    I'm going to be so pleased I didn't wait for IB if this is true of the retail versions.

    Alternate option; some crazy ******* peels the lid off, sticks some solder in, heatguns, wins?

    Could kill the CPU, but could also give one of the best overclocking CPUs on air/water for a long while.

    I don't mind breaking a warranty, but not for something I'd be 0.01% confident doing!

    Unbearable music, video is awful and he is using what looks like nail scissors (edit - cheap penknife as tangster said :) ) and some random plastic thing to smash it off..

    Certainly looks like tim tho.. and not mx4

    When you're that clumsy the outcome has to be failure.

    The guy looks like a total muppet.
