the quad up to e8400 speeds, then it is a fine processor indeed for cranking out big gaming numbers. The same is not true at stock speeds, the e8400 is a better processor for gaming. If you do other things besides game though, as I stated also, but you did...

EVGA 8800 GTS 512 and got 15,202 with an e8400 OC'd to 3.99 GHz (9 X 444 FSB) but I had to even OC the GPU to get that score and set my NVidia Control Panel to performance preference. On GPU stock speeds and stock e8400 I "only" get around 12,700. Your...

Help with overclocking E8400 on P5Q PRO. I have the stock heatsink, but am curious to what to set the FSB too... Iv'e never overclocked a PC before, so im pretty clueless but I would like to get my E8400 to around maybe 3.4-3.6 if that's possible, The ram...

run at stock except the processor, and i do not think you will even need to up the voltage to reach this, my e7200 will do 3.2ghz on stock, heck even 3.4 on stock. e8400 has 9x multiplier so as follows 9x400=3600mhz (3.6Ghz) better overclock whilst...

Is my E8400 overheating?. I recently bought this PC: I'm using everything stock with no overclocking yet. However it came to my attention that my CPU seems maybe to be a little hot. Can anyone tell me of this is normal? This is being idle...I didn't...

will reach 3.0ghz with at stock voltages. 1) In single threaded apps, a Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz will perform within a few % of the speed of a stock E8400. In multi threaded apps, it has the potential to provide nearly twice the performance. 2a) Normally you can...

the GPU upgrade. Thanks Take a look at article. The E8400 scored slightly lower than the i7 920 in several gaming applications when paired with a GTX 295. The referenced article shows the E8400 held up very well at stock speeds. Since the E8400 can routinely...

think if I (E8400@3.8 ghz,single 4850) got around 300 less than the guy with the Q9450@ 3.9 ghz and single 8800GT,I think I would call the impressive,considering hes got just about twice the processor. Not to mention mine is stock speeds. My SM3.0 score...

well informed. The E8600 is at the top of the series' speed bin. As such, it commands a price premium. I'd get an E8400 and a good cooler and overclock the bejesus out of it. E8400 is a good $40 over priced if not more. It's priced in a range with quads,...

way its gona cost extra if i buy from US or local jordanian market, might be more convinient for me to just get the parts from the local supplyer, but they don't seem to have all the processors in stock such as the e8400 or quads and others.. still it's good...
