**Official e8400/e8500 Retail OC Thread

[Vinas]

Just got done helping a friend with his e8400. Here is the comparison between his chip and mine. What interests me is that his CPU has a higher "stock vcore" yet uses less vcore to stay stable at 4GHz. Temps are about the same using ultra 120x. I would think it should be the other way around... Maybe the higher FSB needs more vcore for the CPU to be stable? Any thoughts? See below.
