Thread: Intel Core 2 Double E8500 OC

The Intel E8500 is the highest end double core central processing unit recently on the market, it does not acquire any quiker than this… or does it? In this Overclocking report we assume a retail E8500 example for a spin with high end air cooling, than mount a changed phase alters cooling on it, and to over it off pour some liters of LN2 over it.

How high can it fly? How quick does it acquire? Find out now.About a month and a half before, Intel freed its fresher high-end double core processor, the E8500 Wolfdale. Overclocked the E8500, but that was just an engineering example. The fresh retail chips may be excellent when it arrives to overclocking and that is perfectly what we are going to search out!




Underneath, you search the voltage circumstances that functioned excellent for Blind's setting when speaking the maximum possible overclock. To tune your system further, you may need to play with the GTL+ voltage circumstances; for 45nm central processing units, it is significant to search the ideal spots.Let's have a look at the development in function when overclocking. Under you search the bar charts to visualize the function increase.

For try details, please have appear at the screenshots below the bar charts.If you are not into video rendering or other multithreaded apps, this central processing unit will do only fine, no require for a quad-core. If you have achieved an excellent sample, you will be capable to overclock so high on air cooling and less voltage. I have almost hit 5GHz with a plain air cooler!If you have the right CPU board and bios combination, you have a bloody quick benching system.

I had urge an Asus Commando P965 or Dfi LP UT P35-T2R CPU board to overclock these processors. If you are already into DDR3, I had utilize a 790i chipset, if you need to function at a high FSB. With the right bios, the Abit IP35-Pro is reasonably quick, especially in SuperPi 1M, however, for overclocking to the limits, this board does not let you utilize a high FSB.
