SuperPI 1M = 10.750s



I'm close to the wall with air cooling, PC2-6400 ram and an old P965 board.
Anyone doing better without exceeding 1.40 volts?

Here's the link to the previously mentioned store that has lots of Xeon E3110 in stock. Same specs as the E8400 but the Xeon are usually binned and should do higher MHz with less voltage.

Tom's Hardware has a good E8400 overclocking review. Page 6 has a picture of exactly where the cores lay beneath the IHS. Looks like they learned the hard way about the solder!
