216-0811000 replacement - Substitutes?

[G.Beard]

Hi dudes.

I been looking for 216-0811000 chips and all I can find are "refurbished" chips. I'm wondering if these chips are actually refurbished - as in the die is removed and then re-bonded to the substrate - does anybody know?

Is it possible to replace with 216-0810001 or any other chip?

All the ones that were advertised as "new" that I got were reballed. I did get a few new ones from my trusted seller. I believe ic-chipset had 2016 ones at some point, ask them. I will post a VBIOS update at some point when I get to it.
