But yeah, look at solarfall, 0.7V overvoltage with 45nm. Theres a reason why people don't want to bench all the time with those volts. :p:

NameGT - any orthos or dual prime stability testing?

Well the E8400 & E8500 E0 stepping hit Japan yesterday and the E8600 just came in today.
They are saying that all the boards need a new BIOS update to run the E0 stepping, any news about this??

A short prime test..

My e8400's are definitely broken now.
One "broken" 4ghz one is on ebay already...

Rather have the Q9550 with EO stepping and price drop slated for the 10th of August.
