Intel E8400 or E8500?

J-Man · Dec 15, 2008

E8400 or even the E8200 would be fine.

my crucials? the single sided pc2-8500's? I think they're in my little brother's pc atm. Mine were able to do 1125mhz @ 2.2v 5-5-5-12, but Tigger's been able to get 1200 out of his crucials with 6-5-6-15 timings, so i might try that.

I've been looking at the G.skill Pi 8800 sticks! A lot of people have been able to get 1200 out of them with <2.0v

Ah ok. Memory stick with Micro D9 are rare these days. i don't know which memory to buy..
Maby these: http://www.transcendusa.com/Product...&L0No=Transcend&axn=goSearch&LangNo=0&L4No=86 They do 1066Mhz at 2V. Could be micro . I will email them about it.

The 1GB sticks could still be D9's. However, there are no D9 2GB sticks. Here's a set that are D9's for sure. I've confirmed this.

I'd like to have 2x2GB more stable for overclocking but since there are no 2x2GB stick with Microsn D9 , do you think 4x1Gb would be stable enough for 1:1 with cpu or higher?

Take a look at my Firestix results in the "Ram Tweakers Thread". I was running 4x1GB stix completely stable.

Is that my chip?

Yep, and your ram

Well for the price E8400 wins. For the E8500, u can get a 300-500MHz better OC. And there’s a combo deal on egg. where u can get a p5q and e8400 for even cheaper

Nice. But I think it depends on if you have a good batch or not.
I;ve emailed transcend about the aXeram modules (pdf http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/DLCenter/Datasheet/TX1066QLU-4GK_2345.pdf) link : http://ec.transcendusa.com/product/ItemDetail.asp?exid=1&ItemID=TX1066QLU-4GK . They do 1066 Mhz @ 2v :eek:

.

Also I 've sent a email to the webshop they said they only sell E8400 with the E0 stepping. That's nice!
