A call-out to all LGA 775 Overclockers!!

This is a call-out to all socket LGA 775 overclockers. This Intel E8500 has been deemed guilty of whatever crimes Judge blaze2210 has felt like pinning on it, and has been sentenced to death. Above, you can see the artist's rendering of the verdict being passed down. As you can see, the judge is clearly tired of this CPU's crap.

So, the mission for one of you will be this: kill this processor by overclocking it as high as it can go, until it gives up the ghost. This is not meant to be a mere "death by electrocution", where excessive volts are immediately pumped in. This should be a longer, more torturous, and more well-documented process than that.

The "Master of Execution" should be someone with a love for overclocking, and must agree to document the process - pics are an absolute minimum and also a must, but videos are also appreciated.

So basically, the CPU will go to the person who wishes to carry out this task, no charge for the CPU, just cover shipping, or come and pick it up (Santee, CA).

**By the way, this card does at least 4.5ghz, so it should be a fun run....

Oh man. Santee? I used to live 20 mins from there. Now I'm out in VA. I wonder if the Alhena5 board can push this to its limits?

Nope. Alhena5 only tops out at 800fsb. This is 1333

Dang! I've personally had this chip at 4.5ghz on a DX48BT2 board. It was like a space heater, but it ran. 4.2 is about where I kept it when it was my daily driver.

Have one of these myself and it will run but like yours it runs kinda hot too.
I was actually forced into upgrading. I was tired of having discussions about the power bill....

Well, if shipping from Santee, Ca is reasonable to you, its all yours to mess with.

See how far it goes!

Thanks but I'll pass on it.
TBH I believe there could be someone here that would need it more than I do. I'm sure sooner or later it will find the right home and die gloriously.
