which is the best batch of E8400??? in 9 days i change my E6750 by E8400, greetings
Q743A seems to be leading the pack (4.3GHz 24/7 stable at 1.344vcore). But that is just my result

The 743 and 745&46 seem to do very well. I have a 745 myself S spec SLAPL that can do 4300 at 1.36v 4500 at 1.45v and can bench at 4800, max is 4900 on water.:)Quote:

it isnt at all me thinks. mine is at 4 gigs , 1.38V and idles at 50 and loads at 70. strange is at default it idles at 44...
has anyone got his cpu ihs off so far?
Anybody tried to order from here http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0281097
It's only $200. I doubt they will give me a batch number if i call them. My hands are itching.......
I doubt they will even know what a batch # is :up:
E8400 retail on display (last week in one of MC) was Q748A223Quote:

Time to quit before I have to call the fire department and put them on stand-by.
Look what you crazy guys at XS have made me do now.
SuperPI 1M=10.328s

I've hit the practical wall with these parts on air but I'm not too ashamed of my daily driver.
do you fiddle your fingers while your palms are sweating, waiting to see if it will boot all the way into windows, praying for it not to BSOD... also while you have on your mind "I'm better off not checking my temps"? I do. :shrug:Quote:

Yeah, they tend to do that at 2000 fsb. WTF? :)
How do i tell what my Batch is? I have a low VID (1.1125) But im still fooling with voltages at 3.83GHz, Going to try for more tomorrow night but this 3.8 is a guaranteed stable. I have the processor box, is it on there?
On the box itself, the series of number after FPO/Batch# is your Batch#. On the CPU, this same series of number will also show as the very last one on the IHS.Quote:
