Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I did try 4.5 Ghz extensively but was not able to get it to run stably at...

You really need to replace that crappy e8400 with an e8600, which is capable 4.5 Ghz, at 1.2 volts and 55 degrees Celsius really shows us what a HUGE improvement the e8600 is...
Installed Realtemp yesterday and I am MUCH more comfortable with the temps being reported. It seems that core temp readings may be inaccurate.
Realtemp is reporting 31 Celsius at idle and no higher than 56 Celsius under 100% load under air at 4.4 Ghz (440 FSB) and 1.28 volts (as reported by...
Thanks for the data point. I installed an E8600 Wednesday night and am in the process of finding the highest available overclock.
Its on an ASUS PQ5 Deluxe board under an OCZ Vendetta 2 HSF.
I have been able to get it to POST at 4.7 Ghz at 1.3625 volts but it is not Prime stable over 10...
