FX-55 Availability.....

[Geforcer]

Why are these darned things so hard to get ahold of? I've been shopping for 2 weeks now, and NO one has got any in stock. I've been eying a few places that have decent prices, but most don't give ETA's. One that did have an ETA of 1-28 the other day, changed to 1-31. Well, yesterday, the price jumped from $880 to $1,009. So, there goes my chance at that early ETA site, because there's no way I'm gonna pay that much.

Anyone know of any places with the retail version for a decent price?

I've been looking just like you.......Nope!!!!!!! I read somewhere that Venders have first come first served. It's such a hot one right now that the end user will pay anything to get there hands on one. I finally settled in on a 3000+ chester until things settle down (hopefully). The chester will get me very familiar with my new build.....my thinking anyway.

 

[Jeff7181]

Yeah... $1000 is rediculous for a processor... now $900... THAT's a steal... :roll:

 

[SunSamurai]

if youre going to spend $600+++ to get a FX55 when one can just overclock a 3000+ to 2.6Ghz for $155, then I have a bridge to sell you.

 

[mwmorph]

some people like warrantys. besides, the extra cache is a lot better for some applications like vidoe editing. besides not all cpus oc the same. some 3200+s crap out at 2.3. alos, the fx has unlocked multipliers and has bragging rights.

bragging to whom? Other clueless n00bs with cash to burn? OC does not void the warranty, give me a brake n00bcake.

Yes it does. But there's immoral people (seems like you may be one of them) who request warranty service anyway if they ruin their stuff by overclocking.

Which is why I went for that 155 buck item. Who knows how this price thing is going go anyway. All's i know is that I'm not going to buy a REAL expensive CPU from any ol' vender....know what I mean.

no point. he'll never get it.

I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do yet, but if I can't get ahold of one soon, I might just end up getting a FX-53 or 4000+. Still debating though.

 

[mwmorph]

depends on waht application you will be using itfor. usually, the fx53 is good if you need that top end performance as it lends itself over to more bandwith/memory intensive apps like graphics/audio encoding/editing as well as gsming. but for a high end gaming rig, 4000+ will be more than enough.

Micro Center still has the deal of the FX-53 for the "bargain" price of $719.99. Expensive, but probably one of the best prices on a Retail FX-53 you'll find right now from a reputable company. The (Retail) 4000+ is $40.00 less at $679.99 but does not have the fully unlocked multiplier of the FX processors.

Heres a link to the AMD sale stuff at Micro Center:

Is it moral to charge 800$ for an FX55 sweetheart?

n00bcake? what are you? 10? tell me you can do better that that! it's the 1% of people as immoral, unethical, idiots like you that rma their black charred cpus from ocs are the reason the companies and stores have such crappy warranty service, return policies and inflated prices.

stop being a idiot and dispensing stupid advice.

and for the love of God, stop using l33t sp34k no one thinks you're cool for using that. it's just stupid, immature and gay.

btw, look who's the troll...25.6 posts a day. lol. aeternitas stop being gay and bashing people more exprienced and knowledgeable than you as well as giving false info or passing off opinion as fact (how to best back up a 160gb hard drive). i saw you do the same thing in the 6600gt sli forum. you've only been in this forum 13 days and you're already trying to be a overconfident, pompous a55.

If you think Imreading all that you're nuts. If you have some hardon for how I tell people how it is, then you can go wank to someone else.

Will you stop being an a** in most of your posts? Can you not argue more intelligently or at least in a more civil manner? You have your own opinion, fine, but respect other people's opinion as well. Oh and by the way, OCING VOIDS WARRANTY unless of course you lie about it (which means everything that people here have said about you is true).

I never RMAed a bad OCed CPU in my life, n00bcake. Assumtions a child will make.

Also, even if you do burn up your OC 3000+, you can havefour more as backups for less than one FX55. LOL Hey, if you like the feel of AMD assramming you for something you can get for free, dont PMS at me

 

[mwmorph]

then dont tell other people it is alright and go ahead to do it. same thing because you are spreading the evil "n00bcake"

 

[hAxsYn]

lol, back to the topic... Newegg has em --> http://www.newegg.com/app/view...tion=19-103-496&depa=0 ... + free HL2 with mobo purchase...

 

[mwmorph]

yeah. too bad my budget tops out at a 3200+ . id love a copy of hl2

 

[Zebo]

You guys STFU. He did'nt ask "how can I make an almost FX-55 on the cheap", he wants the real deal.


Everyone is buying them like crazy..very hard to find. Keep checking pricewatch.com

 

[mwmorph]

i never said buy a 3200+ and oc that was aeternitas. i said wait till they come down.
