Wolfdale e8200, e8400 and e8500 available for Pre-Order!

I know more volts causes degradation but I aint gonna keep for years so whats the Max real temps ? (I know Intel spec 65C for my E6850 and know it can act up at 73C).
 
I'm the same. Will have it a year at most and I doubt I'd kill it. 1.45v and 1.5v isn't miles apart and I don't think it will put too many wrinkles on the E8-00 series.

Not much good without the Mobo :(

Well, if your M/B isn't in, can I have your cpu? I only pre-ordered at 8.30 this morning, so I guess I'm bottom of the list.

Having said that, the guy I spoke to at OC said it would be with me tomorrow. Obviously I queried this and he said they would be in today and sent straight away - just as well I knew better.

Fingers crossed they get plenty - mines an 8400 which i suspect will be in most demand, and therefore scarcest.
 
LOL, I still have this POS Striker Extreme but want to test new Mobo with this E6850 to see how bad this Mobo really is then pop in new E8500 CPU.

I give you full marks for cheek :p

And actually Im told the E8500 is scarce so would say less of them avail even if less demand from here.

@ fornowagain, I do not know, I only know the Intel sites states Max Safe temp of my E6850 as 65C.

wow thats low, my prescott idles @ that in the summer, I've allways thought 70c/75c was the max for most chips, also another thing how can 65c be the max safe temp for any of the core duo chips becuase don't they throttle down if they get to hot ?
 
This is what I have found so far for 45nm CPU's (Quad and Dual)

max on air: 1.45v
Water: 1.55v
SS: 1.8v

Try and keep PLL at stock, Max 1.7v. More for exteme cooling. High PLL is what is most likely to kill the CPU.

There used to be a rule of thumb about 55C MAX was ideal for CPU's from way back to Socket A till recent AMD's for most Overclockers (not sure who or why that number got made up), I know the Intels are now rated higher.

My old Thunderbird DDR CPU's (1.2DDr and 1.4DDR) ran way hotter but they had a Ceramic PCB not the Resin/plastic type like now.

Thanks, I read the PLL will kill it more so than Vcore (within reason) but I would not hesitate to put over 1,45v into it possibly not needed for 24/7 use and on Good Air Cooling.

Hmm, it was many months ago and 73C does ring a bell but I thought that was Trottle temp, I did get the 65C from there.

The throttling temp is called TCC, its near and below the maximum (Tjmax) junction temperature. If you open coretemp and select 'delta to junction' you can see how far the coretemp has to go before it reaches the factory set throttling point.
 
I know there is a Batch File to run Core Temp without needing to reboot Vista64 but its a PIA, the new build kept loading and I had 250+ CoreTemps running (by time I retuned to PC) and could not stop it lol.

I get the same temps in latest beta build of Speedfan as CoreTemp anyhow and my CPU dont have a 15C difference.
