I have just purchased the system in my signature, and i was wondering how long i should leave the CPU to burn in.
This is a Duron 800 whit is guaranteed to 1000Mhz..
Has this already been burnt in?

Excellent you got it then :)

What do you think of the case - pretty cool huh.

Anyway, the processors are tried and tested overclocked up to 1ghz. I would imagin that they have already had a burn-in run on them. I would personally run a few hours burn in on your complete system, checking temps along the way.

Have you put it up to 1ghz? I also saw your comment on the Duron at www.overclockingstore.com. Very funny. :)

Have fun.

No, I thought it would come today, so i put the question in early!
I really cannot wait though. i'll tell u when i get the case..
I'll probably, eventually, get some blowholes or something...

It was weird because, the untested, but unlocked duron 800 was £63, but the tested, unlocked and guaranteed Duron 800 was £59.
Would you have spent that extra £4....nooo
Before the tested chip was £68, and i was gonna get the ordinary unlocked chip, but then i saw he price drop+changed my mind.
