    phenom II 00 TWKR.....Help me indentify this CPU

    What exactly will the mods find out? If the TWKR 00 was deliberate or a Bios glitch? There is no answer. It's upto a buyer to decide, what if any extra significance the TWKR 00 holds over a standard 555. If indeed they were chips that were wrongly binned, or they were chips that just...

    phenom II 00 TWKR.....Help me indentify this CPU

    slightly off topic, but an interesting point. I have always took it for granted that there would be some overclockers on the payroll of AMD or Intel. But never gave it much thought. Maybe not as there main income and maybe not for direct cash. So maybe you're right and the existence of an...

    phenom II 00 TWKR.....Help me indentify this CPU

    Yep, there is a thread here with the full list.. the board must have Advanced Clock Calibration settings, if that does not work try different official bios's failing that custom a bios, and even then your board may not unlock. But im sure there are some people out there that could unlock...

    phenom II 00 TWKR.....Help me indentify this CPU

    Touch a raw nerve did I? Don't worry, "it's not your fault, you hear me!? it's not your fault" You will notice the advert on ebay I have been totally honest (unless of cause, you think i already sold the 00 TWKR and this is an imposter). I told the whole story, you will also notice the 100%...

    phenom II 00 TWKR.....Help me indentify this CPU

    money is not my objective. and I know it won't make more than any other used 555, I just want to make sure that whoever buys it is someone that will play with it and not just use it as a 2 core 3.2GHZ chip. I would love to see a pro overclocker buy it, to see what they can get out of it...

    phenom II 00 TWKR.....Help me indentify this CPU

    Yep it's getting old now, it's been in a second machine with light use for a while, I got a 4790K last year, happy with that. You do seem to be a little bitter in some way though. Like you had a 555 and you were upset it was not a 00 or a good overclocker. come on whats your story? At...

    phenom II 00 TWKR.....Help me indentify this CPU

    Mine is prime stable @ 4.1 on stock voltage and with the crappy boxed cooler. Thats about 300-400mhz higher than the average run of the mill 555. If it were a "glitch" then why does both the BIOS and CPUz both display the "glitch"? And why do only a small number of 555's have the "glitch"...

    WTB: Phenom TWKR

    Thanks for your input The TWKR 42 says it on the heatspreader, as per the photos. The TWKR 00 does not and is packaged as a run of the mill chip, that displays AMD engineering sample under certain conditions on the bios screen. You want to prove me wrong? Then show me a picture of the "TWKR...

    Sapphire RMA buyer beware

    They were replaced without issue. thanks In defense of the XFX cards, they were the quietest of the bunch and im sure they would have worked fine for games. They were still a fair bit better than the sapphires. Litecoin mining stressed the cards more than anything else. I had an XFX...

    phenom II 00 TWKR.....Help me indentify this CPU

    I think the TWKR 42 was marked on the heat spreader but the TWKR 00 was unmarked, and an easter egg for overclockers. Im not really an overclocker, so didn't really do much with the chip, just unlocked the 2 extra cores with a modest overclock.

    phenom II 00 TWKR.....Help me indentify this CPU

    so 4 years and 3 months later ..... if I now google "phenom II 00 TWKR" there are a few more occurrences of people with the same chip, on threads that came after this one. On different boards and bios's... I wonder if they were AMD Easter eggs! Im thinking of selling the chip and see...

    Sapphire RMA buyer beware

    I was litecoin mining with, 4 sapphire 7850's 4 MSI 7970's 4 XFX 7970's last year. All sapphires broke within a week. (the fans) All XFX's died within 2 weeks (artifacts and dead boards) and all but of the 1 MSI's had been mining for a full year without issue, with only...
