I have another Tjmax question. This might sound weird/stupid but knowing Intel this might be as well true. If the newer E0 stepping is supposed to consume less power (better OC results with lower vcore are a good proof to that) then why so many people report higher temps on their E0 CPUs compared to C0 (including me)?
One russian site compared E8500 C0 & E8600 E0, and according to their measurements, E0 does consume less power at stock (both idle & load, despite a higher speed of E8600). What's more interesting they compared them at same frequencies and voltages (450 x 9.5 = 4275 Mhz @ 1.4v) and once again the E0 E8600 consumed 9W less power under OCCT load. But its max temperature on OCCT graphs was 2C more than that of a E8500. I know all CPUs are different, etc., but (much) lesser power consumption just cannot cause 2C hotter temps, right? Can't it be that Intel once again lowered Tjmax values for E0 CPUs to something like 90-95?
P.S. The article I mentioned is here: http://www.fcenter.ru/online.shtml?a...ssors/24678#04. It's in russian but one can understand the wattage table and graphs.
