    BTW, 45nm != 65nm. Stop feeding it volts that it doesn't need or it'll be the last time you get to 4GHz. Intel overclocking needs to be harder so the nubs don't think they can pull it off easy and then fry their chips... or maybe not... entertaining to hear "oh noes wtf it was 4.5GHz stable but it can't do 4 now"

    EDIT: LAG, delete first post plz.

    Conclusion

    Hey all,

    I don't mean to bring back a dead thread but I just wanted to share my conclusion with the e8400 many years later, since the theory was that it would die due to high voltage.

    The cpu stayed strong at 4ghz 1.62 volts up until last week when i replaced it with a q9550 e0. No errors, no issues..it just does no justice in BF3 even with a modded config and forced rendering DX10.

    I kept the temps stable with a corsair h50.
