Thanks Sniper, I wonder how much higher I cuold push vcore w/o doing damage.

Your 980x is still under warranty, why don't you tell us

I hadn't thought of that - good idea.
I do wonder what the tigerdirect cpu return policy looks like, I should probably check that out.
I have been doing a fair amount of benching at 1.5 vcore the last couple days - no problems yet.

I have not dealt with returning CPU's to Tigerdirect but I have returned a 920 to Compusa whom they own. I bought a 920 that took way to much vcore to hardly hit 4.2GHz, brought it back to Compusa and they let me swap it for a new one without asking a single question.

I suspect the retailers don't care because they return them to Intel and probably charge back Intel for the full cost. Intel probably test the chips and sells the working ones to OEM's in batches.

I actually returned a 975 to them not to long ago and the staff were all pissed and claiming that the Classified board was my problem, end result: they took it and credited the cc for a full refund.

You got more guts than I taking your 980x pass 1.50v , I can't do it.
Not wanting to bury this chip so soon. jajajaja

Good runs!!!!
