I just tried undervolting my E8400. I set the CPU voltage at the lowest setting that the P5E-VM's bios allows (1.100v).
Under load CPU-Z is reporting 1.024v (1.064v idle). The good part, under load RealTemp: core0=56C core1=50C, a drop of 4-8C from my previous test, and I believe the ambient...
If you use RealTemp to measure your temperatures they will be reported as 10C lower. As I understand RealTemp is more accurate for the E8400, because of the TjMax temp used 95C vs 105C in CoreTemp.
So you'd be at 34C under idle conditions and 48C under load conditions, which I guess is good...
at 115mm tall it wont fit. My clearance is about 80mm or slightly less :(
It's a bit hard searching for a short HSF, not really a spec that is advertised :P
Just tried reseating it. I used a little bit less AS5 this time, I probably put a wee bit too much last time.
Result: the same :(
I guess I'll have to shop for a new HSF.
Any ideas on a good HSF that is:
1- No wider than the stock intel HSF. It's already almost touching my northbridge...
Any ideas?
I tried to set it to 3-4-4-12 in the Bios, and I couldn't get it to boot at the same voltage setting as when I set it to 4-4-4-12, which leads me to think that there is a difference between setting the CAS latency to 3 or 4 in the Bios. And I am tending towards an error in...
I am using the Asus utility AND CoreTemp and RealTemp, all the latest versions. I just added spaces in the middle of the names ... oops :P.
Ya I was thinking of getting a better HSF, but thought I'd give the stock one a shot, plus make sure of dimensions and what the Microfly case would fit...
I have my E8400 installed on an Asus P5E-VM HDMI board in a Microfly case. Using the stock HSF, and the case has a 80mm intake and a 120mm exhaust (+PSU exhaust). I applied AS5 instead of the paste that was on the HSF. All settings in the Bios are on default (no OC).
Temps under idle:
Asus...
When I set the memory timings to 4-4-4-12 in the BIOS and go back into windows CPU-Z and Everest are detecting the timings as 3-4-4-12.
Is it just a reporting error in CPU-Z and Everest? or is it a BIOS issue?
By the way, I initially had BIOS v.405 and I upgraded to v.503, and its the...
I think I got it resolved. I played around with the power menu settings in the BIOS, and one of the things I changed fixed it ... not quite sure which one :P
I have the BenQ G2400W connected to the HDMI out of the ASUS P5E-VM via a DVI cable, and I am using the HDMI to DVI converter that came with the motherboard.
I have my monitor set to turn off after some time of no use.
When the monitor is sleeping and I try to wake it up by moving the mouse...
I'm probably gonna go with the ballistix tracer.
The XMS2 are for $29 AR, Ballistix for $25 AR, and Tracer for $31 AR. All with free shipping @ the egg. $6 over the lowest price for the wow factor with the tracers seems nice :P
I feel so ashamed :P, my friend was making fun of me this...
So I shouldn't worry about whatever voltage is needed to run at 800MHz - CAS 4? No long term effects?
Just get the cheaper quality DDR2 800 rated for CAS 4?
thanx for the reply
I will use the P5E-VM in a Microfly SX6 case with an E8400 CPU.
I just have to choose my RAM (most components already ordered).
I don't intend to OC, probably not too wise in a tiny uATX case.
So my RAM (2x1GB DDR2-800) choices are Ballistix (BL2KIT12864AA804); Corsair XMS2...
One final question before I finalize my decision on the G2400W.
For my use, do you think it's worth taking a gamble on the Soyo DYLM24D6? (for a VA that's within my budget)
I've noticed from user experiences that the reliability and quality of the Soyo is quite questionable, but the ones who...
