is it on the cpu box? or is it just printed on the actual cpu itself. i ran cpu-z and it doesn't give you actual stepping just other random crap. anyway else to find out?
 
where did you buy it from? When? If its newegg in the past week the stepping is 0551wmpw. i just got mine yesterday... 165 rite?
 
well looks like im going to find out. i have to swap out my mobo. don't buy my mobo if u have a btx "like" case (you know where mobo is upside down and psu is below it)

Looks like you'll have to buy a new case..there are no BTX motherboards for AMD.

yeah, not btx i meant like a case that has the mobo upside down. sorry

What case is that, I've never heard of one like it before?

Yeah, the motherboard is at the top, the side panel opening is on the reverse side. Also, the PSU is that the bottom of the case. It's pretty cool, actually.

check out some of the high end gaming PCs over at Voodoopc.com. Most of them are BTX like.
