You still didn't get one yet? Bite the bullet and go for it man. : )
I think 8500 will be pretty much a blast.

Testing OEM 085A246, at the moment on the P5K Dlx (0812) bios prime stable at 3.6ghz at 1.08volts, hoping to get 4ghz at 1.2 region... at the moment only boxed extreme CPU cooler so waiting to push more ,temps already around 58°C load...
You into another Striker Plunge Nugzo ? going SLI again ...?
What is a common stable setting for E8500? Can it hit 4.5Ghz stable for daily usage? I'm just wondering to see if it makes sense to switch to E8500 from my E8200.

Can anyone tell how are
Q808A113
I am thinking of getting the E8400, but cant find any results with this particular batch CPU, I want to order tomorrow.
Thank You.
I have a question for somebody who is watching this topic frequently. I just want to know which are the worst E8xxx CPUs in terms of max FSB, voltage needed for 3.6/4GHz and so on. And which are the best ones?
My E8400 Q745A822 goes 3.6GHz with default voltage, also max stable with 1.225V is 9x400, it needs 1.375V for 9x445, actually 1.36875V set in BIOS works fine too. I'm currently still in the phase of testing 9x467 and 9x480, but 467 should be stable at 1.4875V, and 480 is stable at 1.55V, just have to try lower voltage, though 1.525V is not enough. Max FSB is 480, sad but true.
So my guess would be average 3.6 and 4GHz capability, and below average FSB, perhaps even one of the worst.
@Tibu: Interesting, max rated voltage is now 1.25V, mine has 1.225V.
Guys I just got done installing the E8400 but I noticed that my temps as reported by the Coretemp program, went up by about 20 degrees celcius at idle (hovering around 50C). Is this normal or did I do a bad mount of my Apogee GT?
use realtemp instead of coretemp for that :yepp:
I just got my E8400 Batch #Q808A256 3/260/08
4005Mhz is the fastest I can get at 1.41Vcore 1.3Vtt and -12mv -14mv On GTL Not sure how good this is. I wanted to go 4.5 but I think I need more vcore what is the Max Vcore you think I can run ? Cooling isn't a issue for me
Full Load now 35C
testing a new E8400 for me : Q807A124 (unknown batch on google)...4 Ghz stable at 1.21 for the moment :shocked:
I dont understand how some of you are running your FSB at 445 but running your memory at 534?? I have an option to set my memory higher then my rated FSB but the next step is like DDR-1200. :confused:
I want to be able to run 450 x 9 but run my memory at 534 because it can do DDR-1066.
Not sure what your bios looks like but you need to use a 5:6 divider if possible.
new test passed with success : 4.1 at 1.24 :woot:
Planing to buy one E8400 i can choose between these batches.
Is anyone good of theese ?

the 807A have been getting great results
yep of all the results i have seen the 807 seem to be pretty good most of the time.. not so good with the 808's as the rersults have been with the 807's i have seen online
