Retail E8600 Overclock, Temps, Settings Thread

[JaVa_Az]

I recieved my E8600 batch number Q820A405 from the egg. Had high hope for it but this joker runs hot Just like a few other people have posted. Sitting here idle @4.25Ghz im at 54c on my cores. Primed for 15 mins she is over 80c. I noticed someone has some e8600's up for acution on ebay batch number Q820A593 (used) so i went ahead and bought one i sure hope it is better If anything it cant be any worse. I just wonder why he has so many of these used. There is 4 more up for auction right now. Anyways maybe i will get lucky this time. If anyone running one of these batch Q820A593 Could you please post some of your temp and overclock results. The only thing i can find on that batch number is in japanese. 640FSB is all i could make out ...... Thanks and remember if you smell smoke you might have just overclocked a bit too far
