Here is screenshot of the cpu with its current daily o.c. running (WCG 8-threads @ load):


Here is a brief LinX screenshot of the cpu running a higher overclock when first testing my Rampage III Gene:
That's in my range but the warranty is gone... I will have to think about it.
Yes... lapping voids the warranty but that is how I bought it... and it has been a nice performing chip for me.

Let me know... if you should decide that you are interested.

Thanks,

Good deal or what?

No idea who he is, but the 920 with the d0 stepping was the heartthrob of the 1366 overclocking scene

Leave the side off and it's first turn on works perfectly.

Put the side on and its a 45 minute battle getting it to post.

I meant the price and the fact that it is lapped.
