Pushed higher for 24/7 still. Not a bad chip, water cooled and lapped.

Sounds like a great chip back in the day - I remember when I would scour the forums and ebay for a chip like that (lol 2 mo ago...)

My e8500 E0 does is 4.3ghz orthos blend stable @ 1.29v.

What are the likelyhoods of getting a E0 E8500? I'm about to drop the cash for one right now.

I have a somewhat good feeling that either way, I'm gonna see clocks upwards of 4.3 no matter what stepping I get. For the hell of it, results should be Friday.

My E8400 does 4.05Ghz stable at 1.28V. Seems pretty good.... its on a GA-965P-DS3 rev3.3

All the recent reviews at newegg seem to indicate they do not have E0 yet.

Where is everyone getting them at then? ZZF or Tiger?

Fry's

Fry's

Waahhh? Seriously? Just calling in the order or do they even do that? I want my chances of getting the E0 stepping as high as possible without breaking the bank. $100 dollars more for the E8600.. Guffaw!

No, you have to go to a store and make sure you get the SLB9J for e8400 or SLB9K for e8500.

Well, damn it all. Why can't I still be living in the Houston area? Blast. May have to stick with the C0 which I suppose ain't -that- big a deal.

[lha]

So guys is the E8500 E0 stepping kind of "rare" ?

[LagunaX]

A guy on ebay has 2 chips e0 e8500's for $185 shipped.
I might pick up one since at Fry's it still runs me over $200 with tax.

There was a rumor a while ago on OC Forums that clock for clock E0 might be slower than C0 steppings. I finally found a thorough review that shows when both processors are at the same MHz that there is virtually no difference in performance. Any slight difference favors E0. The only real difference is the E0 runs the same MHz at less voltage and when you start overclocking, the E0 has a lot more headroom.

Ja. C0 e8500's usually max'ed out on air 4.1-4.2ghz. E0's go 4.3 to 4.5ghz on air.

Got my C0 8400 couple days ago,.. trying hard to find E0 but no luck

My goal is 4Ghz daily, been trying to get is stable, ....finally

Not really the best chip but at least reach my goal



thx

Wow i got my E8500 E0 today and it went to 4.4 Ghz with standart voltages, it seems to be such "queen" (i love this E8500) today i OC ed this processor only to 4.6 Ghz @ 1.47 V and SP1M was 9.969 s with crap cas latencys..

[Peter949]

batch?

[ownage]

You gotta have E0. I can't believe people are settling with 4ghz wolfdales. Even most e6850 cpu's did 4ghz stable on air or water.

batch?

i have Q820A636 batch

[kamikaze24]

Hello guys

Yesterday i've bought an E8500 E0 batch Q820A796

3.8ghz occt ok 1h a stock vcore (1.25v) . 4.2ghz no stable .

4.0@1.3 ok occt . 4.2ghz => reboot .

I need find good paramter on my P5Q deluxe i think .

Yeah that sucks... I am well known "lucky" guy so my E8500 E0 went to 4.4 ghz with standart volts as i have already told.
E: i have asus p5k mobo
