Warm ? Phen 2 905e 65w $99.99 + ship

Oh nice. This is tempting to replace the phenom 9150e in my server.
 
I don't see this as even warm. Unfortunately, because there's so little excitement over bulldozer, the Phenom IIs are still in demand, and their prices won't fall even though it's an old chip.
 
The 905e used to be ~ $170-$200. $99.99 is a pretty good discount.

Also: BD don't work in most AM2+ boards....
 
Why? Microcenter has the Phenom II X4 960T for $109

Unless the lower wattage is a big deal? If that is case then Newegg has the Phenom II X4 925 95w for $95 shipped.

65w vs 95w for the 925.

You can probably undervolt a 965 though since it's a C3. The 955 is a C2 and will run hotter. You could potentially undervolt a 960t as well.
 
You folks are missing the point.. Someone buying an "e" series CPU doesn't want to undervolt, overvolt or anything else. Its a low power chip & most often used in home servers where the reliability is more important then saving a buck or 2..
 
I would imagine people with server intensive purposes would not be looking in a hot deals forum where they can save a buck or two

Speak for yourself; my current rig cost me about $1500 instead of the $2000+ I originally estimated. No gaming- in fact, onboard video, but every SATA port is full and as far as I know, I was one of the first people using 8GB DIMMs once they came out in non-ECC form. Number-crunching rig (data modeling), currently using a 65-watt Sandy Bridge, and will go to 45 watt Ivy Bridge as soon as they're available.
