WHAT THE HELL? got me a retail cel2 and I DIDNT GET STICKER!!!

[MustangSVT]

what gives? i thought i was supposed to get a 3d sticker or something to put on front of my pc. i got cel 633. havent put it in yet. wish me luck ppl. here i go..

 

[paulip88]

You can buy them from Directron. Why do you want one so bad anyway? You proud that you bought a Celeron? j/k!@

 

[MustangSVT]

i never bought a retail cpu before so i just wanted to see the sticker. i thought they were in every retail cpu box? well im happy.. why? CHECK MY SIG!! my cel 633 is running happy at 950!!!! with the retail intel heatsink&fan !!! WOW WOW!!! love it!!!

i tried it on 1.65 and 1.7 v but it would freeze during boot up into windows. but with 1.75V it is stable as ROCK so far. well well i am proud that i did buy celeron. Good thing i bought BH6 with cel 300a 2 years ago. It was top performer back then and lasted so far. And now i have another fast computer (well i guess kinda fast hehe) with just cpu upgrade.

I LOVE IT!!!! wooohoooooooooooo...

sorry.. im too sleepy and im going nutz.. but its really nice to see it at 950. (especailly with stock heatsink and no name slocket)

it's in with the manuals packet

 

[Sunny129]

well i got a P3 and the manuals werent wrapped in plastic or anything. i found the sticker floating around in the box by itself. if it definitely isnt in there, you might consider the idea that someone had it before you, sealed the box after opening it, and returned it claiming it was never opened. and they forgot to put the sticker back, or couldnt b/c they already peeled the back off. just an idea...its easy to seal a box back up, and retailers cant check to see if its been opened, b/c once they open it, it cant be resold again as a new item.

More proof, of Intel's evil ways!

I'm not too fond of Intel's marketing strategies, but I've got to say I love their Celerons now! The 600+@900+ is a pretty nice bargain for all of us with BX boards!

 

[beat mania]

no sticker = not a real retail cpu. you got screwed.

 

[MustangSVT]

i got screwed? (according to beat-mania) lol i would say i probably did not. my cely runs at 950! rock solid with stock heatsink and 1.75 V (ill run it at 950 for awhile until i kick it up a notch). And thanx for the idea.. i looked carefully thru the handbook and FOUND THE STICKER! i was expecting somethign bigger and it was so tiny i missed it. Well so now ive got my sticker and my cely 633 is running happly at 950! great deal for me!! have a nice holiday guys!!!.

 

[Sunny129]

lol...Mustang, great to hear the good news personally, if i had a celery 633 running @ 950 w/ rock sloid stability, i could give a sh!t about a missing sticker

 

[Dexion]

LOL I could sell ya my P3 sticker(still haven't used it) for $1!

 

[Sunny129]

plus $11 for shipping and handling

 

[Dexion]

nah! A sticker ain't worth 1st day shipping I'll just use regular postal in an envelope. (probably take 3 weeks for this time of year).

 

[Sunny129]

definitely not worth next day shipping...i was kinda making a joke about the fact that you could just throw it in an envelop and send it. at least i hope you werent at one point cinsidering sending it in a package that would cast money to ship...

 

[MustangSVT]

hmmm.. if i put a P3 sticker on my case and write 2 Ghz next to it, maybe it'll be must faster.

Ill add air damps on the front and lower the case by cutting the rubber on the bottom to reduce air drag. And i'll steal Type-R from some integra and put it on the case to make it faster.

Lets not foget about V-Tec patch and i'll also have to write GeForce2 Ultra on my radeon to run Hella fast..


wait wait.. im no rice boi. hehe

I am with you, Mustang SVT. I have a Celeron 600 @ 900 and I think it is great! And yes, my sticker was tucked away in the manual as well. Although, I must admit, the Intel sticker is not nearly as nice as the MSI sticker that came with my new MSI-6309 motherboard. It is way cool
