I woulda swore I started a thread already but I looked up and down and couldn't find it.
Anyway, I'm trying to find some information on engineering sample chips. I remember reading somewhere that a certain code means they can or can't detect temperature so you're not able to check cpu temps in bios or through any programs. I googled for a while and couldn't find much info on this.
Also, I'm curious as to how people are getting their hands on them. Do they work for intel or something? How are they showing up on eBay? Is it a "friends in high places" situation?
