Jody with TEC RAM cooling eek scary

Personally, I don't see any problems with ES being on hwbot as most retail cpus will eventually spank them - hell even my 2x i7 920 3836A756 C0 step cpus spanked the crap out of early i7 965 ES samples on just plain TRUE120 air!
Looking around I think thats true of the Intel ES chips. AMD "Special" chips seem a bit further along that what you'll get retail, if you know what I mean.
