all proceeds go to charity, or so says the ebay page so either way, if it is AMD or if its a private entity, it really doesn't matter as everything raised goes to help old folks.

Maybe it's just a pretty excuse to cause AMD not to piss of on people selling the TWKR chip which is not for sale.
How came charity program lays her hands on a Extreme edition AMD CPU ?!?!
And Seller has 0 feedback.
All in all, it smells like scam to me !
Same smell over here... Intel has strict policy about selling ES cpu's. Does AMD has anything similar? Selling twkr on ebay is lame anyway...Quote:

But Intel ES and AMD TWKR are different things, because ES are for everyone (wich has a Mag or Website) and TWKR are only for Extreme Overclockers!
AND AMD CHOOSE THE GUYS WICH WILL HAVE ONE
LOL
Petri, can you ask your amd reps about this sale ?
the pictures appear to have been taken from one popular review source. combined with a seller with 0 feedback who doesn't answer questions - looks like a scam to me.
Yes.. It seems to be a scam. I will ask.
I know. I didn't mean that. Intel has stated as I believe that all ES CPU's are Intel's property and Intel is just loaning them. There was thread about this recently. Is this the same with AMD or is AMD giving cpu's to users as a gift and they can do what ever whey want with it?Quote:

Selling not for sale product is really low kick...
It is not a question of ES CPU Selling or not!Quote:

And it is not understandable why one wich has been selected from AMD will sell this CPU!
Other Overclockers Waits for a live to get a free sample for there work...
Note that not all TWKR cpu's go to extreme overclockers as in extreme benchmarkers. They also go to reviewing websites.
Well it's not mine, Buckeye has mine in california right now.
Why would a scammer give all proceeds to charity? :S

just FYI
nice charity
by raising about a thousand dollars they'll ruin the overclocking community if the cpu will be sold to some overclocker
How so..........Quote:
