It just sits there in the box until my next paycheck. How much do you have to underclock?

Grantofhell Fully Optimized Messages 3,762 Jun 24, 2009 #24 I wasn't so lucky. The CPU died and had to be returned so I could buy the replacement.

Grantofhell Fully Optimized Messages 3,762 Jun 24, 2009 #29 I didn't have it replaced through Intel. TigerDirect took it back. EDIT: I wouldn't call this one a "thread jack". He's the OP...

OP OP foothead Omnicide now. Messages 10,027 Location My own personal hell Jun 24, 2009 #30 LOL exactly. I jacked my own thread. Now it's time to sue myself So tigerdirect takes it back after 8 months if you burnt it out by OCing? I think I am gonna buy my 955 there then.
