Hi I have an E8400 @ 450 x 9 = 4050

VID 1.225

Bios 1.405
Idle 1.390
Orthos/Prime 1.36/7

Core Temp 0.99 Real Temp 2.5
Idle Temps C1= 46 C2= 54 C1= 32 C2= 41

Load Temps C1= 64 C2= 69 C1= 54 C2= 60

Now do I try and reseat the TRUE or Lap the E8400 or leave it. Am I likely to get more out of this CPU.

Im happy with 4 GHz, but more would be nice. But If I push more I think my RAM will limit me a bit (DDR800 @ 1080)

When the Board is a year old and out of warrenty I will see if I can do the Vdroop mod.

What would you do if it was you.
 
I would like to know which has the right tjmax.

But ken1307 is right Im not gonna lap it as I could not afford another £100+ if the chip went pop.
