Found @ HardOCP.

If you have been wondering what the new Wolfdale core Intel processors were capable of, a couple of guys in our forum are showing off their results. 4.7GHz on air?!?!? eek! There are some 5GHz+ sub-zero cooling as well in both E8500 and E8400 flavors.

Started testing mine this afternoon and my E8500 is running a solid 3.8GHz at fully stock settings (1.21vcore) on water cooling. That gives you 9.5*400MHz FSB. Not too shabby. Will keep you guys updated.

I have an E8400 and my batch goes up to 4600 on air cooling.

Awesome! Hopefully the new line of quad cores can do as good as this as well.

very high voltages for 45nm CPUs... do it and your CPU will have a slow death. I know few guys who used +1.4v voltage for two weeks and now they can't OC much at all.

So tell me, has anyone overclocked the E8400 with the standard cooler? Because I am getting one

That's what they said about Prescott, after Northwood. Northwood would die after some time with over 1.7v VCore, because of the 130nm manufacturing process. Prescott can run on almost two volts, and it's 90nm. I doubt Intel's gonna do the same mistake as they did with the Northwood.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

well with a freeer 7 pro, it hovers around the 40 degree mark under load so i presume it isn't to bad the stock cooler

it isn't a mistake... it is fact... try running conroe at +1.60v long time...
Because the 45nm CPUs have low stock vcore ~1.2v and going to >1.4v is like going from 1.35v to >1.55v with conroe. Older prescotts are netburst CPUs with very different core architechture and they indeed can take a lot voltage.

don't bumb the vcore too high...
