time to pwn! Sniped one on ebay, paid a pretty penny but worth it imo. Def paid more than gutterz lol will hold its value me thinks

thinking a p5e3 premium should be good for 630fsb or so, any thoughts?

I'm still confused on these. Are they ever going to be released or was there only a few made which some how got into the public?

Must be since the ones I have see here in the last few days were no ES chips! Also looking on HWBOT these don't really clock as well as the E8600? Well either way a nice chip and looking forward to the numbers!

rev im going to use the 2x2gb ddr3 kit 2133 cas 7 g.skills

Pretty sure they wont be released as retail?
Also I think on average they clock better than the e8600 which are a real crap shoot.

Hum the best one on HWBOT is like 5.7. I guess peeps dont validate the better runs?

gutterz is at 5.4ghz on water

I think there are just so few results so far.
