***The Official Wolfdale 8200/8400/8500 Overclocking Thread ***

Easy, you are being a pedant...

Yes, I agree the air cooler used may be different than a HSF that would come boxed with a retail 8500, but for all you know he could have been benching it at -30deg on the top of mount everest so the type of cooler used is kindof irrelivant... all we really wanna know is what the sucker will hit on air, now we have an idea...

These temps could easily be beaten by a Tuniq, or a TR120 & a good fan & lets face it anyone looking to clock one of these on air is gonna be using high end air like these 2...

So stop it & go & bug someone else :p

Its an ES 8500 so until I see Retail results I'm reserving judgement.

Just reading in other threads

This is blatant misinformation.:p


Just want to clarify matters thats all.So people have an accurate idea what to expect when they recieve their chips.

There is some discussion on the temps. of these chips on xtreme in US as many chips have quite a variation of temps between cores - up to 10C. Also one poster has 5 E8400/E8500s and temp vary from 40 to 58C in prime @the same OC:confused: (His test rig sits on the bench and has no case, whereas mine is in a case, so it should be some what cooler than mine)

Also is the Tj correct for these chips @105C? If it was 100 like E6x50 series the temps wouldn't look so bad.

OCUK Overclocker Clocked out

One of OCUK's resident overclockers, 'Weescott' has been accused of making misleading claims about his cpu. Not only is it an ES cpu but despite claiming he is using 'stock' cooling he failed to mention that the 'stock' cooler was from a different CPU! Weescott claims he is the victim of prejudice and he has done no wrong.

When quizzed by the forum police, Weescott maintained he never meant to mislead the public and denied any involvement in the claim that his cpu ws 4.8ghz Prime stable. He is however, endevouring to pursue legal action in defence of alleged tresspassing offences onto Easyriders threads.

In other news 'MonsterMunch' will attempt the death defying feat of climbing Mt.Everest with a LianLI strapped to his back - All in the name of getting sub-zero temps...Good Luck Munch!

Lighten up guys:rolleyes:

hey thanks for getting back to me on my point, i did realise there was the 2 different types of clockers on here but never visit the overclocking section so didnt realise there was that many people wanting to go for the better clocks and speed... saying that this chips are starting to look something special. may even consider one myself if i dont go for a quad :o
