First Intel Chip (What stepping!?)

what is the processor?

Week 28 revision A. Same one as me!! lol well almost, what chip is it? I have a e6600

might be, the a's aren't really know to be really good. But, you get lucky sometimes.

its the new socket, it makes it easier to handle, the pins are in the socket.

yea ur mobo has the pins on them

so when you bend pins, you have to replace the whole mobo?... kinda weird, but what ever.

no you can just bend them back like a regular cpu. but they don't really bend, cause you aren't really touching them, just plopping the cpu in there.

Just setup my 6300 on an Asus P5b-E. No problems. After doing a quick Sandra test, it obviously doesn't beat my OC'd Opty, but I have a feeling when I do OC this proc, there's gonna be hell to pay..lol

I'm thoroughly impressed. Now I just have to get used to Intel settings.
