Confirmed - 165 coupon = expired 🙁

Just figures it would run into bad timing for the board maintenance, I guess I'm not ment to get a 165...
 
whats the liklihood that i would get a bad opteron 165 and i dont put my system together until 60 days later of the warranty period?
 
LOL@Zebo, you're a victim of yourself. That's what you get for twisting my arm into getting an Opteron/Ultra-D. Kharma, baby!!!

Well you can't just turn these hot deals down.😛 I got the 144, like yours, for $150 best processor I ever bought , did'nt "need" it - does 2800Mhz default core, and stays there cool. I hope to get that with these latest dual cores... granted it's not much improvment over what I have now but I think i could sell 4200 for $300 and break even.🙂

Oh crap i just forgot something - I need a new mobo.. My abit won't even be able to streatch 165 legs with 9x.🙁 I'm waiting for that new ASUS featured on main site..

I've made from them over the last few months, I can only think of one that I was happy with. They always charge your card when you order, but too often they don't even have the items in stock so you are left waiting. If your CC bill comes in, you end up paying for something that you haven't actually bought.

Not to thread crap, but to put out a buyer beware...

I had a similar experience. Purchased a hard disk 1 week after I moved but left of the apt # when I changed my address with the bank. The disk never shipped from Monarch because they couldn't verify the address and they cancled the order BUT MY CARD WAS CHARGED! - isn't that the point of address verification?

I placed a second order with them after they told me the 1st one was cancled. It was after I got my bank statement that I realized they had double charged me. Monarch's customer service was worthless when I told them the situation and insisted that the fault was on the banks side. I ended up filing a dispute and getting my money back, but never again will I shop with Monarch.

Prices are good, but ethics are poor. Buyer beware.

 
I was going to jump on that 170 but I hit 2.48 with my venice on my new board (ASRock believe it or not) and it looks like my money will likely go toward a new graphics card next generation 🙂. Its about damned time I get some luck on an OC'able proc! 😀
 
Just out of curiosity, have the OC'ing results on the opty 170 been similar to the 165's, or are they pretty much stuck at or close to stock speeds?
 
im hesistating to buy because I thought all the good steppings for OC'ing were gone. Any comments on how good these chips will be?
 
Why dont you try the codes before saying that. 😛 They still work. I tested like half of them today. Monarch closed the thread, for whatever reason. The monarch rep constantly updates deals and remakes other threads so.. 😛

Thanks OP.

I got in on the 146 on Sunday night, although when it will ship out is any one's guess.
My new MB from MWave, and video card from Newegg were both mailed on Monday and due here Thurs. Not going to be much good without a CPU...

 
I just woke up but give me a second and I will update the thread. The codes started again. The 165 and all are now restarted!


**Codes updated!**


Also, If I could ask you people who order one to do me a favor. Please add code 000214 to your cart in addtion to a cpu if you order. It shows which monarch rep was responsible for hooking up the deals. Please ADD Code 000214 to your cart.
 
WOOHOO! In for an Opty 165. 280 shipped.

POST the stepping codes when you recieve your CPUs.

Forgot to put the referral code though, sorry modempower. Put your referral request in the opening post.

I saw the updated opening post and jumped in immediately. When my order completed I came to the end of the thread and saw your refferal request.

I jumped on this also this time around. Lets see what happens with OC.

Thanks OP and Monarch for 3 is a charm. 😀

Do you have any idea when these will ship for those of us who ordered the last time through, modempower?

Yeah, they're real good at taking orders. Delivering is another matter...

I ordered a motherboard, CPU, and PCIe Video card at the same time from three different places. My new MB & video card are now laying around here gathering dust, and I have no idea when Monarch will even ship out the CPU. (Kudo's to MWave & Newegg for the other parts)
