after a lot of reading ppl say under 1.4V is safe. So like 1.38 and lower is good. That is what I currently have but trying to get past 4.2Ghz without increasing the cpu vcore.
you got any ideas lol?

well it rebooted last night lol but just passed a intelburntest at 5 times at max but need to work on the mobo settings cuz highest in windows was 7.5x575fsb :D killed that 480 i max on the E6400 and X3350 i had

but might still get a P5Q Dlx or MAX II idk yet might wait for i7 to come out for and old P965 it still works P5B Dlx

also whats the 24/7 mac vcore you go by ? 1.38- ?

Yeah on air I go 1.37-1.38 max for 24/7 otherwise it gets too hot.

how do you know since Tcase max is 74.1C? Are you using an IR thermometer, or thermocouple on the IHS?

;)

Dont look at others results, there can be many differences ;mobo, VID.

Great overclock already dom :up:

Well I'm a little pissed and happy about my parents new PC. It runs cool and overclocks well. Unfortunately their E8400 overclocks a lot better than mine.

vCore: 1.25V (BIOS)

Mine (C0) needs ~1.4V in order to become stable at 4.0Ghz. :shakes:

good with 1.232v

LOL! Funniest thing I've read today. Tell Leeghoofd to put your parent's e8400 on his list, LOL! :rofl::ROTF::rofl:

Lol, you guys are too sweet. :rofl:

Yeah I told them and honestly they wouldn't care. To be honest, I want them to have a relatively 'cool' computer since it gets somewhat hot in their office and I need a chip that can sustain low voltages at higher frequencies.

That said, I will most likely just sell my E8400 in hoping that I can get a E0 someplace else. *crosses fingers*

Their PC specs:
Asus P5Q Pro
E8400 E0 (8x500, E0 stepping, 1.25V)
OCZ Vendetta 2 (using my custom bolt kit, does the job well)
2x1GB Patriot PC2-8500 (crappy overclockers but I had some spare sticks so I decided to use them.. ;))
WD 320GB HDD
Samsung 22X DVD writer
Corsair 620HX
BFG 8800GT OC (sounds funny but came from my build after I upgrade to an 8800GTX)

All inside a 1 1/2 year old Thermaltake Armor. :)
