Pretty close to the same price (because of free shipping) and you don't have to use google checkout. Its an option if you don't want to use google checkout

My shipping was $11 and change making the grand total was a few bucks less than I could find it anywhere else... besides, do you see new egg or zzf posting here? I'd pay $10 more for that kind of customer service.

Direct quote from FedEx too, we don't mark it up at all ($0.50 to cover packing materials).

 

[Jeeebus]

I'm still torn between the e8400 and a quad core for my new (mostly) gaming rig. causing a huge headache.

 

[ibex333]

I wonder how is it that these are already being sold on e-bay brand new for $210 flat...

 

[htne]

Hmmmm.... Newegg is now at $219.99, free 3-day shipping.

 

[kaxx]

If your gaming, just get the dual core E8400. If your doing a lot of CPU intensive work such as video editing, then get the Quad.

That's the price they've been since last week.

you mean the Q9450 ?
Give it another month...

 

[SirSnipe]

I just ordered one from them, hopefully they still got some stock, 208$ shipped for an E8400 seems pretty good to me.

 

[TankGuys]

We do. About 30 left or so right now, I'd guess. Selling really fast the last few days since lots of other places are OOS now.

e8400 temp diode prob
http://csd.dficlub.org/forum/s....php?p=40179#post40179

Iand, ntel is supposedly holding back mass ship of 45nm to allow dealers to dump 65nm

 

[NitroTurtle]

Figures.. I just ordered my E8400 from TankGuys. So, should I cancel/return it? What are my options at this point?

Intel is also supposedly holding back mass ship of 45nm to allow dealers to dump 65nm

That post is pretty incoherent. It says he swapped it out and is getting 38/36C at idle (4.0GHz) and 47/52C load temperatures. Does that mean that only some batches are having issues with the temperature sensor?

They work just fine, just some dont give correct temp reading with various softwares
iIts practically impossible to smoke an intel core2duo - espec the 45nm
Personally, I really could care less, and I dont know if I have one with a "defective" temp diode, since I am waiting for the X48 boards.
If you like READ the whole article thingy, some work after a certain temp is achieved, some dont work at all - keep temp at one setting.
No biggie, tho once this info gets around the poor dealers will be getting RMA's up the ying yang - heh.

Of course you could always just WAIT a few weeks
