I should have an E8400 arriving tomorrow which I await with some concern. I guess there will be a few of us here who have ordered in the last week all receiving CPUs from the same batch in the next few days, all in the same boat.
I don't have an E6750 or similar to benchmark against but needless to say if I experience the problems outlined above I shall not be calling Intel to discuss, but will instead hoy it straight back to Scan as is my statutory right. Hoping it won't come to that though
