Update just ordered mine from scan. I'll let you all know what happens with it speed wise.

One thing I don't get.
The 5000+ Brisbane core is the same 65nm Chip. Comes with a retail HSF ..and is £15 cheaper.
I was expecting the black edition to be cheaper.. what makes it so good?
Unlocked multiplier
So u can overclock simply by changing this value in BIOS of those boards supporting it, then fine tune if needed between grades with FSB. Doing it that way means less messing with RAM dividers and HTT settings.

ahhh thats cool.
Cheers
You're welcome.
I am just as interested to see what this cpu can do as well!
Oh its a new stepping too, G2 instead of G1
Got mine today thanks to that Scan service. Currently in as we speak and working nicely at 3 Ghz will let it settle for a few days then try and push some more.
Stock volts?
The situation's looking...
teachmech, can u tell us what board/setup have u got please?
and if u find time to run 3dmark05 we would love to see the results, its nice to see what setups work well for future reference.
System as shown in "my system" currently at 3.1 Ghz at 1.375v with an artic cooling freezer 64 with MX1 and at 46 degrees under dual prime 95.
Stable for 12 hours at 100% cpu running dual prime 95.

wow good stuff!! thats as much as you could expect from an intel chip of a similar price. Great temps to
yes its very good temps
my e2140@3ghz @1.35v (got it up from 2.8ghz now after swapping it from ds3 to xfx!) reads 54c each core (PCW2007) @100% prolonged orthos testing. But even tho it says 54c, the back of the mobo and base of HSF are barely warm to the touch. More heat comes from the NB chipset but still isnt what I would term hot as you can hold the back of the fingers on it indefinitely without discomfort.
Just a quick update currently running at 3.2 Ghz @ 1.45 volts idle temp 26 C 100% dual prime 95 50 C.
Excellent stuff, when I order mine I'll be pushing for the lofty 3.5GHz regions... I've modded my board to allow up to 1.75volts - can anyone smell burning!
The situation's looking...
lol ordering mine tonight I think. Will build it up next weekend
On TodayOnly at the moment for another 10.5 hrs
