**Official e8400/e8500 Retail OC Thread

[Leeghoofd]

these are my results.
I know this aint a E8400 or E8500 but it the same core though
this is my max for now.

Nice CPU mate, batch nr plz ? But would love to see more tests as 1mb Pi run can be done on a pretty unstable system

this may be inane, but would there be a benefit of going from 6850 to one of the 8x00 models? If so, which one? Have an IP35pro now and was thinking of changing to the IP45 instead (if that matters). . ..

If your current cpu also does 4ghz, no need to step up at the moment... if not, 4ghz is a breeze with these Wolfdale CPU's , if you get a good batch you can do 4ghz sub 1.3volt...and you get a bit more cache... On P45 these crazy cpu's do 500-600FSB without hesitation...
