I just got in a 2400+ XP-M with the right stepping from a ebayer. The dude said he ran it at 2.5GHz (12.5x200). ...does it looked cooked to you guys?

The discoloration is scarying me, as are the melted looking rubber thingys.

I have to wait another day or two for the motherboard to come in so I can't test it right off. The brown one is the OCed XP-M. The slate-blue one is my 6yearold 900MHz T-Bird. FYI the seller has 100% positive feedback, so I don't doubt him too much. Perhaps he just pushed this chip a little too far and it still works, just compromised?

Thanks,
DrCR
