Hey all, just thought i'd make this thread to let you all know that the new 45nm Processors are awesome! I Just got my E8200 (2.67Ghz Stock) and boy oh boy is it good.
Firstly the cooling...Intel and reviews arn't lying when they said these ran cooler. So i'm cheating a bit using a Zalman 9700NT on it...but so what. This baby idles at around 25 degrees inside of an Antec 900. You should see the stock cooler that comes with these things...its sad how small it is! Like it literally at least 50% the height of the heat sink of the 65nm range. Secondly performance...this thing is benched better than the 6750 and matches the 6850 in *some*. The beautiful thing is that with the cooling i have got (and im guessing with even the stock cooler - i never even tryed it) you could overclock this sucker majorly! I have mine @ 3.4GHz 100% stable and it is still cool as (pardon the pun). I would have gone further but didnt want to risk hurting my new baby. However I think it would be easy to push it alot further! Thirdly Cost...considering that this is cheaper, cool and performs better than the E6750 Im not seeing any drawbacks here...The 8400 is a tad more expensive than the E6750 but with the overclockability of the 8200 is don't see the point at this stage and this has taken anything I've thrown at itso Far. So yeah...just letting the many of you out there wondering about these news things a few thoughts that i have had with mine. And FYI the Rig i have wacked it in is in my sig but for the lazy ones out there here it is again CPU: Intel E8200 Mobo: Gigabyte P35-DS4 Ram: 2X 1GB Corsair TwinX6400C4DHX Video: EVGA 8800GT Cooler: Zalman 9700NT Case: Antec 900 Cheers,

These chips are solid. Honestly, you aren't getting anywhere near frying it until 70+.
So I would OC the crap out of it if I were you. If it's anything to go by, my QX9650 is stable and running idle at about 50 at 4.26GHz... not sure if this is right, but yours should have the same temp thresholds etc! Stability is your only restriction with these chips really, they run so cool - so as long as you are testing that adequately, slam it! A friend of mine has his E6750 running at 3.4GHz with stock cooling in an Antec 900 - so yours definitely has a lot more oomph up it's sleeve.

well, the QX9650 has 2 more cores generating heat, so i'm fairly sure the dual core ones should run even cooler
(and seeing as a Q6600, wich is 65nm, can reach 3.6/3.7GHz, the 45nm ones should be able to hit 4GHz quite easy )

I wonder how far that Q9450 would go.... I have my eye on that one. Maybe 4.2Ghz? |
