It totally sucks to lose a great cpu, I hope the replacement is a monster as well.... I had an E6700 that did 570+ fsb on water and it died before I get a chance to use ln2, never knew what happen cos I was trobleshooting my mobo when it happened... I left it alone for a while and it fired up after a few weeks it was running really hot though so I took off the IHS, cracked the core and now its really dead lol.....
