Never saw an E8500 batch Q751A? Then take a look now.....

[camouflage]

:D Pack date is 2008/March/21 - so this chip has been a long time at the Intel labs before coming into the retail channels...! Why? Don't know, but I made a first quick test with relaxed ram timings and 5:8 divider:

You always get the cherries, I wanna be ya friend Camouflage :) I got 2 retail E8400's underway, hope one is at least capable of reaching 4ghz with 1.3volts... your CPU makes me wet my pants

[Loser777]

Nice, we might get .9v desktop processors one day?

[camouflage]

:D Though this batch was completely unknown it is not only a nice low-voltage runner, it also seems to be capable of hi FSB.

Just found my 24/7 settings:yepp: :

4.2GHz @ 1.28V is sick, man :D

[camouflage]

:D I really fell in love with this chip:p: :

:D Haha..., yep - the QX was fantastic but a bit boring to run always <450 FSB:( . So I sold it for the price I payed for it :p:. Now playing with hi FSB.

I hope this is more of a regular thing to come. Where did you get your chip from?

:D From a member of another forum in Germany - was untested, he ran it only for 2 hours........:yepp:

[camouflage]

:D With moderate FSB 4.75GHz is also no problem:

nice.. may i ask in your locale, what's the pricing like for E8500 compared to E8400 and E3110 ?

[Leeghoofd]

Sell it to me Camouflage , already had 2 E8400 and now the 8500 I quickly tested is also not a 4ghz one below 1.3v level... bummer :mad:

:rolleyes: 20 - 25 % more....., but I got it from a member of another forum in Germany, untested - he ran it only for 2 hours...........:p: - so I paid a fair price.;)

@Leeghoofd :

:yepp: I know..... - it's always the good old game of try & error.......:)

:welcome:

[zfactor]

it does seem on general though from most results the e8500 will oc better than the e8400 at least from most results i have seen around

[tranceaddict]

What is the highest OC you can achieve with 12+ hours of Prime stability, and at what Vcore?

:D 4.6GHz @ 1.384 - 1.392, still testing.;)

[SmellTheFart]

:D 4.6GHz @ 1.384 - 1.392, still testing.;)

Aren't you satisfied with 4600mhz?

[camouflage]

Aren't you satisfied with 4600mhz?

:D Sure - but still testing new RAM @ 1000MHz, need 32M stability;) .

[Monstru]

Some max FSB with 6 multi would be nice ;)

;) Wall at 550 - think it's the chip, not the board but I'm not sure.

[Leeghoofd]

I seemed to have got a good E8400 now Q805A (Vid 1.0750), does 3.6ghz at 1.09volt, hope to get to 4ghz under 1.25 (should be doable) or lower... priming away under air now till I get it under water again...
