damn it $30 off for the best bang for the buck processor around. $117 + hsf = 2.7ghz processor for mad cheap.


good luck with that

A healthy portion of venice's will do it in a DFI or Epox board.
 
The cheapest fan I can find on newegg is almost $40. The retail version of this processor (with HS/Fan) is going for $147. Not sure how much you can save on this OEM piece.
 
Yeah, just remember those retail ones will probably be coming with about a $10 fan davycop. Don't expect anything great from 'em.

Save a few bucks for this retail pkg at the same Ewiz site: A64-30BPBX - $143.17
 
actually, the cheapest socket 939 compatible heatsink/fan on newegg is only $6.99 (+ $4.99 shipping) and has decent reviews, most of which say it works fine for Athlon 3000+.

Don't tease like that without a link. 😉 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835106604

80mm fan ball bearing fan, 32cfm, 21dba. More info: http://www.tr2tt.com/products/coolers/m6.htm The ~0.35C/W rating is pretty mediocre, but should be fine for a low power Venice core CPU. The stock retail AMD heatsink has a 0.22C/W rating.

The only thing i don't like is that the copper base is screwed into the aluminum heatsink. I wonder about the quality of the TIM (if any) between the copper plate and heatsink. The heatsink is actually designed by ThermalTake and is available for around $13 shipped elsewhere.
 
dang, I already bought a retail venice for 145.

only downside to this is that OEMs have 1 yr warrenty compared to retail's 3
