Fry's B&M Phoenix - Phenom II X4 955 BLK & MSI NF750-G55 $169 AR

[Aknosis]

Found in Sunday's paper today, I cannot find any online versions of the ad but I will include the fine print:

This is about $199 with tax and there is a $15 rebate for the motherboard. I called this morning about 10a and they said the had 10 in stock. So the have at most 9 now , Tempe location. (1 per customer, No rainchecks)

The retail for these is about $265 so it is quite a steal (even before rebate)! My receipt says the chip was $113 and the Mobo was $71.

They also have a deal for the 955 with a MSI 790X-G45 but it was $220 before rebate I believe.

It appears to be a C2 HDZ955FBK4DGI (c3 is HDX) for those what care. Could be YMMV, last time they had a deal on 965 people were getting both c2 and c3.

is the MSI 790X-G45 combo worth the price difference? I currently don't own a 3D card and would like to use the onboard video.

You guys are so lucky to have Frys in your area.

The NF750 has on board video and even HDMI if you wanted to do a htpc... Have no idea on the quality though.

Yea! I think we need a seperate B&M Category so I don't have to get bummed each and every day. YES, it's all about ME!
The only B&M within 5 hours is Staples.

I, too, jumped on this deal.

FYI, I also got the C3 stepping.

Only downside is it doesn't like to boot cold. After leaving system off over night system will BSOD _until_ 1) System warms up and 2) I turn off
power at the power supply, wait 20-30 seconds and then restart. Runs fine after that

I also got c3 stepping!

 

[konakona]

ahh you guys are lucky
I was grateful enough to find the few remaining C2s... I even called up another store to see if they had any C3s (had to go by the part #, maybe they just didn't update?).

Well it's sitting in my secondary box and doing 3.8/2.8 at ok temps, good enough by my standards

I had absolutely no need for one of these but still got it!
