Just got my e8400, will recieve mobo (maximus formula) within 2 days.

I have a Q827A345, but haven't found any oc-results, I will post them here.
It says S-SPEC:SLB9J
Pack date: 08/14/08

It says:
Version: E43455-001 1.26V max, is this normal? I can run it on 1.4 max right?
Yes, no worries!
It has been discussed over a thousand times, but then again!
You can safely give 1.400V to the CPU from the BIOS! Which actually will be lower than 1.400V because of vdrop, as you know.
Well, of course, you need a proper (air) cooling solution, which is almost everything but the stock cooler, and you'll be fine.
