    Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 has Arrived!!!

    I hear you coldpower, I personally would go for a Q9550 over a Q9505 if I was into Quads. Lately I've been seeing some Intel unreleased experimental CPU's (Q9505, E6500K, E8700, etc.) and I'd love to play mad scientist and test some of those chips that the public never sees.

    Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 has Arrived!!!

    I learned of the existance of a Q9505 today! The Q9505 is like a Q9550 with half the L2 cache of the Q9550. I bet you didn't know about that one. What can it do? I spent the last two weeks looking for a way to install my E8600 E0 (Q820A 5.0GHz on air chip) on my Abit IP35 Dark Raider...

    Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 has Arrived!!!

    It seems to run at about the same temps as the E8600. The 8600 and the 8700 are E0's and run a little cooler than the C0 8400 and 8500. I ran my E8700 for 5 days in an IX38 Quad GT. I never flashed my IP35 with the bios for E0's. So now I am stuck with one board and two E0 Wolfdales!

    Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 has Arrived!!!

    I meant to say the E8700 will easily do 4200.3MHz on 1.232 V as validated with CPU-z.

    Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 has Arrived!!!

    I've tried the 8400, 8500, 8600 and now have the 8700. They have all been great gaming chips. I tried the 8700 for some gaming at 4.014GHz and it runs smooth as butter with low stock voltage. I've been building and upgrading since the 2.66GHz 533FSB northwood. I'm staying with LGA775 for a while.

    Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 has Arrived!!!

    I have to agree 100%. With Intel moving ahead with the i series I don't think we will see any more E8000 series CPU's. In fact the two OEM E8700's that Fearlessleader and I own will probably be the last of the 3+GHz Wolfdales.

    Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 has Arrived!!!

    How to lower CPU voltage with ABIT IB9 board

    Hey, I've checked around and found out that your CPU does support EIST and C1E. Your CPU will underclock itself if EIST and C1E are enabled in the bios. Also the IB9 does not show official support for the E8000 series CPU. If you have a spare E8000 CPU laying around, you could try it in your...

    It looks like you are in luck. That is if you are using the old Dec. 2007 bios. The IB9 has a 7/29/08 bios that supports the E7200. Good Luck.

    How to lower CPU voltage with ABIT IB9 board

    I tried to lower the voltage on my Abit AB9 Pro this morning. The lowest setting in my bios is 1.35v. I'm running E6850. You might try updating to the latest bios to see if it has changed for (45nm) or other low power CPU. Good luck, the last AB9 Pro official bios is from Nov. 2007!!!
