Just got mine from ZZF on friday.

Here's the stepping:

Here's the stock heatsink which I gave a little lapping love.

And here's my results.

I'm pretty sure the board is my limiting factor here.. I can't get it stable at 290mhz for the life of me.. Tried upping the LDT and NB voltages... and nothing. Still fails prime.

I haven't flashed the bios yet and I don't know if I'm going to. It's really stable at this speed and the vcore is set in bios to 1.425.

So yeah, I'm pretty happy with it.. I'm pretty sure this chip has some more life in it though. What you guys think?

Not bad but you can probably get it higher. I'm running mine at 300 @ 1.45v w/ air cooling (Zalman 9500). I've had it stable up to 315 @ 1.55v but that's too much voltage for my comfort zone.
