Retail E7200 $80 at Fry's

Couldn't resist and had to grab one. Got a cheap In Win HTPC case, 4GB of RAM, WD 640GB, Foxconn G31 mATX board, and DVD-RW for $360 AR. Add in the double slot 9600 GSO I got for $36 AR and that's one heck of a HTPC for less than $400.
 
Ugh. Spent 8 minutes trying to call to see if they had this in stock, never got through, so I stopped there.

Yes, they do have it in stock, but it was $120. The link in the OP is apparently dead. Poo. Sad I missed this. (And I hate Frys).
 
Mine says predicted delivery is today, but it also say it is still in Ohio and i am in Virginia ???

Looks like i won't be getting it today.
 
Mine showed up at noon today, surprise surprise. gonna be a hella upgrade at 3+ghz over my E6300 at stock clocks, should make my $67.00 9600GT SSC really stretch its legs out.
 
Thanks OP, I bit on this deal too. Was going to wait to see if/when MicroCenter would get the E5200, but for $80 I could not pass it up. Also picked up an 8GB microSD card for $20 as well. Mine arrived today too, shipped from Ohio. Same batch and spec, now just waiting for the backing plate for the Vendetta 2 so I don't have to mess with those damn pushpins again.
 
Just did some initial testing. mine is VID 1.215 so I'd say I was bit disappointed. But any how, let's move on, set IP35E BIOS to 1.325v and bump FSB to 380. 3.6Ghz just like that. ran a round (5pass) of Linpack seems stable. WIll do more burn test tomorrow.

3.6Ghz @ 1.325v BIOS / 1.312v CPUZ
VID = 1.215
power = 70W idle, 125W loaded
temp = 28C idle, 60C linkpack (Vendetta 2 cooler)

to compare, my E2160 running 2.7Ghz@1.325v = 66W idle // 112W load. same exact setup.

I'm not going to overclock , so it doesn't matter to me if mines good for overclocking.

Haha yeah now I see...I was up past my bed time.
 
Got my backing plate today and have the E7200 installed. My VID is 1.15. Running Orthos now at 3325, have vcore at 1.19 in Bios, Speedfan says 1.12. Seems I have more vdroop with this chip compared to my E2160.
