[veg1992]

Yeah i got my e8400 overclocked to 4ghz at 45C Full load.

I could go lots higher but i got bad ram

Nice use of reliability "bathtub" curves as they are called - nice comments on how the warranty is determined. I took two classes on this subject from an 80 year old turkish dude, reading it almost brought back bad memories of boredom.

I would probably consider the E8400 as more of a sweet spot for overclocking (based off what I've read) than the E8500. Lower price and clocks within a few percent of the more expensive E8500

 

[alexsabree]

yeah right now the e8500 is a waste considering you can overclock both way too easily to make the price even considerable.

Man sometimes Anandtech can put out some really stupid articles.

hehe...i love it...maybe this means the price of the e8400 will drop, so i can replace this ****** e6750.

 

[veg1992]

wait what happened to your opty system?

and how is an e6750 crappy
