It could be any of those but so many folks are having the same problem on so many different boards and chipsets that one has to assume that the only common denominator, the chip, is at fault. Unfortunately, Tankguys doesn't warranty CPUs and I have never returned a chip to Intel. At $200 it isn't a huge deal but this is pretty disappointing. Great chip but WTF, you can't read the temperature? Makes it worthless on the resale market. Looks like the wife may be going Wolfdale as she is still using my old 4400X2 in her rig.
