I have been pouring the volts to 2 e8400's since January 21,2008 and January 28,2008.
Neither proceessor has seen less than 1.518 and both have seen well over 1.6 about 1/3 of the time
One has resided full time on my P5E and the other has split time with my P5Ke- wifi and my P5Q-Pro
the P5Q-pro is well just no where near my idea of a great board. Actually I hate it on many levels!!
Yesterday I decided It was time once again to torture my e8400 with some benching. So I cranked it up!!
the processor was running at 1.675 in the bios on my P5E but as you can see it will be much less in reality
the cpu pll was set at 1.72 the NB was set at 1.7 and the mem was set at 2.22.
My 260GTX on Aquamark was crnaked to the freakin max!!!.
I have a liquid cooled processor but stock air on the 260GTX. I pump cold air into my case from outside via the
radiator so it is Xtremely cold in my case. as a matter of fact my freakin case itself is freezing!!
my case is actually 38.9F right now. My radiator temp is 29F my G.Skill memory is 44.1F I use a temp gun on everything!!

Here is what I did yesterday . these are my highest scores to date at my highest clocks. So I can tell you after 11 months there is no degradation
happening with my chips!



As you can see a little cold air helps kick my completely stock vanilla MSI 260GTX right into overdrive!!


I should have an e8600 but Stalliontek sent my a 7300ES instead!! They just got it back today so when the refund shows
I am going step up to the 8600 and shoot for the stars with it!!

The P5E coupled with G.Skill 6400HZ memory and this processor has been the beat system i have EVER owned!!
