No, I see Pulse's point...
an e2180 @ 3.2Ghz and £54 works out at £17 per Ghz
an e8400 @ 4.4Ghz and £144 works out at £33 per Ghz.
that's from a "best bang per buck" viewpoint.

His point goes out the window for most of us enthusiasts here though, most of us only care about chips that will get us the higher clockage and don't give a hoot about £ per Ghz.
Christmas has come early and I'm bringing the presents
Check this out.
My mate from Taiwan got 4.5Ghz on Air, did run a tad toasty though
Chip is retail.
P5K-Deluxe, Custom Air, umax DDR2 400 4gb, idle 52c, under load 82c
voltage - 1.58
That is toasty
69C was as hot as mine got; but then again I didn't put more than 1.5v through it.

The chips don't Tjunction until 105c
So he could have ran that just fine.

I also read the above comment and the peep dont want a CPU OC'd to its MAX running 24/7, like the E2180 would be.

, Hoping for plenty stock on these on Mon.
My absolute fastest SuperPI 1M I can get without changing the hardware.
10.500s
Now get priming.I want to know what these chips will do 24/7 stable.

At a guess I reckon most are going to do 4Ghz 24/7 possibly a touch more if you get a decent chip.
4.5ghz+ will make thechip worth it over current C2D's

4.4Ghz on stock cooling and rising.
2/3 divider works better over the 3/4 divider on the Maximus Extreme. Means that I have to overclock my lowly DDR3 PC1333. Now where did I put Jokesters Cellshock

I'd guess you are right for E8400s; but for most to do 4.5Ghz they are probably going to have to be E8500s.
Soldato
Trying to decide if I should go 8500 or 8400, the extra multi is rather appealing. Considering I'll have the chip till naheleam it might be a worthwhile investment.
Soldato
Just ordered the 8500 from a competitor. Can't wait for this sucker

Had 4.6ghz there, but ram wouldn't have it. Ram needs more jiggawatts.

Are you trying running your Memory at the exact same mhz as the FSB ie both 1846mhz DDR or at normal 943mhz DDR. (ignoring screens as I can see your divider).
Im sorry to be confusing by my Asus classes 1:1 as the FSB at 1333mhz and the Memory at 1333mhz also (aint gonna happen on, DDR2).
The default would be FSB 1333mhz and Memory at 667mhz (Asus class as Sync'd) even though CPU-Z classes this as 1:1 because it really is as the FSB is Quad Pumped.
So why not got for a 500FSB(2000) and Memory only needs to do 1000mhz DDR.
(Remember Im from an AMD background so bit simplier, FSB or newer HT and Memory at same speed = In Sync 1:1).

It's DDR3 Helmutcheese 
4.8Ghz and a few jiggawatts more:
