First the CPU
is capable of -
So my E8400 died and this is its replacement, I am so happy!
The cards clocked well in stock form - 650 core - up to 750 core and 1000 mem (900 stock)... I felt I could do better and decided to preform a vmod on both cards (figured out by largon ) and settled on 1.3v for now getting to a stable 845/2112/1000 (no mem mod)...for cooling I switched to Accelero S1 Rev2 air coolers with standard 120mm fans.
now as far as cooling goes I use Dunieks 2 piece Aluminum pot with DICE and Acetone ... got like 25-30 lbs for just freaking $10 USD
