I read about the new Wolfdale E8400 and looks like they are good overclockers. SSE4, 6MB cache and most of all 45nm which helps give lower temps and consume lesser energy.

A comparison between E8400 VS E6850 says it all I'm eyeing on this one for now. Well, I don't need the CPU power really but it's all about the fun of overclocking.

Im looking forward to get q9450 ...

man, core 2 quads are getting mainstream alrdy ..but i just joined the c2d bandwagon worr ...

** eagerly waiting for c2q to become cheaper

The quads would go cheaper sooner or later, it's a matter of time. Those Pennryn would be nice, lesser heat

can add new slot for qx6850?

post ur stuff he will add for u...

I have to admit Mr. nicholasmark has good hardwares

i am looking at penryns too. No point having the quaddies now.. still too hot for overclocking..

the current quads are quite capable of OC... I was able to reach 4106Mhz with my friend's q6600 while my e6600 maxed out at 3980Mhz... on air cooling...

well never said that current quaddies cant be OC-ed, in fact it can, but not all batches can give you low load temps, there are two batches of q6600, and both in fact have high TDP(Thermal Design Power), 95W for the G0 stepping and 105W for the B3 stepping. this is relatively high compared to my e6750 which is 65W.

All i am trying to say is, for extreme air cooling without any burning i would wait for the 45nm procs which will give out lesser heat/core speed achieved.

i see... i wonder when penryn quads are releasing.... and how the price is like... hopefully around RM1000....

Spent all my money on it

who here use crucial?D9 chipset... can provide me ur memset ss..i want use it as a guide for tweak my ram...

It shows you have plenty of money

tapirus, I'm using Ballistix Tracers and it works very well. What is your current FSB and timings?

@clawhammer
FSB 410Mhz...coz i still use stock cooler..using stock vcore...vdim +0.4..
ram speed 984Mhz...timing 5-5-5-15-2T

948 with 2.35v can try 4-4-4-4.Should work.

I need only Vdimm +0.3 to get 438Mhz, 4-4-4-8

this my ss..btw i just put +0.4..

what the best timing for my ram..

If you're using Ballistix, I think you can go 4-4-4-8 like me.

for others timing???it's ok??

EDIT:- yeah i got 4 4 4 8 with vdim +0.4...

stock vcore 430 x8

how far for E6750 can OC with stock vcore???
