Lowest price yet on these. They are 95W, so they work in most AM2+ and AM3 mobos (even the cheap crappy ones, as long as they have BIOS support).

Pretty decent multi-tasking power, compares to 2500K in MT benchmarks IIRC.

Thanks. No try before.

Good price for those who already have a motherboard, but the FX 6300 bundle is a much better deal for those who don't. This is, as usual, in-store only.

FWIW, my 1045T, Hyper 212 Plus, and M5A97 does 3.7GHz 24/7 stable.

I'm setting up to build a gaming PC for one of my nephews. Any links to MC for the combo's? Takes an hour one way to get there but if the deals are good I'll go

Don't know if the mobo bundle is still working with the 1045T. Snagged a bunch of them (15 sets) a couple of weeks ago.

The AMD bundles are here, and they no longer show the FX 8350 combo though it may vary by store. The Intel bundles are here but limited. The i5 3570k is a good deal, but I would take an FX 6300 anyday over any i3.

Isn't showing anymore.

Dang, that made it nuclear.
Kept 10 chips, and flipped everything else on eBay. Cheapest AM3 upgrade ever (fileservers, folks' systems, etc.)

local store has an open box for $64. not going to be overclocking if i get it. i assume i should inspect in-store for bent pins and other obvious damage. anyone know if microcenter tests to make sure the thing works before reselling? would make a nice upgrade for video encoding from my x4@2.8.
