Frys: 2600/2700/2800+ combos: $69.99/$84.99/$99.99

[RagingBITCH]

UPDATED 5/31/04

Fry's the past two days has also been running 2700/2800+ combos with the same nForce board for $15 more per higher processor.

2700 combo

I cannot find the link to the 2800+ combo unfortunately, but I think it runs $99.99.

I would have to say these are even "hotter" - slightly higher CPU speed + BOXED RETAIL processor, so it comes with a stock HSF combo. The boards aren't great for overclocking anyway so a better HSF combo is trivial and kind of worthless.

Fry has some good deals. I only wish there was one in my area.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

It is an ECS. Nice board.

Same combo is $79.99 in SoCal.

&amp; a land~locked Midwesterner. <shrug> Chicago should be getting a Frys soon, although still too far from me.

Same prices here in SF Bay Area.

the fry's in fremont? WooHoo!!! that's where im at!

The board is an ECS N2U400-A, and this deal is good in L.A., too, and probably elsewhere.

From the L.A. Times ad.

Other hot Fry's deals to go with this combo:

Maxtor 120 GB, 8 MB cache drive: $59.99 w/ NO REBATE!
512 MB Kingston PC3200 DDR RAM: $69.99 AR

The previous deal for the 2400+ and ECS K7VTA3 for $59.99 was great. For $10 more, this combo is at least as good a deal, and they have a great drive and a decent RAM deal to go with it.

:Q

This is smokin' hot!

Anyone know if you can unlock the cpu multiplier with this board? Must know before buying, TIA.

 

[EagleKeeper]

PMs are sent to those interested

Frys in LV is 5 minutes from work.

This week, I grabbed 4 units that were on sale and shipped them around the country to peeps that are drooling for a Frys.

 

[thebestMAX]

How about a FRYS in S Floriduh??? We are not all rich down here you know!!

 

[hytek369]

great deal

Update for the DFW peepz - I believe it's sold out in Irving - I didnt' actually go into the store but as full as the parking lot was at 11:30, I had to figure it was gone

I can't say for sure but I would guess that it is locked. Fry's tends to have new stuff and they are all locked right now. I bought the $59.99 deal a few days ago with the 2400+ and it is locked. First locked processor I've ever owned. Sucks

Indeed. It's not so much overclocking that interests me so much as that I don't want to be stuck at the 2600+'s 133MHz FSB

My office is about 3 minutes from one of the Frys store here in Arizona. They sure keep my packets clean!. This deal seams to great! Too bad I already bouthg the $59 one just two days ago.

 

[PanzerIV]

Damn you Frys!! Please, please come to MS.

these should be 166 bus, and are most likely locked. I just received a week 49...

Just picked up the combo a the 635 and Jupiter location, around 4 pm, they still had about a stack of 100 of the mb. This store isn't too packed ever since the plano one opened.

I wish Fry's would come to Maryland...oh well, I'm going out to Cali for school so I'll finally get to experience the Fry's phenomenon.

 

[Kip82]

Isn't the only think locked on these is the multiplier? We can still change the FSB as long as the motherboard allows it right?

I also received the Barton core cpu.. very good deal as the CPU by itself sells for $85 online OEM. For 69 + tax with nvidia nforce 2 motherboard you cant beat this.

Also picked up the 120gb hard drive.. already got it halfway filled up

plano store had tons of stuff left when i was there... (around 10:30-11am)
