Hey all,

I don't mean to bring back a dead thread but I just wanted to share my conclusion with the e8400 many years later, since the theory was that it would die due to high voltage.

The cpu stayed strong at 4ghz 1.62 volts up until last week when i replaced it with a q9550 e0. No errors, no issues..it just does no justice in BF3 even with a modded config and forced rendering DX10.

I kept the temps stable with a corsair h50.
