KILL your i7 980X AT ONCE (and RMA it)...

[Bun-Bun]

Yes, just as you're failing to see mine! You're Failing to get overclocking and tweaking out of you argument and or off your brain. That's where you're screwing up. I really couldn't care less about tweaking something and I'm only concerned with STOCK! I said weak if you overclock how many times now?

Oh excuse me, you didn't link, you **Quoted** and what you *Quoted** isn't matching what you're saying. You **QUOTED** no one running at stock. Folks running at stock speed aren't have their processors die at an alarming rate and that's my point. What you guys are doing wouldn't change my buying decisions at all=P Again the only legit problem I saw was disabling Hyperthreading causing this to happen, TO SOME folks. Other than that, you've shown NOTHING to back your hypothesis other than to guess at best.

You haven't seen anyone complaining about how high (OC), I haven't seen anyone complaining while running at UNTWEAKED stock speed either. I haven't seen anything here to prove this is the Processor, Motherboard's hardware or BIOS or a combination of some or all of them. I'm NOT saying what it is, I don't know! It might just be some of the processors are bad.

I haven't quoted anyone but you.

If a processor is degrading like these ones are then its weak at stock clocks as well and will have a shortened lifespan. So yes that does affect you. OC'ing is just a way to pick out these weak ones quicker but even at stock they will degrade faster then normal.

Though I still don't know why anyone would waste that much money on a extreme edition to leave it on stock. Beyond me.

I am done. You are too stuborn and don't care to listen at all. Can't even get it past your head that I haven't quoted/linked anything.
