242$.
Just in case someone is interested. :up:
Pretty cheap considering the last one was sold for over $400:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-E8700-Core...item3358ee5d49
Yeah, they went up a few hours after I sold my UD3P :( Still entertaining snagging one to play with and "collect"
If anyone was wondering, that seller is 100% legit, bought a few chips from him and sold a LOT to him.
So any estimate on how many of these were actually made?
Less than a dozen I guess...
Think I just snagged the last one....hope it likes COLD!!!:D:D
PS Thanks Tool 462 for the heads up, your recommendation made me do it!! :up:
Which board you gonna try it on?Quote:

If it has died, it will get mounted on the wall in my shed as a memorial to a great board...and now that they are much cheaper, snag another one!Quote:

A few months ago I would have been all over that.
But it is hard to justify now that i3 530 and 540's are here that can do 4.6ghz reasonably on high end air as far as dual core overclocking goes.
Heck, for $350 give or take, that's the cpu, mobo, and 4gb ddr3...
When I build my i3 dual core air system, I'll post comparison pics between a 4.5ghz e8xxx vs. a 4.5ghz i3 5xx system...
No selling outside of the classifieds -XS staff
Not a member that I'm aware of. Not really an overclocker or anything, just a distributor of chips.Quote:

Will see what it'll do on my biostar or commando, really don't want to buy another RE but will if have too as my '01 scores really need some help atm.
More E8700's listed here from the same seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-Core-2-Duo...item3a574c2551
Ive got 2 on the way for 2k1 ownage :P I think vince and gautam bought some too
I've got one on the way, just need to get a board. Not sure my MIIF is up to the task:)
If and when any of you guys want to sell them PLEASE PM me. Thanks.
Got one also :p
Got 2x ;) I told a friend about this, and he didn't believe me for one second. His jaw will drop to the floor when he sees the chip:D
Alright, all you lucky dogs who have them need to start posting results. :D
Im not trying to be an arsehat but what is so special about the E8700? My E8400 does 4.2Ghz on air and only cost me about $150. So what gives?
They are binned super super high and they only made a dozen of them...Quote:

Pay attention to this for LN2:

Mine is not bad on air:
642fsb:

Hopefully under LN2 it can do 10.5*650...
that fsb ...thats a super bin! wooooooo nice :D
Haha, sweet! :D It's screaming for some LN2 action! :up:Quote:

Yours too? :-/
Yes Gautam same results.Quote:

Good 5200-5700mhz air cpu but not for extreme benching. :down:
Hey, Congrats for your new record! About the batch #'s, Fearlessleaders chip was a Q829A chip. I don't know if it matters but it may be the oddball. I'll take your word that these are good fast air chips and leave it at that. Thanks:up:Quote:

Damn. :(Quote:

On AIR they are the same, on LN2 an average E8600 destroys this E8700. Tops out 6.1ghz and E8600 on average 6.2 to 6.8ghz...Quote:

Dood, I wish. Due to weather in Europe, flight delays, etc. just made it home yesterday. Now to do the domestic thing, kids to play with, etc. ......but....have dug the RE out of the garage, prepping this weekend and will give it a go soon!!!Quote:
