Yes, I fixed the speghetti after the shot :sweat:

Picture is from my MotoRokr Z6, so the quality sucks :sweat: I sneaked away long enough to buy all the crap and put them together, but got 3 reports due soon so I won't bother trying to install OS or try to OC it yet :whistle:

I wasn't even born then 0____0"

I really really want to OC with it, but don't have videocard yet, and I don't feel like tearing down my current box with the GTS, gotta work on the reports and all. Nor use the 76gt that is laying around. Ah well. So much for getting the E8400 early :p

Look at how cute the boxed cooler is. Box of cancersticks for size reference.

Edit2: Dug out my old boxed cooler for my e6300 :eek:

Awesome CPU! :) The new fan is interesting - it shows that the CPUs have a really low power usage. My E6300 came with the copper base fan, and my E2140 came with the same size fan -it had an aluminum base. This new fan seems to be a smaller version of the all aluminum fan.

AMD4LIFE... oh... sorry... still hungover from last nite. :)

Edit, also does it look like the fan blows down onto the HSF?

Nice! Watch out for the people on this forum. They'll tell you that you don't in fact actually have the CPU yet because it's not officially released and so on..... Tell us how it all goes :)

The OP doesnt have it. He just photoshoped the pic. :pt1cable:
 


Sorry you cant bring it below zero C without LN2 or dry ice. As for a PD it would probably last, because the CPU will shut itself down before any thing RALLY bad happens

I tried using the latest version of CoreTemp, but it isn't reading the temperature correctly. I don't know whether it is X64 or it doesn't like the new stepping. It shows 35c/44c.When I load down the processor with some Winrar multithread benchies, the temperature doesn't change on the 2nd core. So I am gonna nuke and throw windows 32bit on it a little later. I don't have anything installed besides driver anyways. Running opera from thumb drive :D

That's the 2nd time I've read that people think its.... cute?

I can see it now... Hey, I just got my E8xxx... and it's idling at 65C.. is dat too hot? Could it be that my HSF is too small? :lol:

Man... wonder how hot that thing could get with a Tuniq on a E8xxx. o O (you got a blanket handy?)
