to be honest 4.0 is a big joke for a e8600

Ya....I reallly don't understand why people just trying to hit 4ghz only on a EO stepping. nothing new with 4ghz.....4.5+ghz is where it's at.

exactly 4.0 is easy with a e6850 or e8400
i even did 4.0 with my old e6400 lol
and 4.5 is easy too

lol i just played cod4 for an hour 1920X1200@ 4.6@ 1.38v and i dont run my memory below 1200mhz
i dont do prime more than an hour
my problem is gettin 5.0+ under 1.5v i dont like goin over 1.45 for 24/7
4.6 is ok for now until my next cpu

well...running those speeds with out 8hours prime is nothing to me also. my co 8400 does 4.2ghz 8hrs prime on air. but 4.5+ 8hours prime e8600 I would be interested in.

In a few years on XS, I have only seen a handfull of people claiming their CPU had "degraded" over time... Now, be Xtreme and push that chip up to 1,45V

my e6850 has degraded but who cares i did 4.0+ for a year
1.45 i think is safe over 1.5 not for 24/7 for me

go ahead stress your system all you want
to me 1 hour is my max for prime
if it dont crash playin games @4.6 for hours its good enough for me
