Man why does it always have 2 end up like this. I'm only charging $50 u make it sound like its so much, not 2 mention I haven't found a place that u can buy a quad for $300 after taxes. I've seen 280 lowest but it still ends up being $320 after taxes. If this isn't for you then plz just keep it to yourself instead of moaning on the thread plz. I went out and bought 2 cpu's with my own money and hey I got lucky so if someone wants the second one for a little more then that's great. But if its not for you then that's your opinion but u don't need 2 make it sound like I'm ripping everyone off when I'm not. If it comes down to it and no one wants to buy it then I don't mind cracking it open but then I'd better get some cash for doing it. Only reason why I don't open it is cuz down the road I dunno who's gonna buy it and to a regular person an OPEN box is worse than a sealed box. So what if I open it and it clocks great and no one wants to buy then what???
If you're so avid on paying for something proven then buy my other PROVEN OPEN BOX cpu right here for $400 instead then and I'll use the other one for myself which will probably hit 4ghz anyway. Its still cheaper than buying a qx6800 or even a q6700. If you're willing to take the risk instead of paying a bit more for a good chance then that's your choice.
BTW a lot of european sites are charging 100 Euro premium for this stepping and batch code which aren't tested either.
Here's my validation link for the cpu I was testing which is 1 of the 2 that i bought with the same batch code.

Here's another link of a guy with the same batch code and pack date doing 4ghz on a youtube video:
YouTube - Q6600 L737B overclock
Here's another link of a BUNCH of people who have the SAME batch who are getting 3.6ghz + easy on SUB 1.3v

Here's another validation of me doing 4ghz:

Here's a screen of me easily doing 3.6ghz @ 1.3v for over 8 hours
