8edo forms an odd and even pitch set of two diminished seventh chords, which when used in combination yield dissonance. The system has been described as a "barbaric" harmonic system; even so, it does a good job representing the [[just intonation subgroup]]s 2.11/3.13/5, with good intervals of [[13/10]] and an excellent version of [[11/6]]. Stacking the 450-cent interval can result in some semi-consonant chords such as 0-3-6 degrees or it's inversion of 0-2-5 degrees, although these still are quite dissonant compared to standard root-3rd-P5 triads, which are unavailable in 8edo.

Another way of looking at 8edo is to treat a chord of 0-1-2-3-4 degrees (0-150-300-450-600 cents) as approximating harmonics 10:11:12:13:14 (~0-165-316-454-583 cents), which is not too implausible if you can buy that 12edo is a 5-limit temperament. This interpretation would imply that 121/120, 144/143, 169/168, and hence also 36/35 and 66/65, are tempered out.
