Dead retail 980X? - please post here

anyone else seeing the ones with no CB are dieing the fastest?
Mine doesnt like any more than 1.78vcore 1.525vtt, anything higher the voltage will freeze windows. CB is -152c CBB -152 as well.

My chip has no CB...CBB is at -155. I've had 2 6 hours session on LN2 with up to 1.9V and it's still overclocking like mad. Tried both the UD7 and the E760.

What's very interesting to me is that it seems very unstable at 100% stock setting, I get BSOD just after hitting the desktop in Vista (while the OS attempts to auto install the CPU driver)....OC it and the BSOD goes away

So, I installed Win XP, and it was fine until I got to the part where the OS is installing the drivers for the Intel processor (12 times), and while installing the 11th, BSOD...repeated numerous times at default setting. Obviously something wrong with the CPU. OC'ed it to 4.5GHz w/ 1.4V and the driver installed fine...CPU behaves normally

This chip was made for me
