now toast the mother !

May be putting it off due to Core Temp being broke and no accurate way to really monitor temps.

I don't trust bios readings

agreed. go steady

Agreed too. ATM bios reads 21c coretemp 38/43

What the hell was I talking about just fired up at 3.6Ghz 1.184v (anything lower wouldn't get me into windows)

Testing for an hour or so (is all I can do tnite)

Back up to my old speed anyway on a stupidly low voltage

Things are looking good.

Jedi, will the 8400's still at ok stock levels tomorrow afternoon?

Hard to say tbh, still had over 100 available when I left work but you never can tell what will happen...

If I had to guess I'd say yes, just about

I expect a few people will be running these with passive cooling of some sort in the near future due to the low voltage and low heat output.

:cool:

My 8400 was sent today so will be putting up results tomorrow (watercooled).

They might have a low thermal output at stock with default vcore, but up the volts and the FSB and they generate a boatload of heat.

That pathetic joke that masquerades as a heatsink they are shipped with, is best thrown in the bin.

Reality|Bites · 23 Jan 2008 at 20:31

I suppose they would be alright used in a media centre PC.

This was a question I was going to post. Has anyone tried passive cooling these 45nm beasts? Each PC I upgrade gets quieter and quieter as I seem to have less of a tolerence for noise these days!!!

No but you could easily run one with a small overclock with passive. Easily from what I've seen.

The new Celerons (65nm) have the same heatsink and run extremely cool. The fan only spins on load and will sit there idle when sat in Windows.

Core Temp is not the best at the mo. I am sure it is reading temps wrong!!

Yep it is broke. Give it a few days.

willhub · 23 Jan 2008 at 21:23

Wow now they have Celeron dual cores

, they must be slow.

khemist · 23 Jan 2008 at 21:53

I really do hope temps are wrong...only ran for a minute set to 1.537v in bios

even at stock i 'm sitting at 40c as soon as i'm into windows.. i've also reseated twice.

With ultra extreme btw.

Deluxe1 · 23 Jan 2008 at 21:56

Could be the right temps,1.537v is quite high.
