Hey Guys just got a spanking brand new E8500 from tigerdirect yesterday. this thing is stable at 1.5V load 4.4ghz...can prime @ 4.5ghz, but it fails @ 30 minutes, and can boot into windows @ 4.6ghz and play games or run benchies. has been running prime so far for 12+hrs. will call fully stable once it hits 16hrs. and oh i need 1.29Vcore to run stable @ 4.0ghz. i think i got an average chip...considering its an E8500. my 24/7 overclock will be 4.0ghz at 1.29vcore.....
