Not bad, it must mean the 8600 is close to being out

Has Intel managed to alleviate the odd temp readings from these new 45nm chips yet?

I'm kinda interested in knowing my temps (accurately), especially when I intend to OC to at aleast 4.0GHz.

there is a program that is accepted as giving an accurate result - realtemp . the fellow who wrote it tested for tmax of the 45nm chips by running his cpu bare and using an ir or laser (?) thermometer.
8500 retail for a deuce w/ free ship at newegg. must be the "price cut/cuts"

Thanks, ordered it from mwave. Too bad they don't sell the Thermalright Ultra-120 there. Ended up getting a Xigmatec achellles. Then realized after placing the order that it mounts with a push pin, so went to look for a bolt through kit at Sidewinder and ended up buying a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme Black Anniversary Edition as well as a bolt through kit for the Xigmatec . Not a bad deal, mwave E8500 + the Xigmatec H/S and next day air to hawaii, was $10 less then the same exact items at newegg with 2 day shipping.
