How many/much DDR2 FB-DIMMs are you looking for? I may have a handful of 4GB sticks.

Combo discount on open box mobos I think varies by store, since the markdowns need to be done manually by a manager anyway. I'm pretty sure the Cambridge location doesn't do $30 off on open box boards, but if anything, the promotion they run is generally better, which is 50% off the original...

Well, I mean, it's not like they haven't released consumer iGPU-less CPUs before. There were a few P series i5s back in the Sandy/Ivy Bridge generation, as well as the i5-2550K.

Kind of reminds me of Farmville or the other Facebook games that use the "shield" of beta to cover up any issues, but still bring in tons of money.

Looks like the nearest Microcenter is like 2.5 hours away from the zip code he mentioned. Also, if one is going to buy that processor at MC, you should use the $5 off $30 retailmenot coupon to get it even cheaper. To the OP, I might have an extra Ryzen chip that I can sell. I'll try to take a...

Just a thought, but if you're having issues getting through the W7 install process because the keyboard/mouse aren't working in the installer, have you tried installing W7 onto the SSD while in another system, then just swapping it into the Gigabyte system?

Does it need to be water/AIO? Noctua has a few of their heatsinks (U9, U12S, and U14S) that come in Threadripper (and Epyc) variants that have the enlarged contact surface.

Not sure if you're still looking, but you can get a refurbished EVGA passively cooled one (i.e. a tall-ish heatsink) for $75 with free shipping today. https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-6332-RX

It also depends on the timing. I'm sure some of those Best Buy laptop trade in promotions clear a whole lot of those cheaper laptops from the used market. If I recall, one of the previous ones basically got you a $75 BB gift card for any functional Windows-based laptop.

There are also cheaper E5-1603v3, E5-1603v3, and E5-2603v3 chips.

I think they sometimes just do random stuff with their inventory system online. The other day, I noticed that the Ryzen 7 1700X and 1800X were listed as no longer carried, but I was looking today, and they're both back in stock.

I'm not sure if anyone else has had similar experiences, but I've found MSI mail in rebates to be the slowest by far. I had a $20 one sent in and approved in February, and it wasn't until July that the prepaid card was sent out (where it took 10 days between the "Payment Processing" status to...

Well, that, and DDR4 prices as of late... DDR3 and DDR4 prices used to be fairly close for both new and used with DDR3 still holding a slight edge. You can still find 16GB of used DDR3 for about $60 fairly often, but you need a bit of luck on your side to find 8GB of used DDR4 for $60... That...

I think some of the confusion might be coming from the fact that previously (and probably still now), the industry naming of "white label" meant the hard drives were refurbished drives, sometimes with their SMART data wiped and with their original factory label removed and replaced with a...

Their ad says the 1920X and 1900X get the $30 combo discount too. http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/776eebe9#/776eebe9/33 The other confirmation is that when you add them to the cart with a motherboard, the board gets discounted by $30.
