It's not that I wasn't stable at 3.6; it's that I didn't give it a chance to fail. I knew this chip could do better.

Now priming at 4.05ghz @ 1.33v in bios. When I tried 4.2 it would not even do one iteration of prime before failing even at 1.36v so I knew I was hitting the point of diminishing returns. I might try to optimize further to get 4.2 stable but 4.05 was my goal so I'm good here for now.

Hello, my first post on this forum so i hope it's gonna be a good one. Yesterday I've installed a Scythe Ninja Plus so i wanted to see what can my e8400 do. The FPO is Q746A496 and it's pack date 1/31/08. Tell me what do you think about the temperatures and give me tips because i need them . I know it should be a 1 hour Orthos test, but i got bored after 10 minutes .

Wow, going for the gusto! Looks ok to me but how much vcore and which board are you using. I just put one of these in my IP35 Pro but haven't tested it much. Pack date is 3/18/08. Right now I'm just seeing how far it can go on default vcore.
