Wolfdale

Well I got my new E8400 Wolfdale CPU yesterday and I have to say I'm impressed.

Only cost a mere £129 but is now running at 4Ghz rock solid. The heat output is very manageable and wasn't increasing much at all as I raised the clock speed. A bit of a voltage bump was required but, as these things are 1.1125v stock to start with only a modest 1.28v was required, still well below the stock voltage of a 65nm Conroe.

All in all, very happy with this thing - superb bang for your buck. If you motherboard supports them I'd heartily recommend the upgrade.
