Wow, thats a good deal.

I paid $230 shipped for mine on mwave, it was $211 before tax and shipping. Im glad i got it when i did, all the prices online shot up to $260+

Hey ThatGuy16, could you tell me the specs on your overclock ( I have same cpu and cooler). How are your temps doing? Thanks

ThatGuy16 · 03-27-2008, 01:25 AM

My "core" readings i think are incorrect, but the "CPU" temp reads about 45c on load.

I seem to have a very good batch E8400, chances are you wouldn't be able to get the same OC. I'm running 4.0Ghz @ 1.28v (in bios).

What is your batch #?

Is that good or bad?

I'm not sure to be honest, only one way to find out!

I guess so. Wish me luck!

got my e8400 today (ordered it yesterday at 3, turns out they're located in close to me and shipping doesn't take anytime at all lol)

this thing is so much faster than my ol p4 which was running at 3.4ghz, don't think I even need to overclock it.
