Quick CPU question (E8400)

[scotty365]

What is the best stepping for the E8400 and are there any other considerations with selecting the the most overclockable one?

Thanks for the input.
What am I looking for to ensure I get E0? Is the information available on the box?

Now you got me intrigued.....

One of the reasons I want to change is because my E2160 has been clocked 3-3.5 ghz for 3 years and running 24/7. I feel like retiring it and keep it for back-up. The other reason is I'm enjoying being a clockaholic and the E8400 is such a performer.
I'm considering the Q6600 also, but I dont REALLY need the extra cores right now.

Retiring? That's ridiculous... spend the money on a weekend break with your lady.

What? all £20..... she should be so lucky.....

Well you have got the porn tash going.......

Even a baby E2160 is still a very powerful CPU when clocked to 3.6 GHz.

There is something satisfying about a 100% O/C
