[VOID WARRANTY]

My E8500 Q827A366 VID1.25v pack date 8/07/08 needs 1.49v @ 4.48GHz; 1.506v @ 4.51GHz. It is an E0. Bought off Newegg. Complete piece of crap. Got an E8600 off eBay Q822A430, VID1.215v, needs 1.344v @ 4.52GHz, but runs EXTREMELY HOT! That E8500 @ 1.505v Orthos Small FFTs only gets up to 65'c highest, while the E8600 shot up to 79'c!!! Reseated over 10 times. It's the chip. Damn I never had any luck with good chips.

holy crap e8600 79c at 4.52ghz....that sucks..i wonder if water could tame it...my E8400 at 4.45ghz runs 22c idle and 42c max on 100% load with water cooling...temps were read from Real Temp...why dont you just RMA your E8600 for another one or sell it
