My test system:

Intel C2D E7200
ASUS Maximus Formula (bios version 1004)
OCZ ReaperX PC2-8500
MSI NX8800GT
Tagan 700W
Western Digital RaptorX
Water cooler made by SWC.


The CPU can stable at 4.2GHz with Vcore 1.4875volt.







And with Vcore 1.5volt I can run PI at 4.3GHz but cant run Cinebench 9.5 or anything else.



Tomorrow, I'll try it with Dry Ice.

I'm a little confused. What's the diff between the E8200/8400/8500 and this E7xxx series?

[thuongkiet82]

E7xxx have only 3MB Cache L2 and FSB 1066MHz.
E8xxx have 6MB Cache L2 and run FSB 1333MHz.

cache

But aren't they $165 over there? (Vietnam)

P.S.: Are you representing Amaze Testlab?

Edit: (And someone beat me to the difference question. )

Edit again: Never mind. Just checked the retail price. $161? Not bad... but if it was at $140, it would have been more "worth" it. For $30 or $40, you can easily grab a E8400.

And edit again: Never mind again. $147 in Ha Noi. Not too bad, I guess. Now if only I can ask anyone to ship one out to me...

Nice results!! Keep pushing it! MAybe some LN2 next time? Also can you check maxfsb on a 965 board?

If that's the case, I would've gotten the E7xxx which is also cheaper Don't need the 6MB cache anyway. Who needs them for games?

They'll kind of help... a bit. Not that your games would run any faster when they are bottlenecked by your graphics card, though.
