Its not degradation, was like that new.

The chip is just a fucker.

Hence the price, was half retail UK price.

Sorry if your dissapointed fella : [

Also I'm not fussed if its a good clocker, potentially trading my 3220+ domino ALC for the chip + 2 4850s.

Meaning I can sell my current cards and perhaps buy another quad in a few months : ]

Thinking q9650.

4ghz 24/7 :D

Yup 3220 trading for the 2 4850s, fair trade same second hand value.

Domino ALC I was selling for 40, guy was asking 30 for his chip so I asked for the chip + 10 pounds.

That's right.

I'm not doing any video editing at the moment so don't need the quad.

Well theres your answer :p

over 1.45 volts with 45nm and things can potentially go wrong any time.

Might last a year might last a day!

You do have epic cooling though so who knows :p

not on the e5200... its only a standard heatpipe cooler, on a multifan-benchcase... temps are good, but not phenomenal:D

Eh, then I vote for not very long.
Remember I once put OBSCENE volts through the chip so I imagine any more crazy stuff would kill it dead lol

how do you recognize, a chip is burned out?

Well either your system will randomly shut down, or it wont turn on again. You will go and try to turn your PC on when you wake up, but you click the power switch 4-10 times and still no power up, then you go to the back of the PC and check the PSU Switch to make sure its flicked to the I not the 0.

After that you rub your eyes and then put your hand on your face and grown, because your PC is acting retarded, and something is loose you get dressed you open your PC up and check every connection to the motherboard, HD drives, video card, and of course the 2-pin Power Switch wire that connects to the motherboard. You do this 2-3 times then switch video cards and take out and put in add-on cards in 10 diffrent configurations. After it hits 12:00 o'clock in the day and your PC still aint turning on, then you think about how long you have run the PC on 1.56 volts and Realize that your CPU Burned out >.>.....

Or your PC Powers up but theres a black screen, but all the fans and everything is still powered just fine. On my system it didnt even turn on i belive. After i put a pent 4 on my motherboard and it booted up, i new my e5200 was burned so i slowly with a tear in my eye walked to the trash can and threw it out :cry:.

*EDIT* I did some benching today to see what my old 192 GTX 260 and e5200 with ddr2 1066Mhz ram can pull of on a regular bench on 3dmark06.
No settings were touched with the 3dmark06 everything was left as if you barely installed it(i barly did).
Memory was at 931.2Mhz at 4-4-4-12 Timings :D!!!!. My Old GTX 260 was at 720/1458/1212 clocks, and my processor was at of course 4.413 Ghz at a blazing 1.76 volts...

Great job bro, this answers a question I asked on the phenom II thread. I was asking what cooling you used. :respect:
Thanks bro:) I wish I can get 965 C3, it will be so easy to break 15 sec. without trying to fine tune mem settings and nb clocking like this old cpu

Not too familiar with the new AMD CPU's, I kinda lost a bit of my AMD touch when I got rid of my Phenom 9950. I had a PH II 940 but for very short while so really never got the feel for it. Is the 965 retail already?

If I'm not mistaken, they go pretty high. But like I said, don't know much about them. I will eventually own one again. Hopefully I'll keep it a bit longer than I kept my 940 :laugh:
