I just got a good deal (I think) on a OEM 965 chip. Is there a difference in a OEM and a retail chip? Or is it just the card board box and a shitty air cooler that comes with retail??
If you got it for less then $300 you got a deal, if not then its not a good deal as the 920s can clock just as high. And if it is a C0 stepping the 920 D0 stepping can clock higher and with lower volts.
retail chips come with the stock heat sink and thermal paste. depending on where you bought it (i.e. tiger direct and compusa) they may not accept returns on oem chips.
