Just wanted to share some of my latest success with my fellow [H] members.
After having my Shuttle die on me I was left to rebuild my system which in the end turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
The system is listed in my sig but clock speeds are always changing and being updated. Today after a few hours of tinkering I got the system fully benchmark stable @ 4.4GHz and booting into windows at 4.5GHz on air using my Ultima-90 and a single 40cfm 92mm fan!!!
I plan to swap out the GTX260 for a GTX280 in the next few months and I'll be building a 120.2 watercooling loop for the CPU in the next couple months as well. I'm really hoping to be able to push the E8400 a bit further then 4.5GHz for benchmarks and hopefully get 4.4GHz or 4.5GHz stable for 24/7 use...and at this rate I don't have any doubts in my mind that I'll have many issues.
I'll have pics posted of some benchmark results at 4.4GHz /w the GTX260 overclocked before the end of the night, just wanted to let you guys know that all is well and that I'm just getting started with this beast of a CPU.
