i liked the LT but for simplicity, the IP35 Pro was its equal.

i was considering getting an E8400 to try on the LT.

Speaking of the 8400

NICE!

is that 8400 under water or air?

[Clunk]

Phase

Not tried air with this 8400 yet - didn't see much point looking at everyone else temps

Managed 4052Mhz @1.15v OCCT stable earlier which seems pretty reasonable

And now this one.

4500Mhz 500x9 1.4v 1000Mhz RAM 5-5-5-15 OCCT stable.

what is the VID for your E8400?

[Clunk]

1.1v

[Ace-a-Rue]

i am trying to see if there is a correlation between real low VID (below 1.0) and the cpu being a poor overclocker.

What have you come up with so far?
