i hate to say this, but while california might look like communist china, its not. no one is forcing those people to take money from evga. does the one on amazon come with watchdogs too?

oh, and before you go saying i agree with the NSA, i am not their number 1 fan. I also disagree with the wars in iraq and afghanistan... i much rather think we should have just bombed them back to the stone age and left ;)

sigh. another uninformed democrat. clearly you dont know squat about evil "corporations". They have a duty to provide profits for the shareholders. Thats all a corporation's duty is. It is NOT to take care of the "worker"(communist term) or provide benefits. It is ONLY to make profit for...

bought a matched pair of these and only needed one. CPU was tested for function and removed, then the second was put in and tested for function. both worked so the second chip stayed in. looking to get 120 shipped with insurance for this chip. i dont have/do heatware. i rarely ever sell...

It was the stand offs. The board was not completing ground. I bought standoffs and reinstalled and it fixed the problem. Rig is up and running. This CPU is a champ. My board won't go above 200 bclk but I have it running at 3.4 at 1.1vcore and max temps are 51 on the hottest core with an old...

got my pair of chips in today... however can't get the monitor to get a signal to see the damn screen. probably because i dont have enough mb standoffs. hoping that is the issue. it will turn on and power up but not boot and no post beep. gonna pick up some standoffs tomorrow and hopefully that...

hey, that would be great. i appreciate that. i have 2 chips coming, but if i can't find an overclockable board then ill just sell 1 of them. i am not into super overclocking, but i would like to have a 6 core at about 3.6ghz on air. that would be plenty for this machine. i just built an ivy...

does anyone know where to find a dual socket board at? Highly prefer one that allows over clocking. I snagged a pair of the L5639 chips and would like to play around with a dual cpu setup. i have an MSI board in 1366 from way back, so i will use one cpu either way but would love to just play...

wow some of you are whiny little girls. stfu and be happy about the deal. damn.

i am not saying rule out rebates, i am saying rule out MAIL IN rebates that the CUSTOMERS mail in. make the stores front the rebate money to the customers up front, and the stores can claim the rebates from the manufactuer. i have received 2 out of about 15 rebates submitted over my lifetime of...

well, normally i wouldnt either. but mail in rebates are nothing short of a scam. i guess you dont want the feds to help stop the nigerian scammer emails that go around either huh.

its the principle. intel is giving the big FU to its enthusiast fan base. stupid move on their part, i dont spend money with companies that do that. i have been an intel man since i built my first computer. no more after this crap. i dont care if its double the performance of the i7 with stock...

well, i know i wont be buying anymore intel chips if they insist on locking them down unless you pay hundreds more. screw them. i have never ran an amd system, but next time im ready to upgrade i will buy theirs.

so i guess the simple solution there is to not claim the rebate then. rebates are bullshit. give the stores the rebates, and let the stores wait. 20 bucks for a store is pocket change. i stand by it. mail in rebates of any kind should be illegal.

i hate congress, and i especially hate the pres, but if they passed a law making any form of mail in rebates illegal, i maybe just MAYBE downgrade my disapproval status for them from 100% to 99.5%.

the polk speakers are an excellent deal. and only 2.99 shipping. i might have to get me a set of those.

interesting. i will have to try this on a 7900gt i have that doesnt work right. it would be excellent if i could get it working, then i just need a cheap cpu and maybe bake a set of g.skill ram(although i could RMA) and id have a complete spare computer.

i would not compare vista to windows 7 performance. the file transfer rate in vista was pathetic. i transfered movies from an external drive to my laptop in vista at 1mb/s!!! yes, 1mb/s. its a 7200rpm drive, its really good. i formatted it with windows 7 and now it flys. cliff notes: vista...

i dont know if i would wear this on my belt, but its a great novelty for up at the lake or gift to a gun buddy who smokes alot. me personally? i carry an HK, but i might get one of these just because its unusual. i would never wear it. could be bad news and get you harrassed. best to leave...

whatever you say, chief.

no, i am not getting rid of a current computer to replace with a new one... when i decide to upgrade, it will be amd. probably will be years from now, but it wont be intel. i honestly dont recall when i bought the damn thing, but it was a while ago. i dont keep track when i bought the...

i am upset for upgrading to an i7 from a q6600 after learning it was a dead socket. i upgraded when they first came out. i got a good combo deal from frys and bought the mb, ram and cpu for like 500 after tax for all 3. the ONLY good thing about that upgrade was the fact that the intel boards...

not sure if serious? these chips have NEVER been 150 bucks. in fact, they are still 250+ on screwegg. its a good deal for 150. hopefully it will push the used market lower.

i dont sell stuff here, or on ebay anymore because 1. there are some cheap bastards on this site, and 2. i REFUSE to use paypal or heatware 3. i hate ebay with a passion. guess ill throw them in ye ol' bin o parts.

convinced him to get the 9550. now he has a spare q6600, e6750, e4400, and another chip i dont recall what it is. what the heck do we do with all the spare cpu's? lol

the only 2 stores in my state have 9 combined. awesome. too bad i dont personally have a 775 system. i might try to convince my brother to get this. he has a q6600 now at 3ghz.

been there done that... i ordered some stuff from midwayusa(reloading stuff) and they shipped it UPS... i work, so obviously i am not home to sign for a package. i called the dist. center and asked to have the package held for pickup so i could pick it up after i got off work. they refused...

yes. board is an asus p5k-e wifi. computer is for my aunt. in all honesty, she probably will think the system is blazing fast because she is coming from a sempron... but i have an i7 clocked pretty well... and its dog slow to me. i was just going to buy it and switch it out, and put it at like...

is this worth it over the q8300? i did not like the way that chip runs. upgrading socket platform is not possible, but putting in a 9550 is.

i had to rma a burnt out gtx 260. took 1 week to get the card back. just make sure to register your product. if you bought the card used, make sure to request a copy of the original receipt. very important. xfx on the other hand... those idiots SUCK.

i RMA'ed a xfx 9800gt i bought in january... the idiots gave me an ati 5670... ruined my SLI setup. maybe you will get something like that. i dont like ATI or amd, but the card is more stable than the 9800gt, and is not that bad of a card. i am just glad it was not for my computer.

i am actually in the same boat. i am forced to use a crap dell machine from 2000 with a p4 smelleron 2.4ghz chip. the thing is so slow, that it locks up with 100% usage when opening outlook and browsing email. company wont buy a new(er) computer, even after i offered to pay for it. so i am going...

dangit. you snooze you lose i guess. thanks for the tip.

says the drive is now 75 bucks? is the deal over?

q8300 is a complete piece of junk. you better have a dang good board to overclock that pos with its low multiplier. i bought one for my aunt's computer, and the thing is slow with its low cache and it runs hot as all get out even with an aftermarket cooler. idles at 45c at STOCK settings. waste...

there is no such thing as greed in a market place. it really irks me to hear people like you say something so stupid like that. intel releases their chip(and it is over priced, i agree with you on that part but not for your reasons). it will not sell at said price, intel will either...

calling MAJOR bs here. intel HSF sucks. i swapped mine out on my 920 and temps dropped by 15c idle and lots more load. i put a true spirit on there. works well, and not half as loud as the intel with the fans im using. im only at 3.2ghz and 1.20v

my hard drives are the only thing under 6 on that stupid windows test... and yes, they are old as sin but they work. 2 500gb 7200rpm drives in raid 1. everything else is over 7. i need me some new drives, but no money for them right now. maybe ill just get a SSD.

i bought the antec a while back... its been a while. however, i did try my new 850w corsair unit and it did the same thing AFTER i installed the drivers... i think it could be a hard drive issue. the HD i am using is a very, very old 250gb unit that i found in my brothers closet. it is the only...
