Ebay is getting ridiculous on i7 chips... they just say "guaranteed to hit 4ghz" and jack up the price on the chip. You are better off getting a new one.... if the chip is a dud you can kill it and rma it for a win chip.

hold on! how can i kill a chip?
if i kill my 940 will i get a different one then the 940 any time soon?
because they have already stopped making them now

and yeah when ebay get those 4ghz chips look in to the VID or the voltage on the chip in CPUZ some of them are like 1.5v lol i can get my 920 @ 4.2GHz @ 1.376v lol
