E8400/8500 degradation myth possibly busted?

[003]

UPDATE/CONCLUSION

Well guys, I can confirm now that my CPU's did not actually degrade.

It is apparent now that the 45nm CPU's have a burn-in period of about
1 - 2 weeks, after this time the CPU's will need a small bump in vcore
(.024mv - .050mv) to regain initial prime stability.

My CPU's are rock solid stable now, and are not showing any other signs
of further degradation, I even had the vcore on one up close to 1.5v for
some suicide runs, and still did not hurt it.

Any more updates here, or is this pretty much the new agreed upon consensus?
