From TheManuel on the bottom of Page 3 of the thread:
--- Quote ---Finally, to extend the life of the processor, I set my power scheme to laptop/portable so that EIST kicks in and the CPU multiplier is knocked down to 6X form 9X while the computer is idle or doing light duty like browsing the web or playing pacman :-) but immediately goes to full throttle when more processing power is required. As a result, my 2.7GHz is running at 1.8GHz most of the time which happens to be the stock speed.

After reading this thread properly start to finish im considering going for the e8400 now if i do go for it the best mobo i can afford will be the gigabyte ga-p31-ds3l my friend has this mobo and it overclocked his e6750 to 3.6ghz will it be up to the job of doing a e8400 to 4ghz.

As Taz mentioned earlier on this thread, the P35 chipset is one of the best out there, I think for a little more money you should get a P35 Mobo. I'll get the Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R it has improved OC capabilities, and supports DDR II and DDR III :applaud: The P35 is widely considered one of the best Chipsets to OC, at least until P45 comes out.
As for the OC capabilities of the E8400, just take a look at this snapshot i got from an OC forum, it speaks for it self...
5,62 Ghz... :notworthy: :notworthy:
This guy runs this E8400 at 4ghz stable with Vcore 1,29 V which is very good.
From what I've been seeing in other forums, with the right config you can run this baby's at 4,5 Ghz and UP stable on air cooling.
Speaking of right config... a major issue in getting a good OC is the stepping of the processor. The one mentioned above is a Q750A196, Q808A476 are also great. Avoid the Q809A... ones

New batch of benchmarks for .125.4 on various C2D's Conroe and Wolfdale + some sad AMDs. :)
I'll be dropping in an E8400 shortly to my workforce 3.5Ghz E6400 to last me till Nehalem and will post some new benches then.

Yeah I ran a few benchmarks the other day to see what the new changes to compiler made, running in Gradius4 in 64bit 125.4 looks all good ,but 125.5 is a case of what the dev's can give they can take away.
with my normal setting and my CPU at 4ghz in vista 64bit SP1:
125.4 Gradius4 129.31%
125.5 Gradius4 74.21% :cry:
I thought for a minute I'd got my 64bit and 32bit benchmark numbers mixed up, but no in 125.4 gradius4 take a boost in 64bit and drop in 32bit, in 125.5 64bit is back to it's old ways and 32bit is back on top.

Aaron had left some debugging code in there in .125.5 so you'll see bad performance.. and also giant *.asm files generated in the .exe root. FYI. Should be fixed in u6.
