Got my new 980x today.

The egg sent me a new OEM chip (no heatsink..). Same exact batch as the one I RMA'd.

3003B242

At least it is a new one, because there isn't a hint of dielectric grease in the nooks and crannies.

Mixed feelings about performance, but overall kinda scared. It doesn't like a lot of voltage, but does better at lower volts than the last chip. The IMC seems better than the last chip. But with brief testing it's giving me kind of a wall at only 5.1 GHz on SS. Could probably blast past it, but a voltage jump from 1.45 to 1.55v doesn't really get me anywhere and I'm gonna take my time.

Sure hope it scales with cold.....




Crappy score, but I wanted a chance to use OC's calculator.
