I agree, an AM3 ES. I believe most AMD ES chips in NA ship from their offices in Texas, I'd confirm it being Austin but I can't find my box full of invoices. Have fun with it, let's see some screaming clocks with some Core i7 DDR3 memory kits

Hmm I don't think its a 945 or ES...preety sure its retail. I'm working on getting some DDR3, nothing spectacular but it works and it's 1600 speed. Still have to decide on motherboard, was hoping to see some results/pros/cons of the gigabyte/asus.

You're gonna kill me for saying this
I'd try the Asus at this point
(you can kill me now  )
and no, I don't hate gigabyte (while the M3A79-T and the Jetway HA07 Ultra are out for RMA, and the M2A-VM linux machine is down, my ENTIRE house is ALL gigabyte, cept the servers)

Nah I have no brand loyalty when it comes to motherboards, its either hit or miss. Some times they get lucky and it works, sometimes it doesn't.
The gigabyte is a PITA to get 2800+ NB speeds on and refuses to cold boot @ 2800+ NB, then again its a GX board, not necessarily enthusiast. Probably the best GX board of them all, It was/is a temp solution to test with.
Dumo regards the asus M4A79 rather highly, hopefully the AM3 variant does as well.
My daughter will likely inherit 790gx with a 3250e if i can find one.
If plans work out this weekend I will probably be able to see both boards in action firsthand. If not then I will put this chip under DI on the GX board.

Santa claus sent it to me 
Its on air, I think AOD may be reporting temps wrong, gonna stick my multimeter probe on it and see what it says.
Temp on heatpipe closest to center of cpu and closest to actual IHS says 23C via probe, ambient is 22C.....

Chew, Keep us up to date on the boards. I should have my 945BE in the next few days so Ive gotta decide on a board until then. I realy do like the looks of that Gigabyte board.

If it makes you feel any better AFI, I chopped the tip of my finger off with my nasty delta fan while testing 
Working on 4.2 validation atm......

Even so, I've never experienced this issue on my machine.

this chip is preety amazing, not as sensitive to volts as my 940 BE, 1.65v in bios and still booting windows at fairly warm ambients.
Gonna see if I can squeeze a little more out of it for a suicide......
