Got my e8400 the other day. Its great

I have read alot of different things about degrading of the chip. Some pepole say: dont go over 1.4 vcore, some says 1.45 and some says that 1.5 wouldnt hurt the chip.

I would very much like to have the opinion from someone who Knows what he/she is talking about.

What vcore is safe with a good aircooler?


I get my chip totaly stable with 1.375 (bios) at 4005 mhz and around 1.45 for 4200.

Not the best chip, but Im satisfied with that. Of course I´d like to go higher , but not of the cost of my new chip..
