e8500 batch 817 results??

[Codeman05]

so. just got in a oem e8500 q817.

on the e8400, this batch dosent seem too favorable and tops out around 3.8ghz.

I'm really hoping for atleast 4ghz on water. How likely is that with this batch?

I tried to do a search but was unable to pull up much for the e8500 and batch 817...just a few hits for the 8400

thanks in advance

well, for a quick update.
Coming up on 6hr prime stable @ 4.4GHz with 1.375 volts.

I seem to be hitting a FSB wall around 475 (4.5GHz), but I think that can be overcome with a little more experimenting.

Going to finish testing @ 4.4 and may drop the voltage more, I'm thinking it may do 4.4 with 1.35 or a hair less.
