As mentioned in this thread, we were lucky enough to get ahold of some engineering sample chips from Intel. I can't release major test results until the embargo lifts on the 20th, but here's some teaser shots for now



Planned test rig:

Motherboard: DFI Blood Iron P35
PSU: OCZ Powerstream 600W
Memory: Cell Shock 2Gb 1000Mhz DDR2

(video card / hard drive not important for this testing)

Will post updates as quickly as possible - expect at least a few more teaser shots as the week goes on

The E8400 has been installed in my DFI Blood Iron P35 motherboard, here's a screen shot of the stock settings, with it having defaulted to a 6x multi:



After doing some tests, here's the best quick and dirty stable OC I could get at "stock" voltages:



I couldn't nudge it even a big higher - one bump in FSB resulted in no boot. It wasn't the FSB wall either, as I dropped the multi and could easily push higher FSB. Without having a ton of time to tweak further, that seems to be the best I could get at stock.


Bumping up the voltage just a tad above spec, I was able to get this:




I didn't try too hard to push it much higher, as time is a bit limited at the moment. All in all, not a bad showing for some quick and simple OC testing.

On to to the E8500!

This one was a tad odd - the multi is showing as 6-9, same as the E8400. The 9.5 option is not present. I suspect the board is at fault, but in any case, I upped the FSB to get to 3333mhz for the first screen shoot:



Next, I pushed the FSB a bit, to see where we'd get:



Not bad so far, but definitely time to push it further




That's as high as I could seem to get on stock voltage. I'm currently testing again with a slight bump, will post when I have some results!
