I figured I'd share my FAH results with my new E8400. I'm getting just over 3K ppd, or about 8:30/frame @4GHZ (8x500) on a 2605 in vm/ubuntu. Not sure if this is inline with a Conroe @4GHZ. Best part about this is my ASUS P5B-E p965 board still has some life left in it!

Wow, what a difference that OC makes! I just got mine together last night at stock frequency because I don't have decent ram or a good cooler yet.

what he doesnt tell you is that at 9x with lower fsb he could do 4.2ghz 24/7 folding stable :)

mark my words from the past 45nm dualies doing 4.2-4.3ghz stable for 24/7 rigs..

all we need now is intel to "fix" those 45nm quads so we can get some 4ghz quads in here!!!!

I tried. Anything above 4.06Ghz (9x452) is unstable for me, and my temps get in the high 50s with a cold ambient temp. Not sure if it's my my board or what. I should try my IC Diamond soon.

Anyway, I watched some frame times, and they're nearly identical for 8x500 and 9x450. I figured I'd be better off with the higher memory bandwidth and higher FSB.
 
well you wouldnt since hte NB timings get much looser when you go over 499fsb.. it basicly kills your ram bandwitdh vs 450 or even 480fsb.. i would take the 450x9 to not stress the NB since TPF is the same.
 
Oh, is there a strap change at 500? I know there was one at 401 or 400. This the P5B-E we're talking about btw. I'll try 499 and see what happens.
 
o wait nvm.. i keep thinking people have p35's now... your right for p965 it changes at 401 for p35 its on 500.. nvm then....
 
Gotcha. I didn't know about the 500FSB strap on the p35s. Is that the only strap, or is there one at 400 too? Maybe thats why my quad doesn't like 9x400 FSB on my Abit IP35-E under a folding load. Or maybe it just can't do 3.6Ghz on air...

Tisiriel,

You must be running Windows SMP to be @ 524ppd/Ghz
