I tested someone elses Phenom 9600 BE today morn who thought the 3rd core was faulty at stock on a AM2 MB (ASUS Crosshair) and it turned out the chip ran fine but had compatibility issues with the BIOS and would give a BSoD at or during boot. Flashed older better BIOS to get it running fine.
Agree!

I will test them during weekend on MSI K9A2 Plat V2 just to make sure, but the one I sent back 3 weeks ago was found to be faulty.

On top of that I've already tested different BIOSes for my mobo with these Phenoms with no major difference for stable clocks.

I probably need to wait for B3
