Hi there guys,

You guys getting below 70C for stock cooler? Issit the same silver base cooler or those older copper bottom stock cooler?
Even at stock speed, my E8500 has 57~58 idling temp and full load temp at 82C. This is with stock intel cooler with silver bottom.
I went to buy those older Coolermaster cooler with copper bottom today. Installed already, idling temp still 52C and full load temp is 74C.
If I overclock it to 400FSB @ 3.8GHz, idling at 55~57C and full load @ 79C.

I wonder what did you guys do because your temp seem so far away from mine. Mine is E8500 C0.
Will try 4GHz later...

Sure?
From what I search, only found some processor has stucked temp.
Where can I find more info on this?

E0 overclock better as it runs cooler.
It doesnt matter for me as I dont overclock like crazy...

Any E8xxx should be able to reach 3.8GHz easily without changing Vcore. Mine does 3.8GHz with a flip of the FSB to 400. Just change the stock heatsink to those old type P4 cooler and full load at 79C.

Dont be surprised... some NBTD fella in ocforum did that.

Conclusion = did it even bother you for a second?

I think most E0 will have an easier time to surpass 4GHz compared to C0.

My E8500 C0 will do 3.8GHz on stock Vcore stable but wouldnt even bother to post when I overclock to 4GHz. Set the Vcore to +5% then +10% and lastly to +15%, but all also cant boot. Nvm la... maybe thats the result of using cheap board (Biostar G31-M7 TE) and cheapo HSF (Cooler Master old fashion P4 cooler).

Can. My E8500 runs at 400MHz FSB for a total 3.8GHz on stock Vcore. However, it seem like >400MHz is impossible. Wont boot at all regardless of the Vcore I set.

Check your heatsink. See if you got it seated properly. Pushpin design really is a nightmare.
