What are the odds on that. Almost unbelievable huh.
Yea. It's hard to believe considering someone at Intel more than likely checked out the chip they were going to send to a prominent reviewer before it went out the door.

I wonder if they over volted it or did something to hurt the chip. Or perhaps it could have been damaged by static discharge before installing?

Btw... has anyone here EVER damaged a component due to ESD? i've been building computers for 20 years and have never once had it happen. (famous last words.... like when i posted up that my Dell XPS M1530 was perfect and had no GPU problems. ZAP.... the following week it died )
