Actually. I lied earlier. I'm the guy with the mask. The UPS is in the chair that you see.... <evil laugh>

[MrMojoZ]

It's like... a very bad dream. If you haven't seen it... then Run... don't walk... to the closest video store and rent it.

Whats a "video store" ?

[tictac]

[Brother Esau]

Hey Tic tac if you don't mind me asking who is that lovely girl in your avatar

[tbone8ty]

[Daveburt714]

Keithlm: Maybe I need to watch Brazil again, it's been a long time... I'm a huge Monty Python/Terry Gilliam fan though!

I still think his best flick was "12 Monkeys", everytime I watch that film I make a connection I missed before...

BTW, sorry to hear about your system problems, that sucks...
It's B3 eve for me!!

Yes that Girl

[GunterFalstaff]

my package arrived! =P it was at my parents house tho, so it wont be until late tonight or tomorrow that i can play with it =(... cant wait to overclock this baby!

[tbone8ty]

yeah!!!! i got mine today as well.




i have the same stepping as you Gunter.


i did notice something different on the heat spreader (u can see it in Gunters photo above).... they have these edges on the corners. i wonder if that effects contact with the heatsink, or does it allow room for thermal paste?

Awesome man, post all of your results and we can compare... and as for those edges... im not to worried about it since i planned on lapping the crap out of the integrated heat spreader anyways ... but when you run your fingernail over them, they deffinately feel a little raised... dunno, but i recommend lapping regardless.

[Daveburt714]

Got mine today too...



Glad I got a week 10, but the BPAW is a little different that what I've seen so far... Hopefully that will be a good thing.

As for those little flanges on the edges of the chip, my 96BE had them too.

Oh well, I'm off to install it and do a little testing...

[Brother Esau]

Well it appears that its Christmas on XS 2day

[Daveburt714]

Well, granted this is a very preliminary report, but this thing won't even run Prime95 blend at stock settings for more than a few minutes!!

After a few crashes, I upped the Mem to 2.0v's (which is low spec). I have a pretty good feel as to how Phenoms work, and this doesn't look good at all.

I even flashed back a couple bios versions... No change..

Oh well, I'll play with it for a few days. If things don't get better I'd say that is definetly worthy of an RMA.

Looks like I may have gotten a Lump of Coal in my stocking Brother E.

[Brother Esau]

Thats ghetto Dave and sorry to hear that man!

[keithlm]

It's B3 eve for me!!

I would say I hate you.

But I had a taste. A taste of sweet quad. More taste AND more filling.

Oh but now I must wait.

Who was it that said good things comes to those that wait? Did they ever have to RMA stuff to newegg? I thought NOT.

<cry>

<sorrow>


There can be only one.



But alas... it won't be me. <insert sound of crying like a little girl>

Oh wait... is that you... TONY? Is that what you look like??? <grin>


BTW: Beer helps. A little. More beer helps even more.

Hey... Want to see some 4800+ benchmarks?????

BTW: All joking aside. When it WAS running... anything I ran was INSTANT. I want that NOW. Interestingly... even with 4 Prime95 threads... I could still run stuff and it it seemed as fast as my current machine. OH MY SWEET MOTHERBOARD.... DADDY IS WAITING FOR YOU.

(BTW: Brother Esau... I never mentioned... I have a 16 year old cat also. If she had problems... I would give all my computer stuff away if it would make her live longer. Not "realistic"... but it is true. This computer stuff is all fun.. but a friend of 16 years is more important. Did you look at the cat fountain link I sent you? It is a GOD thing for a cat. Worth every penny. Oh. My cat is named "Penny". And I'm drunk.... <hiccup>. Sorry for the melancholy stuff. But get your little friend one of those... and when you are drunk you can share...)

[GunterFalstaff]

I finally got home and got to try this baby out... i posted my results in the dfi thread =P... (here

<<<HICCUP>>> .........BELCH .........Nah didn't really look at it Keith but I will and yes I agree I would not take even $10,000,000.00 in Exchange for my little boy Marshall I have had him since he was a couple of months old and was one of the first people to hold him when his eyes opened He's my Bestest friend in the whole world he's lived in Hawaii and been everywhere with me

my phenom came was stable 3ghz on stock air with stock volts then died 45 minutes later memory controller looks to be busted

If you just raised the freq. to 3Ghz (all Volts at stock) it's highly unlikely IMC or any other part is gone.It might have happen only if your temps were skyrocketing to 100+ deg. Celsius.

post led's on both mobo's show up as a memory error. more specifically the dfi board i got stuck on the C1 error which i was told is the start to a memory detection proses and if your not getting by C1 then theres something wrong with your memory subsystem. If the memory does work then the only other thing I can think of is the memory controller dead

I was going to go Q6600, but my AMD fanboyism kicked in. Returned teh proc yesterday.
Stupid Intel manufacturing makes you have to cherry-pick processors for OC too much anyway.
