Not sure about Monarch but in Denmark most stores accept open box returns provided the stock HSF has not been used ;)
psu maybe..id check the rails.
if I were u I'd take the difference and keep the chip, u will most likely do no better. my 175 was the same stepping.
I tried my 4400 and it's giving me the same problems. I tried the memory at stock settings 200mhz 3-3-3-8 and it passed SPI. I tried @ 280mhz 3-3-3-8 and it passed occasionally. I really believe it's my motherboard. I'm having trouble with my SLI as well, it doesn't want to pass 3D mark, when before it was passing fine. I just think my motherboard has died or is dying. I've ordered a DFI NF4 SLI-DR board and I'll test everything out when that gets here. Also, my OCZ powerstream 520W should be back in a week or so, that will be a plus as well. I've memtested my RAM to death and there are no errors in memtest. The only other thing I haven't tried is reformatting the HDD and reinstalling windows. I kept getting Errors when trying to boot windows about my Kernal.dll file or something was missing, please reinstall to continue ...then I got nv4disp.dll BSOD errors, memory management BSOD error, IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN_EQUAL error, DRIVER_SOMETHING SOMETHING error. Just all kinds of weird stuff....And then while I was in the bios (it was at stock settings) it just froze...that happened 2 or 3 times out of no where. Then the chipset temperature began to rize a little bit above the norm...as it has been constant around 30-35C now it's around 38-43C.
I honestly think the mobo is crapping out, and so the overvoltages w/ ram/chipset/cpu/etc etc have seized my poor MOBO and I'm getting a new one. RAM works in another computer just fine, however I can't overclock it in that one, b/c it's a crappy comp with no overclocking abilities...lol
Well, stay tuned...be back in a few weeks on this i guess
Serves you right for opening a product you know you shouldn't be using and causing price increases for everyone else. I hope the new cpu fails to live up to your expectations :p:Quote:

WTF is up with the second PRIME? Started after the first one finishes and only run for 19 seconds? ....explain :slapass:Quote:

ALSO....why does the second one have a lateral scroll bar?
ALSO2....why is there a white line above the lateral scroll bar in the second one? Certainly JPEG artifacting *can't* do that. And why isn't the one on the right scrolled down all the way?
Wow I just bought a 170 today, I paid $387 for Retail box and hope I get similar results with mine.
vapor, damn bro..
b/c i stopped 2nd prime and started it again running large ftts...as I forgot to take the screen shot first...so i just scrolled it up to show you the place where i stopped it.
if you notice prime 1 ran for about 27 seconds longer...(took about 8 seconds to start the other test)
I don't know what white lines you're talking about, and quite frankly if you don't believe it, i don't care..
Can we please have shots of it in action? And you should have said that in the first post.
And you're right, it doesn't matter what I think of whether or not it's real....but at least make an attempt to show real proof.
nope, cuz i sent it back already...like i said, (DON'T CARE.. :)) But if you guys don't want me to say anything then fine..i won't show ANY of the results and you can just wait longer or buy one yourself and test it....don't critize me for giving you something i don't have to...why would i waste my time with a lie..c'mon man.
I really don't want to step in and do some sort of stupid mediating, but cyberexia, all he is trying to say is it does look kinda funny and it would be nice if you'd show some kind of verifiable and trusted results. I think everyone here does appreciate the information on the clocking of those chips... ( I certainly do, I want an Opteron soon :D ) Anyways, this forum is great and I don't want you to think anyone here is necessarily attacking you. I await your results with the new chip :toast:
I agree we need results of that 170,we feed on them.
BTW what was the full stepping on that chip?
From what I've gathered MPMW doesn't seem to do as well as RPMW or SPMW
my guess is he accidentally hit start on the 2nd one, thus why we see 19s and there's text underneath where he's showing ;)Quote:

Not bad at all in my opinion considering how quiet the machine is. This chip kills my 4400+ I sold for more than I paid for this chip!
