a fast test:eek:

That VCore is nuts. Amazing. My E8400 needs 1.375 to do that speed now....
Are there any stuck sensors or weird temps ? Anyone noticed something in particular... if these do 4.5 at the same volts as some E8400's do 4ghz I might go for one...( so 1.35 max )
Q820A602 batch here and one stuck sensor I'm afraid.
Mine runs very hot, 47c idle, default 1.16v.
My e6850 ran at 32 idle with 1.42v. Its taking 1.3v to get to a stable 4250ghz but idle is 64c and load temps are 88c+! The most unfortunate part tho is when I got high temps, instead of returning it, I lapped it. It reduced temps 3c but of course killed the warranty.
Batch Q820R405
Btw, after lapping, I have a nickel-sized copper spot in the middle, so concave c2d's perhaps are a thing of the past.
Im thinking about getting E8600, as my E8500 is pretty crap even though my batch is supposed to me good. But let's see. Want watercooling aswell.
Great results, though I don't know why it's $279.99 retail... I can get a Q9450 at Microcenter for that much... Always thought the pricing of the Wolfdales was a little out of whack.
My baby should arrive Monday or Tuesday - Gave in after seeing it OC to 6GHZ at i34 :)

Just ordered 1. Will be here Tuesday. It'll be replacing an E8500 4200mhz on air......hopefully :p
Just got mine today. Batch number is Q820A599.
Should have my rig running when I get my 4870X2 sometime this week, so hopefully can post a few results of it running under water.

This mine just starting to tweak.CPU-Z says 1.36 load. Dfi Dk P35 2x2 gb Gkill 8000 water cooled. Gonna try for 4500 again later but nervous bout breaking that 1.45 volt limit
Q820a761
I have a Q820A405 that runs kinda hot at idle, but not that bad. Load temps max = 61c at 4.5ghz. It also Orthos blend Pr 9 stable 2 hrs at 4.5ghz with only 1.33vcore.
Maybe you've got a bad mount, really hot ambients, bad cooler or something. Either that or it's just not a great one. But I figured I'd tell you mine of the same batch is doing great.
Got the same batch as this. http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=400587Quote:

Purchased E8600 retail from mwave on ebay for $215 after MS live.com cashback :) Putting a new PC together with Asus Maximus II Formula :)
Will update with results later this week. :)
E8600 arrived about three hours ago. OCCT stable 4400 vCore of 1.26875. Presently testing 4500 with vCore of 1.3000.
This chip is a bit toasty - Running load temp at 4400 and 1.3 of mid sixties (Real Temp).
this chip is Q820R406 with vid of 1.1625
