed OCing it a little as i didnt wanna go to crazy, so i tryed around 3.3-3.8, in a variety of differnt setups and everytime i turned it on, got the core temp reading and it was just getting hotter and hotter at idle, to the point i didnt even wanna atempt to run it thru OTTC or anything like that.

was about to give up, but did a little more reading, and decided to give it a go at 4.19ghz, 420bus 9.5x, and left the core voltage running on auto (generally sits around 1.54v) and its running sweet, only a few degrees over stock.

any ideas what the go is there? have i just found a sweet spot for it? is it gonna be a problem for the life of the CPU? (this is why i only wanted to OC a little)

am loving it at this speed, and if its not gonna bother it then ill leave it as is.

other than that, anyone had a go at overclocking a 285gtx nvidia card? think i wanna give it a little more ooomph

1.54 vore (if thats what CPU-Z shows)... then that is WAY over the limit for that chip.

Im pretty sure they are spec'd to a max of 1.45vcore...

You should NEVER run voltages on auto when overclocking heavily. Even minor clocks manually setting things is advised as often mobo's over/under volt.

ohhh, i tryed manual, but it kept blue screening, didnt matter where i put it

so its gonna pop at that voltage?

ok, so what you said scared me a bit, i tryed other voltages, and got nothing but a blue screen on startup, so ive set it back to stock. even on the stock 3.16ghz, its still sits at 1.375v in CPUZ, that seems a bit high to me for stock, ive read peeps running 1.25v with a mild overclock, WTF is going on???

Edited by boiracer

ok now im freakin out a little more. acording to intel my voltage range is 0.85-1.3625

done some MORE reading, and exceeding 1.4v on my chip is DONE AT OWN RISK ( i thought it all was :( ) as the 45nm cant take it as much as the 65mn units

but its running almost that straight up standard, ive even reset the bios to bog standard.....

so true, thnx heaps, no where in my hrs of reading did anyone mention not to run it at auto, ive now cranked it nicely down to 3.8ghz at 1.26v, uber stable, with icy cold temps, even in prime or OTTC or orthos im getting no more than 50 degrees

soi from what im running now, there is sooooo much room for ramping it up more, but im happy with 3.8ghz,thats what i was looking for in the first place.

on auto voltage it was always running 1.55v even at only 3.4ghz, hence why it was hotter at lower clocks i guess.

so heres the finished product, let me know what you think

E8500 3.16ghz (stock)

clocked to 3.8ghz 400fsb x 9.5 (standard multiplier)

Vcore 1.264 (CPU-Z) 1.30625v (bios)

idles at 29-30 degrees

full load stress test 47-50 degrees

ok now im freakin out a little more. acording to intel my voltage range is 0.85-1.3625

its not a question of taking it, its just that the chips are designed to operate in certain confines, and the 45nm process needs less than 65nm

I have been lazy and haven't installed a thing, but with good reason, no really. I bought a Lian Li PC-V351 Black with a DFI LanParty JR P45-T2RS, GSkill Trident DDR2 1066 and E7500 to make a HTPC/LAN box which will go with a dual digital tv tuner and 9800GTX. Once that is together, which I think it jsut got delivered, then I'll dismantle the i7 and put the Classified block on.

My monstrosity of a HTPC/LAN box is complete and just needs a whole bunch of software installed. It's pretty terribad but it works. The Lian Li case was already modified for parts I don't have but the holes did come in handy. Mega tight fit to get the 9800GTX water cooling in place.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
