Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool Fail

[everit]

I've tried running the IPDT tool and kept getting red FAILED status. What is this and how do i fix it? I'm kind of a noob when it comes to these things. It's a little more advanced for me. I bought the chip off of amazon (third party) and i noticed the red FAIL scenario says sample unit. What is this? Exactly what it means or could it be a knock off?

Also yes, I did run as administrator.

Log:

--- IntelR spbc Module Test --

Test Information
The purpose of spbc.exe is to determine if the processor under test is either a
sample or production processor

..Options are as follows -
-h This message..
Example
spbc.exe -h

-c If present this option will output to display the results
information using the following color scheme
- green - PASS scenario production unit detected..
- red - FAIL scenario sample unit detected..
- yellow - warning message indicating SPBC could not determine
if unit is either a sample or production processor..
Example
spbc.exe -c

-info Information switch that publishes parallel information
using the following scheme
parallelnosocketyescoreyes

-resultName The resultName switch provides a way to name the results file
as desired. Otherwise SPBC will generate spbc_Results.txt
file containing the results information of the test run..
Example
spbc.exe -resultName spbc_Results_0001.txt

Dependencies
spbc_LocalConfig.xml
WinRing0x64.dll
WinRing0x64.sys

What does it mean? It means you were sold an engineering sample instead of a production (retail or OEM) processor.

Technically, engineering samples are the property of Intel and not supposed to be sold. They are early versions that were supposed to be used to test hardware and software compatibility before the chip is released for sale, and generally run slower and hotter than later production chips.

If you only want to test function of the chip then you can do as BigBoomBoom suggested and disable the ES check.
