I was one of the first. Initially I blamed cpu due to how weird it behaves...second is working fine First noticed degredation after a few days, posted on this over a month ago now...maybe 6 weeks.

anyway:

It really makes no sense to me...other than I got a bunk chip. But that happens...in fact, I'm off to buy 2 more e8400's as soon as the local store opens.

I've tested cpu in maximus formula, and MSI p35 Neo2FiR, as well as P5K vanilla. same voltage required on all three boards.
