I have a question for somebody who is watching this topic frequently. I just want to know which are the worst E8xxx CPUs in terms of max FSB, voltage needed for 3.6/4GHz and so on. And which are the best ones?
My E8400 Q745A822 goes 3.6GHz with default voltage, also max stable with 1.225V is 9x400, it needs 1.375V for 9x445, actually 1.36875V set in BIOS works fine too. I'm currently still in the phase of testing 9x467 and 9x480, but 467 should be stable at 1.4875V, and 480 is stable at 1.55V, just have to try lower voltage, though 1.525V is not enough. Max FSB is 480, sad but true.
So my guess would be average 3.6 and 4GHz capability, and below average FSB, perhaps even one of the worst.
@Tibu: Interesting, max rated voltage is now 1.25V, mine has 1.225V.
