Of course. There's some E8500s that won't be able to do 4GHz stable. Not all chips are good clockers. Sometimes you just get a dud.

And I have had my share of them! :cry:

............but to be fair........some good ones as well.

trog100 · Jan 15, 2008

i read somewhere that Intel europe has prevented retail selling until 20 of January....
so,be patient...

trog100 · Jan 16, 2008

yes the 20th being a sunday it might be shipped on the monday meaning i might get it get it on the tuesday.. with a bit of luck.. he he

and if the bloody thing dont cruise 4 gig it will be a waste of space..

or,like here in Greece,they have them in storage but cannot sell them yet..

Its' not just intel....
many local shops just keep them in storage, so that they can get rid of as many as possible of their older stock.....

And all leftovers are put into cheap pcs, in which, usually, the only thing worth anything is the cpu... and they actually promote this!:shadedshu

giorgos th. · Jan 16, 2008

no no no...only one shop has them here...
BUT it`s an official Intel anouncement that no one sells until the 20th.

tzitzibp · Jan 16, 2008

thats good to know....

I just hope that after the 20th, they will actually sell...

trog100 · Jan 16, 2008

giorgos.. i know the extra .5 multiplier will be essential for record breaking.. but do u recon they have speed binned them.. ??

i am hoping they havnt.. i cant see the need for such a small increase.. i couldnt bring myself to fork out the extra price premium for the 8500..

£144 to £202 was a little too much..

trog

giorgos th. · Jan 16, 2008

yes i know....the .5 extra will help me a lot by not pushing the mobo to its limits,and by having tighter ram config....essential as you said indeed...
From few retail 8500 that i`ve seen over XS,the results are very promising....~4.9ghz with water...
what else could you desire??hehehe...

4.6 from the £60 cheaper 8400 in my case.. he he he

record breaking is too expensive for me.. i settle for nearly there.. it costs less.. he he he

There are some errata issues with some of Intel's new quad cores. The bug affects the launch of the quad-core Q9300, Q9450 and Q9550 processors

giorgos th. · Jan 18, 2008

Well,today i got my E8500 Q740A493...
with only an hour of testing i stopped orthos at 471*8.5 = 4003mhz with 1.28Vcore idle - load..seems promising...temps ~39C load.
also i did a quick super pi 1m at 4.2ghz with 1.3Vcore...
Stay tuned..

Excellent OC and temp. I'm still on the fence wether to get one or not, as I can take my current e6600 to 3.6. Still have to think about it.

Great job Giorgos!
:toast:

giorgos th. · Jan 18, 2008

thanx..
the only two things i`m concerned are the ~10C difference between the 2 cores (probably a monitoring thing) and the minor issues with the multi and the mobo...
with clear multi f.e. 8-9 i had problems,with .5 f.e. 8.5-9.5 everything was good..
