Hey guys, thought I'd start a thread for the community that might be interested in which E8400 chips are accurately reporting their temps and are better at overclocking. While I do realize that overclocking chips are hit or miss it doesn't hurt to consider that a good batch of chips might be better for OC-ing. I will report my batch number and packaged date when I get home. Cheers!

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.

Mine has a packdate of 01/09/2008, and CoreTemp seems light it might be accurate. I'm still testing. People with packdate 01/10/2008 seems to have good results, so I'm hoping I'll be OK. Either way, the Abit Ip35 Pro has BIOS issues abound no matter which chip you get.
