Intel really selling these puppies. Most sellers have newly manufactured chips only.

Hello,

I have my 'old' e8500 Q805A564 that I never got around to building with 'till now.

With a 'good' cpu-only WC loop, anyone care to venture on the the expectations for 24/7 speeds with this cpu + P5Q Dlx?

From the list compiled by Leeghoofd, it doesn't seem that my dream of 480*9.5 is going to be possible with reasonable v for 24/7. Looks like I should be able to hold 450*9.5 for 24/7. When I build, I'll definitely post results, but for now, any thoughts?? Also, max vcore for daily use 1.4 okay, or is lower needed for daily??

im no pro at this stuff by far but from, what i have read and heard from others, i think 1.4v for everyday 24/7 usage is a little high. myself i wouldnt try over 1.36v for everyday useage. thats just my opinion.
