Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
No it was $99 over the weekend, with free shipping at the EGG <-- I Bought One

I'm using it with a MSI K9A 580X motherboard & A Dell Optiplex 740 case & Motherboard I got on Ebay. I got the 3600+ overclock to 2.86GHZ easily on the MSI K9A Board with crucial 6400 ram
The heatsink in most case isn't the problem, check with your heatsink manufacture to see if they offer an AM2 bracket. I'm currently using my old XP-90 I originally used on my SKT 939 OPTY 165. All I had to do is buy a $2 SKT AM2 bracket.
I bought one when it was $116, then another one when it was $79, It look like I will be buying another one for that price. What so funny I remember paying $300 for my Opty 165, now I can buy almost five Brisbane for that price..truly amazing considering these take less power to run.
Not BaD!! Heck this a AMD dual core cpu that can be overclocked to 3GHZ on air for only $73, this has to be the best bang for the buck in CPU History...lol
I just ordered me a second one for a second machine I have. My first one is currently running at 2.75 ghz for over a month now. I managed to easily get it over 2.9 with a vcore of .10%
I'm now at 2.86GHZ!! I had to bump the Voltage to about 1.45; I now will let prime run overnight to see if it remains stable. Here are my CPU-Z results:
