My e8400 just came in today! I will complete my new system once I am done with classes today. That includes the 5 hour class I have starting at 5:00pm
PS: This is going to be my first PC that I built and my first CPU that I am going to overclock(CANT WAIT!)

Try the last, with it it show the right vid.
had a q750a e8400 and it needed 1.43 volts real to be orthos stable changed it for this q745a533 and this one is orthos stable so far at 1.272 volts, at 4050mhz
I got my 8400 today with an abit IP35 dark raider motherboard.
=> this is my stepping : Q746A495
You guys think it's a good one?
The Q750A seem the poorest batch so far. Cant get any stability at 4Ghz with upto 1.45v.had a q750a e8400 and it needed 1.43 volts real to be orthos stable changed it for this q745a533 and this one is orthos stable so far at 1.272 volts, at 4050mhz
Got a Q746A coming hopefully tomorrow so i hope i get better luck with that
