[First Look] Intel E6850 Retail Box on hand

[adamsleath]

i had cleared the cmos etc...thx for the helpful comments

it turned out to be the motherboard....
i may have damaged the nb chip
i have p5k vanilla now 0603bios.
and both my old 4300 and the new 6850 are
okely dokely it seems....not sure if i damaged either chip with the 'faulty' striker ...need to run full tests b4 i know for sure.

a fool and their money...

i just didnt think the new chip was bad...so that left the mobo as the culprit.
i've removed the cmos battery...strikkkker

I know this is a 6850 thread but anyway...

6750 running 3.2G (2.66 stock) max temp 45C after 2 1/2 hours of orthos. Mind you I haven't had the need to turn the heating on in the room ...

I have a good feeling this chip can take a whole lot more but I'll set it up on 3.2G for a week to see how it runs in the real world.

@adamsleath - sorry to hear, I like these boards too for some reason

Looking forward to your results with that e6750

Hey adamsleath those damn POS 680i boards are all buggy IMO and when you have a crap chipset + Anus your only asking for trouble
