i hear ya. everyone deserves a good chip once in a while and i have had an un-usually long and bountiful string of un-lucky chips...hopefully that changes with E8500/E8600s. you just happened to get lucky with the right chip...nothing could be worse than spending a G on a CPU and getting a dud.

BTW, any idea of what max FSB is on air/water with your beast? i don't think i have seen any screens showing that particularly but may have missed it.

Yep - just one quick test with 1.400 volts for You - not maxed out... :

did i read you have 1.47v and 1.4v under load ? does your board have that bad of vdroop ? i thought asus has damper or something that stops vdroop ?

if so that is where your prime stable problems are .

nice chip !!!!

Nope - no Vdroop in da house....., where did You get this from? So far I did not feed the chip above 1.448 volts at all......
