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

Still waiting for Easy to explain himself. He's said himself the P5B is a superb motherboard and is more than capable of 450-500FSB

So other than trying to annoy me I'm not sure where he's going with this.

EDIT: Seen the reply, I don't look for malice but it's easy to tell from your post you're trying to incite it, I know you too well. I still can't understand the need for your post :confused:

I'm just wishing you well mate.:)
 
Well, regardless of easy's motives (tend to agree with you Tom), the Asus site shows beta support for Wolfdale so, providing Tom can crank up the FSB ok I don't see any issues.

Despite much posturing by Intel about only the P35 and later chipsets supporting 1333Mhz FSB and Penryn, providing the board can support the higher FSB and lower voltages I see no reason why any 965 board shouldn't be able to cope with a Wolfdale or Yorkfield.

There won't be any issues.

Its a fine mobo my sentiment was clear enough.:rolleyes::confused:

I got over 520 FSB with mine and a dual core 6400.

I have no reason to think that 500 FSB + will not be achievable with a 8400
 
I was also hoping to use my 965 (DS4) chipset with a wolfdale, surely if it does high FSBs why not. mine does 49* stable.
I was thinking P35 but cant see the point.
X38 yeah but wait until they are around the £100 mark.
 
High FSB support is only half the story, it also needs to be able to support the lower voltages of the 45nm process, although you'll most likely end up cranking this up to around stock 65nm levels anyway as part of the overclocking process.
 
Looks like whoever is the biggest supplier to most of the e-tail stores hasn't pulled their finger out and stock is looking scarce on the launch day.

Bloody ridiculous.

Fuming to find out an order I placed elsewhere has been delayed till 30th.

Means I am without my machine for even longer...

No doubt I will be cancelling and ordering with whoever can get a chip to me the fastest.
 
Stock is looking to take about a week from what I can see. What kind of joke is that :confused:

Not having product on launch day is a big let down.
