it seems good, and with a TT fan

Seems like a good deal for $126-129, depending on the day of the week. I have read about the CBBID not having good o/c but the poster above proves otherwise. ay have to get this now because RA prices have come down just in time for a new PC or HTPC build. Thanks OP

ugh I know... you don't need to tell me I do this stuff daily.. I already know my max cpu... compared to my cbbhd 0444upaw this has nothing since mines able to do about 2.7ghz on water thank you very much.

Wow $10 price drop within a day. I guess with the new rev. E coming out, prices will begin to drop even further. To bad the price of the 3200 doesn't drop as often as the 3000.

Feel great not to pay tax(Lives in California), 119$ what a Bargain!

I like the free games with the combo. But have no use for the mobo offerings. Which motherboard has the best resale value? With making a savings on not having to buy the games.

How much do you figure the games are worth? I am thinking about either the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe or the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI and I do not care much about the games right now. Just thinking about the SLI option to "future proof" the system.

just ordered Athlon 64 3200 939 Winchester Retial with the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, came up to $362 and free shipping. not a bad deal

 

[Anonemous]

sooo hard to resist... 119$ for a 939 chip arghhhhh

 

[Avalon]

Really freaking hot.

 

[MrC4]

Great price! If I didn't already have a 3200+ 939 I would pick this up!!

 

[Bad Dude]

Probably low overclockability.

 

[mrrman]

great deal, just bought 2 of them....thanks

 

[MrC4]

Probably low overclockability

Why is that? You should have the same odds of overclocking these as any other 3000+s out there.

 

[caboob]

looks like their blowing out old stock to clear space for the new Venice cored CPUs. WOOT!

 

[AmphibSailor]

I'm in there. Haven't upgraded my CPU/Motherboard combo for about a year and a half. $119...I can afford. Have to find a good cheap mobo to put it in, now.

 

[user1234]

Most nforce4 mobos have very good performance and great overclocking features. Some of them are also quite cheap. I hear the Chaintech VNF4 is good and also the Gigabyte atre cheap and good. For micro ATX, I recommend the FoxConn NF4K8MC-ERS ($79) which has good performance and can even overclock a little (I got 15% overclock using it).

with all the money you spend buying dozens of cheap winchesters, can't you just buy the top of the line fx-55 and have the best perfomance once and for all without having to spend so much time and effort finding the best overclocking chips ?

 

[user1234]

if you're building a new rig and buying cpu+mobo and also a video card like 6800GT (Monarch has good prices on them) and other parts like memory, then you may want to know that if you spend more than $800 and pay with american express card, you get 10% off. So especially if you're doing sli (2 video cards) you will probably reach tham limit. See this thread for details.

 

[Joony]

[deepinya]

:laugh:

 

[trevor2k]

I was looking at these when they were 119, but when I tried the CPU/Mobo combo pricing (with HL2, FC, etc) it showed $129 for the processor.

 

[HaVoC]

trevor2k, noticed the same thing. I emailed Monarch sales through their online form but haven't heard anything back. I want the combo deal but it's supposed to be the same price as the stand-alone OEM processor!
