**Official e8400/e8500 Retail OC Thread

[Shampoo]

Well I've decided to give back the cpu to my boss and use it in a client's system.

I'm gonna wait on this. My system just isn't stable at default settings either, so bios update is awaiting.

As for this batch? I don't know, but it looks like a lot of people are having to pump a lot of voltage into their E8400s to get above 4GHz or even 4GHz stable.

I will wait on this.

Cheers,
Mike

I got three E8400 retail CPUs to 590fsb on warm air (Summer in my land) with Asus P5B Deluxe Rev 1.04G. That's 590fsb dual 32M Superpi stable.

Results here, but something very odd occurred too.

P5B Deluxe owners, don't throw your board away yet. Test it with 45mm

Dave could you please give some more info about your 748A cpu regarding clocks-volts required (4ghz and up)? I need to choose between 2 of them...
thanks

Hi mate,

Going by memory, the Q744A needed less voltage than Q748A. But Q748A hit higher FSB and was easier to overclock on P5B-D motherboard.

Had very limited time with them, so I cannot give you anymore useful information than that.

I hope you get a good one.
