Comments from gamerdude reflect that he obviously violated the conditions of Intel's warantee; otherwise he would have been reimbursed for damages to his computer and a refund for your CPU. Therefore comments from gamerdude should be removed from the review permanently and immediately. P.J. Busche SSgt, USMC retired

their's a reason i call bs on gamerdude 1: if he moded his m/b to take off the auto shut down for high temps that's his fault 2: the auto shut down checks for high spike in temps and shuts off pc before damage. it is in all m/b after like 2005.

I don't dwn this processor atm but I'm sure its fast. This is the third response to Gamerdude. Did you ever think to put in a heatsink and fan on the top of the processor? If I bought this proc., I would probabely recommend a liquid cooling fan, just because of the sheer heat.

This is another response to Gamerdude's review. I have this processor and it ROCKS. Screaming fast. Gamerdude: If it melted because you ''just stuck it in there'', well, that's Darwin at work for you! I would have charged you just for wasting a good processor through stupidity.

this is a response to gamerdude's negative response. Maybe you didn't put the proper cooling system on it, this is an OEM version of the processor - note NO hsf included. and if you bought a cooling system, maybe you didnt put it on properly! I run this processor in a loaded down computer with two 9800s and 8GB DDR3 and a 1600watt psu - I have it on LC system and get a temperature of 95F
