Is there a Venice 3200+ OEM?

[dman918]

I may have found it at ewiz ( https://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=A64-3200BW ), but can you buy an oem of the venice 3200+? I would like to save the money and get a good fan with the difference from the retail boxed ver.
Thanks,
Mike

Every place ive seen the oem is only like $5 cheaper or less, might as well go retail and get the full 3 year warranty and the adequate retail fan.

On ewiz, it is only $154 for the oem. $190 for retail.

Then just buy OEM.

just making sure I am buying the right thing.

Retail comes with hs/fan and 3yr warranty and OEM no hs/fan and 1 yr warranty.

Every chip is sold both OEM and retail. So yes, there is an OEM 3200+.

Most OEM`s have 30 days if lucky !

Really? Dam....I only got a 90 day warrany or something on my Northwood.

Yeah, but how often does the processor die? I am not doing any major overclocking, so I have high expectations for the chip. At $160, I can take the chance, especially considering what will be out there in a year or two.

One reason to buy retail is alot of places are known for testing OEM CPUs for overclocking ability and the duds are the ones that get sold to non-locals while the good ones go to local buyers and friends.
