LOL, you should ask him to refund you, and for him to pay you the postage.

He has no choice

Yes I believe his pants are a bit moist.He has contacted me twice asking me to send the chip back.He will refund all my money and I can send him the CPU without the heatsink/fan to save postage costs.But I'm going to keep it cause it's not something you find everyday.I'm sure I can find someone who wants it so they can overclock the piss out of it.Then I'get an E8400.

I really wonder where they get so many of these ES processors...

Been asking Intel but they are keeping mum.

i'm guessing its an inside job.

maybe the guys wants it back just incase intel decided to trace where the chip came from?

Been digging a bit. Appears that large OEMs may actually receive thousands of ES processors. But I wonder how they get so many out of the factories.

Or maybe they are doing it on purpose so they can get rid of those semi broken chips without any lawsuit.

My thoughts too. Still digging on the issue. It doesn't sound like the work of only a few greedy workers....
