what do you guys think is acceptable long term OC vcore for an E8500?

im overclocking right now,

got it at 4.4 gighz @ 1.42 vcore (but i think i can lower it a tad)

im not sure how long this overclock will last though. i read somewhere to give your OC cpu the longest life never go past 1.336 or something. recommendations?

*needs enlightenment from overclocking gurus*

Since the maximum rated voltage is something like 1.3625v I think, it would ideally be best to stay below that but at 4.4GHz that ain't gonna happen.

Intels' VID range is up 1.3625v, that is the voltage that a E8x00 can run at and function within Intel's spec.

1.45v is the max that Intel recommends, they do not guranteed that it will work at that voltage or higher, and they do not guranteed that your CPU will work even if you return to normal voltages.

this guy claims to have an E8400 @ 3.6 with 1.112 vcore. is that just a lucky chip or what?

New E8x00 E0 revision are running high clocks with low vcore. I wouldn't doubt he is able to run it at 1.112v. Stability is another story altogether.

jesus... i got the E0 revision but mine is clocked at ~~4.2 with 1.32 vcore right now (i think im at work right now i will have to double check) its at 1.3 though. i dont know if i just got a crappy chip or what but this really pisses me off. i got a zalman 92mm on it too... wtf is going on!?!?
