i7 2920 recognizes as i7 2760

Would like you guys to help with a problem I'm facing for installing i7 2920XM the M17x R3 as it recognizes as a 2760 and am using the BIOS A12 modded and still appears in CPUZ as 2760qm but with 55w of tdp and 8 L3 cache megas in and since the 2760 does not have 8 megas but 6 megas of cache. Please help me fix this problem . Thank you very much.

 

You probably purchased a 2760QM engineering sample that the seller called a 2920XM engineering sample. What does the CPU name appear as in the BIOS? In CPUZ, do you see the 2760QM (ES) written?

 

In CPUZ what appears is that

 

I have had several BSOD with this processor

 

Yup, you bought an engineering sample chip. Many BSOD means chip is probably bad/unstable. See if you can get a refund.

 

Thank's for your attention. I find it hard to ask reimbursement bought on the open market here in my country " Brazil " and has passed the period of return

 

I have same CPU. This is engineering sample and CPU-z is reading it wrong. It's i7-2900XM Series ES2 Q15G. Works same or event better than normal 2920XM.

It's worth 130$ on ebay and it's really good for its price as works same way as production unit. ES units were often built from best silicon. AFAIK i7-2920XM world record overclock was done on this ES cpu.

See this http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...2920xm-es-cpu-q15g.752227/page-2#post-9696542

It should not give you any BSOD because im running this CPU along with others on forum for years and it's brilliant for it's price.

There is only one difference:

• ES is missing AES instructions but I think you don't need them anyway.
