Hey all,

Just hit 4.05GHZ stable on my E8400 (Not E0 stepping) on air, idles at 32C after 12 hours of ORTHOS the highest temp recorded was 49C. I am really happy lol

Voltage is at 1.312, is that alright for normal everyday usage?

If it only hits 32 degrees C... Go higher >: ).

What voltage?

[Dolce.Gabbana]

See edit ^

[Dolce.Gabbana]

Alright, no more lol

Stable at 4.1GHZ, I am going to run Prime95 for a couple hours to verify stability

lol thanks, you can probably go higher with yours as well.

Stop when you get to 60*C or 1.4V.

[VFR_Pierre]

Yeah, that's a nice OC. Don't pass 1.4V.

@ Pip, for these 45nm duals, the max is 60*C? I thought it was 70*C (because that's what it is for my quad).

[tropicalfish]

60 for longer life I suppose?

Nice overclock, how are you cooling it?

Nice overclock, pretty darn good for not having a E0 stepping CPU.  Still can't beat me though!

Toby comparing C0 to E0 isn't exactly fair, you know that!   lol

My woman's machine has an 8400 E0 and it's chugging along at 4.5Ghz 1.38(1.4v bios) 27/7. My E8500 struggled to hit 4.3.

On air, Masscool 8WA741 lol not to shabby for a $30 cooler

For now Toby, Once this weekend rolls around I will have gotten it as high as it can go

I'm going all out tonight, watch me!

haha, I can see it. By Sunday night we both will have fried out CPU's (or oc'd the crap outta them )

[_TW_]

Yeah that's a real possibility tonight.  I'll be setting up my system outside maybe and see how far I can push it.   Last record was 4.545GHz so we'll see!

Well if were going to be going outside I think -10C plus windchill will help me along quite a bit  

Let the games begin  

[RussianMenace]

Jet, careful how much voltage you push through it.  

Happy overclocking!

I've run a chip at 95*C before, but it's by no means a good idea. I run my E6600 at a max of 70*C, but I recommend 60*C.

Do as I say, not as I do.

[VFR_Pierre]

I run my quad @ like 69*C using P95, but it stays always below 45*C when I'm playing FSX.

[_NW_]

Very nice, I have the E8400 too, but still running at 3.0Ghz..   I really don't see a need to OC it..   but I know it's one heck of a chip when you OC it
