    That's a lot of volts for 4500 spi. I thought these were supposed to be stable for 4500mhz 24/7 at around 1.33v or so. Yours has an unusually high VID too... that makes it a cool chip to run though.

    Test some OCCT / prime when you have the time.

    Yeah, you're right about the vid. I haven't done any thorough testing yet so I may be overvolting the vcore. It did run p95 blend for a few minutes before I stopped it.

    Check the VID with Coretemp 0.99 please. I think it's more accurate. For my chip it was anyway.

    Got my E8600 with batch Q820A602 but i dont have a supported bios yet so i got temp reading temps. But on friday i will recieve my new Rampage Extreme so with that i going to test some overclock. Just tried 400x10 with 1.20 vcore. Seems that i got a lower VID.

    that version of coretemp is not accurate. Use coretemp .99.1

    For those who got it, please post your batch, cooling & temps and whether it can run +1.5v without BSODing or getting crazy hot. Thanks .

    to the thrread starter!
    How about batch code + pack dates?

    would make this thread alot more useful than just a bunch of screen shots if we can place a face 'stepping/batch' to the sshots

    thanks also location and store purchased?

    Q820a405 seems good. VID=1.200

    I only did quick checks on air with 1m, but it seems to love low v. Could boot and run 1m @ 4ghz with 1.15v, probably less but I was looking to go up. Temps were normal & scaled well and together exactly. No problems at all with max v on air. I went up to maybe 1.56v where I decided to wait for cold and experienced no problems whatsoever.

    Cold coming soon, like tomorrow lol.

    I just ordered my E8600 from shopblt.com. They have plenty in stock at $290 but all that aren't sold today will go to one customer tomorrow so if you are interested go for it.

    Wow.
    Can you guys do some dual prime/orthos stability testing with say, 1.36v or less for those of us planning to aircool to get an idea what to expect? Thanks.

    I will be testing 2 more in the coming days and once I pick the one for 24/7 style use I will do stability tests.

    Would you rather see highest stable clock at a given voltage or lowest voltage to be stable at a given clock? Or highest clock below a certain temp?

    I don't use water, only air or LN, but this cpu and it's ranges seem perfectly suited for water cooling.
