Now, I know you'll probably just snore and look elsewhere, but the reason this ever happened was that my E8600 turned out to be broken. Guess I'll need a new one. I wasn't too disappointed though, after popping out my E6320 that once upon a time did 591MHz FSB...
I'll apologise in advance for the lack of pictures from my benching, I forgot my camera at elmor's when we were benching (swearing at) the worst ever made Phenom II's. But as usual, you don't really want to see me, there's lots of long-haired blondes who actually are female... I usually think results are the things that matter, so I present you a pair of screenshots.
Max PI 1M. Just one stick of RAM, since I wasn't really bothered with PI, just wanted to see how well the CPU did.

This was done with a Mousepot rev 3 (which meant pretty fast temperature changes), the coldbug is at about -130C. And no, it doesn't do that last 1MHz, trust me, I tried everything. :D

I don't really know what else there is to say, I wish I'd have more pics, but no camera made it pretty hard. Also, it's my first WR, so I'm a tiny bit excited at the same time, even though it's a old piece of junk. :)
