What was the stock voltage on that E8600?

Also how is the Vdroop on that board?

Kudos on the great review.

Could you just use 1MB Super PI test?

It is confusing.

And my E8400 @ 4GHZ did faster than your 4.5GHZ in 32M test. It took me 13m 22sec. It took you 14m 46sec. Something is not right here.

great stuff, but that's some serious voltage for an E8600.

Nice review, but I have no idea what you guys are drooling over. Those results look like an average Wolfdale.

that may be true Gauntam but a board out of the box doing 610mhz fsb with no mods... i still recall the IP35-Pro that needed a mod just to get to 600mhz fsb.

Oh yeah the board is awesome, but take note that all the high FSB is done with an E8400.

I'm tempted to pick up one of those boards and that RAM kit. This Commando is getting a little weird on me sometimes.

Awesome review BTW! You answered alot of questions for me.

Click to expand...

He had the E8600 at 5.0GHz (was able to boot into windows it looks like), I've never seen that on air before.
