    I remember killing my first core 2 duo e6600.

    I had an nvidia 650i sli mainboard. It just kept taking more and more fsb. More and more volts.
    It kept asking for more! What was I to do?!

    I couldnt stop. Eventually, with too much voltage and no idea what "safe voltage limit" mean, I killed it, and only had the cash for an e6400 or somesuch to replace it for an upcoming lan.

    Still, taught me a lesson ;)

    looks like they just updated the website today with the new processors...at a price.
