What processor is that? It would be best if you could post a CPU-Z screenshot to go along with it.
yay AMD socket 754 i love you!

the hell is speed step? what is the stock speed of the e8400?

45nm FTW
okay so 12 seconds and it's under stock speed at 2.4ghz. what?

It's not at 2.4GHz, he has C1E enabled which lowers the multiplier on the Core 2's by 2x, which gives it a lower speed when the CPU is idle or doesn't need much processing power. The point of it is to lower the temps when the PC is idle, as well as lowering the voltage which is useful in mobile devices.

meh, the e8400 doesn't impress me that much though. would have expected better. i would have rather gotten it over my e6750 had it been available 6 weeks ago, but seeing the performance, i don't think it's significantly better like the hype predicted.

The E8xxx processors are nearly identical to the E6xxx, it really just has a 45nm process and more cache.

i didn't realize they were so similar. yeah, i can see how the e6420 to e8400 would be an upgrade. my work computer is an e6300 and did the superpi in 29 seconds while my home e6750 did it in 19, both stock. pretty significant.

ok, heres a fully stock superpi shot with the e8400
I can't beleive i missed your post all together
Just got the chip, im still tweaking. I got up to 3.5ghz and got 13sec, and working on 3.6ghz (stable). I'm new to these intel bios, im hoping for 4.0ghz stable as just about everyone is getting with 1.3-1.38v
well i didnt i didnt say it is fake. i'm saying it can be faked. and didnt see the 6 multiplier there.
anywho, did your chip come in yet thatguy16?
this chip is an easy clocker.
you're right thatguy16 you da man!
the 4ghz part seems accurate but don't know about 3.6 i went straight from 3-4
i did try at stock at it is 15 seconds
too bad core temp doesnt work with vista 64 yet...
didnt even remove old as5

It's a nice processor, so now at least you have a decent system instead of a made up one like you have in your sig now.
