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

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

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.

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head. (me)
    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When’s the tow ball on the 33 coming? 🙃
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
