Never thought this day would come. This is the CPU that started it all for me. The best Quad I ever had. Was keeping it to run serious benches in the future with more time, but I'm afraid this day will never come. Need to go to help fund new hardware.
- This cpu is in it's original Retail Box with manual, sticker, and heatsink.
- This cpu was lapped.
- Paypal/Money Order's Welcome. International Buyers are also welcome.
- My feedback record: 435-0-0 between Heatware and eBay.
These cpu still retails for $330 at Newegg but you will never get anything near the performance and OC of a Golden cpu.
About the CPU:
- It holds the current WR for the least vcore required to run 4500Mhz stable (1.32vcore);
- It holds the current WR for the highest Q9650 stable overclock (4680Mhz w/ 1.40vcore);

After all that I recently decided to test the cpu on a DDR3 board to see if it's still rocking and the result is as follow:
