My AMD mentor sent me two X2 4800+, came with CHIPPED corner and survived!
My mentor from AMD sent me 2 X2 4800+. It arrived at work and when i opened it..i was in horror, the two CPU were overlapping each other!
Turned it over and found the edge of the organic base chipped with exposed gold wiring inside, the side pins are bent. I gently bent them back. Installed them in a motherboard and said a short prayer, turned it on and BOOM they still works lol!
Oced the baby to 2.65Ghz on LOW END air! I wonder what speed i will get when my waterkooling kit from germany arrives..
