Maybe a dumb question but here it goes.

I have a chance to get a 570J ES chip and I was just wondering if these ES chips have any problems or issues? I don't plan on keeping it forever but want to make sure that if I kept it for 8 months to a year that I wouldn't have any problems.

Thanks a lot

some poor quality mobos cant adjust multi's properly.

other than that. they are as excellent cos they are unlocked

i've had my 3.2es for 3 years now. its currently been under a vapo for the past year. they are robust cpus

btw i got 3 other es cpus and i expect them to last 100years :D

Cool thanks,

I will be using it with my DFI 875P-T, I wouldn't consider that low quality would you!! :)

Thanks again

well it depends on the es, most are perfectly fine and others have minor defects that wouldnt pass normal qa, though those tend to be rarer now than a few years ago.
