I've had my E8400 running @4ghz. Put 1.3875v through it, reluctant to add more as real temp reports it at 72c -75c under load. Whats the max on these as I've had a few re-boots so guess it needs a little more juice. Memory's sweet it's crossair and though only 6400 it will run at 1100mhz if asked. However it's set at 1:1 so for now 890mhz.
 
72-75c in Real temp is too high. I would drop the speed and vcore so that you're below 65c in Real Temp.
 
Thx. Have clocked it down to 3.8ghz and dropped the vcore to 1.3375.
Been running it all day and max on core 0 was 66c. No problems and 100% stable so far. Was a bit worried about the degradation of the chip, but not enough to stop o/c.. ;)
 
Yeh I have a e8400 @ 3.6 and during this summer so far, I havent seen my load temps get any hotter then 57c. Im treating my cpu kindly by using speedstepping.
So when the cpu isnt working much it knocks it down to 2.4ghz with 1.16 - 1.17v and when the cpu is working quite hard, it bangs it up to 3.6ghz with 1.210 - 1.220v
 
At the risk of causing disagreement, where are you guys getting 65C from? I've got passively cooled overclocked Quads here running at 85C day-in, day-out, and no problems at all.

Nope. I can't run B3's passively. they throttle, but don't shut down. For F@H they're no good to me.

lol, yes damn hard to keep cool those B3s ! I think they run 10C -15C hotter than G0 on standard air cooling . Never heard of anyone passively cooling a 24/7 fully loaded quad, impressive
 
Yeah, Intel have these chips well protected now with various throttling techniques.

And I ran my Yorkfield at 4GHz passive watercooled for months.
