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

[JediFragger]

I really want the E8500, If I order now do you think i'll get one on Wednesday?

Considering the disties are distributing single figures? Doubtful

Sorry, thought it was humour to lighten the mood, no intention of spam

You prob too young to remember it in the Charts

So E8400 shipping tommorow, how many preorders and how many units Jedi?

 

[Things change I've changed]

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.

cheers for that, I've just checked my ickle e6300, tjmax is 85c so thats pretty good.

Been assured that there will be more than enough to cover pre-orders and a good chunk for stock

First come first served so you should be fine

There is no rush now, Just been on the eVGA forums and the bios update isn't out till late next week.

When are the 780i boards due?

 

[helmutcheese]

Asus Striker II's are overdue (everywhere) not sure on others.

excellent, 1/2 day on wednesday so I know what I'll be doing (not to mention thursday and friday nights if it goes as badly wrong as usual! especially with switching to vista).

quick question - I had to order by phone because it wouldn't go through online, will I get a dispatch confirmation e-mail? He did ask for my email address - hopefully he will have taken it down correctly.

Here is a little teaser of the E8500 at stock on Vista 64. No optimisations made what so ever.

Nice - I can manage 15.44s with E8400 @ stock in XP pro

Looking forward to some gaming benchmarks or the like (i.e realworld, encoding etc), not sure what the appeal of Super-PI is myself? (outside of Super-PI benchmarking competitions that is).

Help me out here guys. Relative newby, slightly off-topic question...

How come my E2160 on 3ghz (333*9) does 21 seconds on 1M SuperPi. When up against Weescott's E8500 at 2ghz (333*6) doing 14 odd seconds, it seems a massive difference. What drives it?

Thanks

ps apols if this is an "enthusiast" only thread
