AMD X2 3800 AM2 chip OEM...$89.00 plus shipping...Ewiz.com

[Engineer]

E-wiz link.
Not a bad price for an AMD dual core chip. Downside is AM2 and need for DDR2.

Very nice, in for one. 🙂

EDIT: Hmm, checkout isn't working. Servers getting too slammed??

 

[knightc2]

Nice. Too bad not 939. Oh well. Great price.

 

[frostedflakes]

Is this working for anybody?? Mine still won't go through. I click on the checkout button and a blank page loads.

 

[Engineer]

I didn't take it all the way though but I did go through several steps...

Try going to froogle (www.froogle.com) and typing AMD x2 3800 ewiz in the search box. Click on that link and then try to add/checkout.

I'd be all over this if it were Socket 939.

 

[frostedflakes]

I did try going through Froogle, no dice. 🙁

I don't have an answer. I didn't finish the checkout but it started just fine! 🙁

 

[frostedflakes]

Is it working now for you?

I just went all the way to the <Submit Order> page. No problems. I did not submit, however. Is that where you are stuck at or on a previous page?

If on a previous page, have you cleared your cookies or deleted your temporary internet files?

 

[frostedflakes]

Hmm must be something on my side then, I can't get past the shopping cart. Will tinker around w/it more and see if I can get it working.

 

[mrrman]

worked for me but I dont need it

 

[frostedflakes]

Yeah just tried it on another computer/ISP and it went through fine. Still not working on my system. Guess my ISP just doesn't play well with eWiz secure checkout??

 

[Maasracer]

Well according to the descrip and cross ref the pt# to amd's site, this appears to be lower power consumption model, 65watts vs 89watts in all 939s and earlier AM2s. Nice, considering electricity rates just went up 22% here in Chitown. Would be a nicer if it was the ultra low voltage 35 watter, but still good.

Bump for new $95.xx price with FREE UPS shipping!!!

Will a retail HSF from a AMD 939 socket single core CPU fit the X2 AM2 CPU?

Yes.

Dang, the price is tempting... must resist... but want to see how much I can overclock one...

what is a good o/c board that isnt too expensive for this?

I thought S939 HSFs were incompatible with AM2?

 

[TruePaige]

Nice price. Glad I sold mine before prices fell through the floor like that. =X

Is $90 (plus shipping/tax) not too expensive for you? If not, then the Abit NF-M2 Nview is the best choice.

If it uses the "stock" mounts, then it works fine. Retail box HSFs use stock mounts.

Word up Zap, this is exactly why I needed this CPU... for an NF-M2

Let me know how that CPU overclocks. I got a Sempron 2800+ (128k cache, 1.6GHz, 8x multiplier) on the board now and can get it to around 2.9GHz with some crazy voltages. That's around 360MHz+ for the HTT.

I made my first order using eWiz last week, must say I'm impressed. My item was OOS, they put my order on "hold", sent me 2 emails and left me a voice mail. Great customer service.

Ahh... can't help you there. I never OC my chips.
