So I've had this baby wolfdale for a long time, got it for $40 years ago, was using it in my HTPC, never knew they could OC soo easily.
My q6600 box with P5E lost it's q6600 because I put the chip in someone's workstation so they could run VMs, their CPU was a terrible 1.8GHz C2D but had a nice mobo.
Using a stock intel heatsink used on 120W P4s instead of the puny thing the e3300 came with, it runs pretty cool at 3.5GHz(2.5 stock) with 1.25v bumped to 1.29... and droops way back down to 1.256, damn P5E motherboard.
I thought these were bad-bin e8400/8500's, what's the max safe(for 24/7) voltage?
