Retail E8600 Overclock, Temps, Settings Thread

[LagunaX]

The cheapest e8600 is $279 at newegg.com and not even q822 like in Europe.

I picked up this e8500 E0 at Fry's for $189 with a free ECS G31T-M mobo.

Same performance for $89 less plus a mobo for the girlfriend, lol!

This chip can do this on air:


But for cooler temps for 24/7 it runs at this:


This is on a cheap DS3L mobo too. Discovered it needed active northbridge cooling after it kept crashing after exactly 18 min 30 sec during orthos for anything above 4.3ghz. Doublesided taped an old DFI Lanparty NB fan on the NB and runs orthos no problems now.

So short of the magical European q822a e8600's these e8500 E0's are on par with the q820a e8600's for $89 less.
