Ok, It's not degrading the 45nm cpus just need a small bump in vcore
after a few weeks of burn-in, to regain stability.

Agreed... I had to bump up about .015v for mine. Probably even more. I did a 1.6v suicide run too! These buggers rock!

results of my brand new E8400 Q802A570
VID: 1.0375
at 1.296 load 4.05mhz the cores reach 90s and cpu to 76.. It rises so much with smal core voltage increases...
ı am going to crazy with these stupid e8400 cpus. either they are bad mhz performers or the temperatures are weird. or ı just got really bad luck...
please comment

They have temp sensor problems. What does it idle at with stock settings?

My new one hasn't been great so far...

Needs 1.38v for 8x500.

I'm still testing. I will post the full batch number later.

This is great IMO! Dont be fooled by all these people that are 1.2v at 4+ Ghz. I have a good batch IMO and need 1.38v for 450mhz X 9multi.

it idles: 39-59 at stock settings. it seems that second core is stuck at 59. it never goes below 59
