Your wish is my command. It looks very normal. Not the CA ending on this and the 165 chip

Rad in the window is the oldest trick in the book, not necessarily just to cool the system, but to dump the heat outside. Classifying it as chilled when all you did was dumpng the heat out of your room is a bit odd. AC is borderlne, but strictly speaking it's chilled. Not that I think it messes with the rankings if you run your AC at 16C and post your results, but per definition t has to be that way.

Overclocking, overclocking, and much more! Like overclocking. 1: this is for socket 940, despite whatever CPUZ says. 2: these are retails. No ES markings, just unreleased stuff.

I've been scammed for $500 items twice. From my experience your protection as a buyer isn't worth jack shit. Seller has shitty feedback with similar complaints about empty boxes arriving? Noooo, must be the guy with 1500 feedback and no negatives who is the bad guy... #ebaylogic

If it's unclear, it doesn't hurt to have a list somewhere. I guess everyone prefers to avoid alot of b*tching later

Picture attached... this one was taken by the guy who sold it to me almost 10 years ago.

Impossible for me to know if it is misprogrammed or not. It clocks like shit, so might be something else than an FX57... Different specs => different category, if you ask me. Personally I don't think Q3FE shold be mixed with 980's, either - different stock speeds I guess that applies to Q3QP as well, to name another example.

I can provide a photo, but it's just a blank IHS. This is an ES of some sort that is detected that way.

Might be some files here: Download Dfi BIOS drivers

I have an M3H5 somewhere... if it's working I can extract whatever BIOS is on it - at some point I might have a Pro875B, too, but i can't recall if I killed it some time ago or not. The last 5 are not in my collection.

It should be possible to do some research, no? I can save any bios I have on my boards.

That CD was great to have aback in the day. Wasn't there a site that had all the DFI BIOSes (not dfi-street/diy-street) after DFI took them down? Perhaps we could host these here?

I don't think Dimas will come out of this as a millionaire. This is just how businesses work, you try to keep them alive for as long as possible, and when you have too much debt or whatever you don't really make the choices yourself anymore. It's a part of the game. I think we've all lost RMA options or got screwed some other ways when (bigger) companies go bankrupt. You can't really expect people to become homeless for stuff like this, either.

What's the budget for designing a motherboard? Not completely from scratch, but like something similar to this LN2 one.

Lots of good advice here, thanks Not sure if that off I have is valid, but might still be useful to know what works for later... Dang it, would've liked that Z9PE WS board for $150...

I read about the toothbrush, but it scares me for something like an Intel socket...

I got a reasonable offer for buying a 2011 motherboard today. The problem is that apparently there's thermal grease in the socket. Never had such issues myself, so I'm wondering if anyone here experienced these things and managed to save the board? Or, how much replacing a socket (ASUS) will cost?

I wonder if the first one killed during benching might have been my golden E8700. I'm trying very hard to remember... but only motherboards used to die frequently. I did however kill a good Opteron 185 because I had static on my fingers. 4 red LEDs, and from that day I don't touch CPus without touching a PSU or something first First PSU death would be an interesting thread... had a couple die with a bang lately, though not OC related. You REALLY remember that stuff

If it was possible to add a "case" around it it might even be handy as a LAN-case, very easy to carry around. Edit: #blind... or too lazy to scroll

About time I paid this forum a visit I'll chip in a few buxx

Some good ideas here Not sure how time consuming it would be for Franck, but it should be possible I guess the moderation team would love this, no more "missing mem tab" reports

Just a random thought, wouldn't it be cool to have a CPUZ version with a HWBot style layout? Not sure how much it would cost for a design, but I'd chip in a buck or two.

Thanks exam prep sucks, if not I would've thanked you sooner.

Happy birthday, Hipro

I really want to help out, but as some of you probably have noticed, I do not really have alot of spare time at the moment.
