Got this delivered today, be interesting to see if it's as cool running as people say.

It if gets more toasty than my current 4050e, then I might just sell it on.

good chip but it looks like they still have some compatability issues with certain ram. Few people waiting for a bios update however think im going to get some ocz plats as they seem to work well with the chip/board combo i have and flog the g skills.

mines the same stepping unlocked the L3 on it and still runs cool

That one is one of the good batches then if you can unlock l3.

They run very cool indeed!

Dont think I can unlock anything with my old 780G, I'm using standard Crucial in my HTPC, so I shouldn't have any problems.

Just need to the misses to goto bed now, as she's watching some crap on it, hopefully get it installed later.

good good, do let us know how you get on with it all

Well so far its cooler than the old 4050e, but then it has a lower power saving state, it poodles along at x4 multiplayer (800mhz) at 0.8v when doing just HTPC type duties. System seems a little snappier, but that probably due to better memory controller and HT, rather than more Mhz.

I'll get my power meter out later, see how much my HTPC now uses in total (doing my bit to keep the greenies happy)

glad you seem happy, good chips they are!
