CPU advise needed for specific OC: E8200 or E8400?

[powerbaselx]

Hello,

i want to OC a system to achieve system clock 400MHz, FSB1600, but keeping DDR2-800 (dual channel config), and CPU no more than 3.2GHz.
I'm thinking on an Asus P5Q Pro motherboard and 1:1 ratio for system stability.

What Intel CPU to choose to achieve the desired configuration: E8200 (8x multiplier) or E8400 (9x multiplier stock but unlocking cpu ratio on bios and downgrading it to 8x to get 3.2GHz) ?

Thanks for the advise.

why won't you go over 3.2 ghz... if you get a e8600 which is supposed to be like 30 bucks more... you get a 10 multiplier... and with a fsb of 400... you have 4 ghz....

but if your dead set on 3.2 ghz the e8200 will work for you

I went with an E8400 for my newest build.

E8200 if 3.2Ghz is your CPU.no point wasting extra money on multiplier when you dont need it.
