I heard that E8400 E0 is easier to overclock than C0 proc. has anyone having trouble OC'ing the E8400 C0 version one?

yup.. i heard the same too

u need higher vcore 2 oc C0 compare 2 E0. i able 2 run oc my E0 3.6ghz@1.136v IBT stable...

i own a C0 E8400, able to Prime stable, Crysis stable for few hours at
3.825Ghz (425X9) with 1.182V.
it's true that you need higher Vcore for C0 stepping E8400 to OC.
as for 3.6Ghz (400X9) , default Vid of mine C0 E8400 will do the OC job just fine.
so to me, both of them are great overclocking gems.

well i need 1.37v to stable at 450x9 and others need just 1.25v.

hmm... then i guess my mobo aws the one holding back the OC.so hard to even 400Mhz! lol

tried E0 and C0....

the E0 i got can do 4ghz stable at 1.25v while the best i could do with C0 was like 3.6ghz with stock vcore.....

generally it depends on ur luck, some C0 can do even 3.8ghz stable on 1.16v on a mobo like p35-ds3

It is draw of luck
E0 in generally oc better but there are some good c0 that could oc quite close to E0 stepping
Anyway,don't really matter if just shooting for 4ghz or so oc

my e8400 C0 need vcore 1.28v to just reach 3.4Ghz.so pity.C0 stepping, plus bad OC mobo some more.haha

I'm running 3.8ghz e8400 C0 stable at 1.26v / 4.0ghz stable at 1.29v on NV750i chipset. This chipset is horrible at OC according to several reviews. But the temps are kinda high for 3.8ghz, idle 43 - 45c, load 63-65c.

im getting about the same temp with my e7400 cooled by TRUE120. what cooler are u using?

i guess my mobo holding me back then.temps also quite high.whats the best value for money mobo and cpu cooler?any recommendation? haha.

i can only manage to run 3.4Ghz stable now.can run 3.55Ghz but needs too high vcore.

my old setup tpower i45 and e8400 C0 need 1.25v for 4ghz no sweet only heat lol. But i figured mine temp sensor prob cause my e8400 C0 @ 60c feels cooler then compared to my Q6600 at 60c. Guessing how i tested it? I touched the heatsink

Oh yeah was using sunbeam ccf and still using sunbeam ccf. Cheap yet it rocks

My old C0 did well, 4ghz, 1.25v primed for 4 hours, its a draw of luck basically
