Well, that depends. What temperatures do you (or would you) get under load with a E8400/E8500 at 4.0ghz and 1.45V if you are using a quiet CPU fan (1000-1500rpm)? I am guessing it gets pretty hot and might not be a workable configuration 24/7.

On the other hand, if people are getting 4.0ghz with default Vcore on the E8600, that might be feasible with a quiet air cooling solution.
