Hosting them here can also down us.

My question would be if this company broke NDA does anybody think that Intel will allow others to release since it creates some sort of unfair advantage?
I doubt they ever signed an NDA. Intel can't control the 1000's of resellers out there.Quote:

I'd be curious which distributer sold to the OP's reseller and find out who else buys product from them.
Who knows, maybe Intel is even allowing the distributers to ship early so the channle can start getting stocked in preperation for ther launch.
Intel's main concern is what the PC OEM's do vs. what the boxed processor reseller's do.
It must have been an error when they recieved stock.
One thing is obvious, processors are being sent to the distributors now. Big chips in stock at launch too.
i was thinking the exact same thing.Quote:

I guess I will have to wait until my 775 bracket comes in so I can take it under vapor phase.
stock vcore or 1.5v+ ?
hmm... that gotta hurt....:confused:Quote:

I have some weird stability issues I'm going to have to resolve - random reboots occuring at odd times (!), etc.
I'm running on barebones config until I can isolate what the problem is, so no benchmarks forthcoming (as it is, the system won't complete 3dmark06 - it will lock somewhere during 3dmark06's cpu1 test).
* Did memtest86 - it rebooted in the middle of the test, but there were no errors during the testing that it found (unusual).
- tomorrow I will swap out ddr2 memory to see if this is the source of the problem. Ugh.
* I've swapped out power supplies. I had a 500W at first, swapped in a 600W - problems still occur. The 500W supply has the 8 pin connector, where the 600W supply has a 4pin connector that I had to use the 4 -> 8 pin adapter. The 975X manual says this is a bad idea for "Extreme Editions" but okay for regular processors. Considering the Conroe will consume less power, I'm assuming this is a non issue.
Any fancy a hold up of one of these Intel deliveries?
well, I managed to complete a run of 3dmark06. I had to clock my memory down to 533 from 800 to do it - so I'm suspicious of my memory - OCZ platinum DDR2-800 with SPD of 5-4-4-15. I'll see if some other generic ddr2 has the problem.
I am running 65C temps with the gigantic copper tower and jet engine fan under *full* load. The thing is mounted correctly (I swear), but I'll doublecheck it tomorrow and see what the deal is.
incrediable, it's real a Retail box, Step shows the same with rumor,woo!
Maybe try reading temps with a thermocouple? or some other software (the one that really claims to read CPU temp, it was posted here some time ago)
Upping memory voltage to 2.2 from 2.0 appears to have made things stable. Stock voltage doesn't cooperate nicely with my system. Blast.
A couple of photos since I did promise I would upload when I got home:
The incredible thing about the box, which I will capture tomorrow when my camera battery is recharged, is that the packing date says: JULY 5, 2006. My CPU is literally fresh off the lot.
did i miss some informations?Quote:
