Nice overclock, i'm thinking of buying an 8500 to upgrade a Opty 180.. I'm impressed by how good the 8400 and 8500 overclock, now i need to check the egg or maybe fleebay for some prices.

I tell ya what, I picked up this E8500, which was a guaranteed E0 (SLB9K) from a guy last week that had 3 for 175$ w/ free shipping

Less than the Egg and no cost on shipping as well being a guaranteed E0 was well worth the BuyItNow Funny thing is he had 3 total and while I was debating it he sold 2 within the 2 hours since I had found it. I quickly scarfed up the last one after seeing how quick they were going.

LOVE this chip and board combo.. Good lord what a sweet feeling, lol

Does anyone know what ICH I/O is responsible for?
I had my computer running overclock stability testing over the weekend and since the central air heating system broke down at times I also turned on gpu stress tests such as Furmark or OCCT gpu stresser. I had two Prime95 blends running simulatiosly since friday and on Saturday I also turned on an OCCT gpu stresser for 2hrs 30min to warm the room up faster. When I came back later I noticed that OCCT gpu tester finished its 2hour 30 min run but however the system was frozen. Prime 95 before that ran for about 23 hrs stable. I was running gpu testing with my Evga GTX 280 @ speeds in my sig, so should I bump up the ICH I/O voltage a little bit?

Any ideas?

That's your southbridge. You probably don't need to touch it.

Ok, I haven't so far. But I did bump up ICH core by 0.1 just now, lets see if that has any effect.

It's time to upgrade first post with this:
The UD3P has set DDR2 Dual Channel World Record at 889.3Mhz

hi, I have a problem. I dont know which program I should believe. When I stress my CPU in ORTHOS, the temp is totally different in these main programs:

• CPUID Hardware monitor 1.13: 55C
• Core temp 0.99.4: 50C
• Everest 4.60.1629: 45C

Which of these could be the most accurate?
