same silicon same production really some will rocket and most will dissapoint..

Hori

well there's always variances heh

updated summary after 3 out of 5 cpus tested

Intel Core 2 Duo E8600
Q820A599 07/15/2008
SLB9L MALAY
2V82316

E8600 #1 **5146 VID = 1.2500 = 4000Mhz Prime95 @1.168v load, max cpuz validation @5011Mhz at 1.552v idle (room temp = ~20.0C @3333Mhz realtemp idle & load = 34C/27C & 34C/32C)
E8600 #2 **4506 VID = 1.2375 = 4000Mhz Prime95 @1.152v load, max cpuz validation @5055Mhz at 1.552v idle, Super Pi 1M @5000Mhz at 1.552v (room temp = ~21.0C @3333Mhz realtemp idle & load = 29C/28C & 32C/32C))
E8600 #3 **0537 VID = 1.2500 = 4000Mhz Prime95 @1.168v load, max cpuz validation @5083Mhz at 1.552v idle & CPUZ @5083Mhz at 1.552v idle, Super Pi 1M @5027Mhz at 1.552v (room temp = ~21.5C @3333Mhz realtemp idle & load = 23C/23C & 33C/33C))
E8600 #4 **0464 VID = 1.2375 = Currently testing ~1-2C cooler than **0537 (room temp = ~22.8C)
E8600 #5 **0376 VID = TBD = to be tested

* I'm looking at default speed idle temps to compare cpus as the load temps don't seem to move on the cpu sensors
