Interesting... I've heard reports that an unopened pack of Lifesavers is an indication of a pre-tested cpu that does not OC well. Kinda the company's way of trying to kiss up.

Seriously though, there's only one way to see how good it is... get offline now and start testing it! :D

I hate TCWO... I ordered a case from them a few months ago, thought the price was great their promptness and customer service was terrible. Most of their prices are high too. I'll never buy from them again. Every time I try someone other then Newegg I am disappointed. Newegg has got to be one of the very few that has low prices AND great/reliable service. This is coming from someone that's purchased over $10,000 worth of equipment from them in the past 2 years.

hope you get what you expected out of the chip.

Well I have yet to test the chip but TCWO impressed me. I ordered late friday evening with fedex 3 day saver shipping and received email same day and received the chip on Monday. Quickest shipping I have seen.

I dont have the money right now to buy the unlocking kit so for the time being what I try to overclock the chip to?
