I continue to wish I could get in on these things...

Yep, laptop was waiting for me when I got home after work. I like it! (Oh, and welcome the return of the IBM you-can-feel-the-keys-being-pressed keyboard! )
Man, that face recognition looks weird...
As a mod:
I don't have to remind you guys, anything purchased through this program is NOT to be resold for one year. This goes for the QX6700, QX6850, and the laptop. In fact, you should still have your G33/Q66/Q67 bundle from November. Anyone breaking this rule will get a minimum one point infraction, and habitual offenders will get vacations.
I just got my QX6850 installed, but have not gotten it to boot past 3.15 GHz
Oh well it's still an upgrade from the E6600 i had.

Got my laptop and processor! The laptop is pretty nice but I wish it was a little cheaper.
Nice, and on 1.4 volts! What were your temps at load?
We don't talk about that.
It's been insanely hot here lately, so it's running very warm.
This thing is running 10-15C hotter under load than the Q6700 @ the exact same voltages.
I also need to try reseating & maybe use AS5 this time.
I used ICD7 for my Q6700, which worked a little better than AS5, but either this chip is convex/concave, just runs hotter (most likely), or my application of ICD7 this time somehow was borked.
I have my Q6700 from last year at 4.0GHz right now, mostly Windows stable, with a TRUE on my new PQ5-Pro ... scary voltage (1.6+) but I'm dialing it down now to find my best 24/7 settings. Intel Retail Edge FTW!!!
What board are you using it on, and what cooling?
I never received a shipping notification. I got the processor this past Tuesday, my order number was in the low 200s.Are there people still waiting for their items to be shipped? I received the Laptop last week, but my CPU still hasn't shipped yet!!!!
Sig has system specs.
It was mainly an OS issue that has been resolved since then (upgraded to x64), but still cannot get a decent overclock out of it.
Although I got it to load windows at 3.85Ghz, it crashes after 10 mins or so.
My old E6600 was at 1600Mhz FSB with the Vcore around the 1.55v range but it was stable 3.6Ghz, now it gets weird after i go over the stock 1333FSB.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Geez, I hope mine ships sometime in the next 3 weeks.
Maybe its good for me to wait until it shows up at my door.
Order Number: 27XX
My new possibility whenever I get my Proc:

I knew they were reject/refurbed laptops. Never like Think Pads anyways
Anyone using the laptop with an external monitor? I've got mine hooked up to a 24", but it gets noise/static at just about any res. Trying to figure out if it's a problem with the laptop or weak internal graphics.
Also getting frequent IE crashes when opening more than three tabs. Still thinking about reinstalling, unless one of you says the monitor static isn't normal.
Same laptop causes static with a different cable, on a different monitor (Samsung 940MW, Gateway FPD2485W).I've always liked Think Pads. I doubt they're reject laptops. If you're having problems contact Lenovo and see what they'll do for ye.
I've never had monitor static on any size monitor, no matter how big the screen size (up to 24") or how wimpy the internal graphics are. Static is usually do to weak connections or interference of some kind. There may be loose wires or pins somewhere. Does the same cable do it on other monitors? How about different monitors on computers other than your new Lenovo?
How dumb is this. They send me email confirmation it has shipped the day after I've received it. SILLY INTEL.
Still issuing a lot of warnings, for some reason. Enough people have been warned, just going point/vacation-mode for future offenders.As a mod:
