Core temp 0.96.1 shows Tj as 105C and there is a 5C difference between the cores. 37 and 42C at idle; 47 and 52 in orthos. Do you think this is reading high as Tj is 105?

Now some clocking.

Should I start an Official Wolfdale OCing thread?

Temps seem abit high whilst idle and yes start a "official" thread as you are the first.
 
OK straight in at FSB 400 - 3.6GHz no change in Vcore at 1.17v SuperPI in 12.9secs; running orthos and temps 51 and 56C. Memory 1:1 4-4-4-12 @2.0v.E8400

 
Some info incase anyone is interested.

Core temp calculates temp by Tjunction - Delta so it actually measures the Delta (difference between Tjunction and actual temp). Therefore since the Tj is 5C higher all temps will be 5C higher too. Since Intel doesn't publish Tjunction figures out to the public (IIRC) the Delta is the most accurate measurement. You can view delta instead of temp if you select it in the options menu.

My Athlon 64 X2 4400+ uses as much power in idle as the C2D 8200 does at load... :(

A64 X2 4400+ 90nm Idle (27w) Load (60w)
Intel C2D 8200 45nm Idle (2.5w) Load (27.7w)

Think I might be getting one of these :D

Many slating off these duals over quads, but from my point of view these things are like gods...

From the guy still using a 3.4 Prescott :)

Bring on my e8400 next week
 
In my experience the Wolfdale is a fair bit better than the E6x50 series.

My E6750 would do 3.2GHz on stock volts, the E8400 does 3.6GHz

The 6750 was Orthos 12hr stable @ 3.6GHz; looks like I may get the E8400 stable @ 4.2GHz.

Couldn't get the E6750 to boot over 3.8GHz, but the E8400 has booted @ 4.45GHz.

Dunno whether my E8400 is good/bad or average. Next week we will find out.
 
Some people aren't so confident at volt modding compared to others, that's all it is :)
I'm 18 and just spent £150 hard earned cash on an e8400 due next week, I don't want to kill it in next to no time :p

I'm just aiming for 3.4ghz (which sounds easy on stock volts) just to see what 2 new shiny cores are like compared to an old single one :D
 
volt modding? You just increase the voltage in the bios.

And if you're scared of putting voltage through your CPU then you need to do a bit more research. Show me a single case where a Core 2 chip has been fried by too much voltage or heat.
 
Have ordered the 8500.
Plan to put it in my 680i to give the gaming PC a bit of a boost.

Was considering the 8400 but i have concerns that i might run out of FSB
before maxing out the chip.
My EVGA Board is good for around 475 above that it gets flakey.

Hopeing the p31 bios supports 45nm duals, anyone run one on an NV 680i board yet ?
