Yes, there seems to be a fairly large variance between different E8400's, mine idles at ~35 at idle on stock, ~40 at 4.2Ghz..

I have been running this Wolf at 4500+ now for about a month with no signs of electro migration break down yet. Really incredible little chip for the money.
Very nice speeds and temps. What is your ambient temp?
