Dude, that's not a bad price. I'll have to wait for the overclocking results first though.

That ain't a Prescott- it's a 2.8C.

[Soulkeeper]

by the time the retail ones are in stock there should be some good oem overclocking results

 

[THUGSROOK]

welp,
i intended to buy one just now, but i accidently clicked on the 2.4b and bought that insted.
old habits die hard

i think ill wait for results from PJ, ProfessorFate, and some of the other big boys around here before buying one.

 

[SilverBack]

I ordered one a few minutes ago.
I'm in allocation waiting for my 3.2 that I ordered.
It's going in my Water Rig ...

Anand didn't have any issues bumping the 3.2 ( i believe to 3.7 )

Are retail prescotts out yet, or when can we expect them? I am going to sell my 2.6c@3.27 ghz and get a prescott to play around with.

 

[Soulkeeper]

well i had hopes that they would start to funnel into stores last week
but it looks like intel wants to rework the core some more and maybe hold off on the retail ones, if this is the case we may not see many if any retail prescotts till next month

 

[althes]

The oem prescotts are overclocking butheat is an issue.

 

[slag]

i want retail for the warranty, not the overclockability or possible lack thereof.

ZZF has 2.8e retail boxed for $205
outpost.com has 2.8e retail boxed for $170

outpost.com has 2.8e retail boxed for $170

Yeah, but will they guarantee it'll arrive with bent pins?

Hopefully a retail boxed chip wouldn't suffer the same fate as the 2.53GHZ OEM B chips that were such awesome overclockers.

I ordered one of these chips from newegg yesterday, I am looking for an acceptable heatsink right now ;o

 

[Fragtastik]

My results were on an alpha 8942. Go with the zalman or the sp94. You cant go wrong with either 1.

 

[327]

I'm going to try out one of the copper core Intel Northwood heatsinks for now. Might upgrade it later

I got my retail 2.8E from Fry's yesterday for $199. It is at 3.4 with default voltage. Temps are at 70c under full load.
