I just got a 3570K with a Asus Pro. THANKS to you guys. Otherwise I wouldn't have known about this

What's a good board for this chip?

The ASRock has pretty good reviews but I had soso luck with them in the past. (Had to RMA the board in my current rig randomly).

 

[darkxshade]

I did notice a lot of people mention the Asrock... I may go with that

It appears you can get the combos online from the web store atm:

I don't see a combo price in your cart, or are you just talking about if you would have chosen another board and you just happened not to want one of the others?

LOL, I noticed that as well and was able to checkout. Only $6.98 for shipping. Sounds too good to be true though. I ordered the Gigabyte UD5H board for only $139 which is supposed to be the after rebate price. Waiting for my cancellation e-mail But if it is true, their site is about to get hammered.

I just got the 2600k deal with the lame UD3H board a couple weeks ago and already activated Win 7 on that build. Good thing I have one more Win 7 license just in case

Rebate? That board has an instant savings as far as I see in the ad?

I can't see where to order for in store pickup?

I'm getting a

1. Removed items that are inactive or no longer valid.

Did they sell out or something? Tried adding both the 3570 and the 3770

Just ordered the 3570k with the sabertooth board, no confirmation email yet.

Edit: Just got a confirmation email saying that they hope to ship by 5/2/12, I hope so! Side note, the sabertooth board with a processor is $199 not $189 as listed in the add for some reason.

I see the Asrock extreme4 with a combo price if you wanted that one for 89.99.

They caught there mistake

I went with the Asrock Z77 Extreme 4. Has decent power delivery and excellent features. Actually got to play with one the other day when a buddy of mine put together a new rig, and it seemed nice. Was my first experience with UEFI.

@Don Karnage - Damn, I had kind of figured it was a mistake they were offering these deals online. Glad I ordered earlier this morning and got a confirmation, hopefully I'm still in the clear.

Yeah, the site is messed up. It offers the SB processors for in store pickup and the other two say nothing about in store only, yet when you add them it says "Removed items that are inactive or no longer valid."

I had it in my cart earlier then it looks like it got cancelled. Pretty unprofessional. And I know see the other posters price was a combo price, but it said nothing about a combo price for that model when looking at the Z77 MB list. What a mess.

 

[aman74]

Yeah, but it looks like they also blocked the in store pickup option as well. Probably accidentally when they freaked out that they were available online.

The combos work for the Asrock boards with the 2500k, has that always been that way or is that still a "hot deal".

They also don't even have the Asus LX model listed that's in their ad.

Nor the UD5H now that I looked.

 

[ARosch]

Well my order did go through online at those prices, I hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Ouch. Crazy deal there if you aren't too picky. I picked up the 3820 last week and they didn't have many X79 mobos or decent RAM. Priming right now at 4.625 at 1.337v Ya Rly.

You know you can activate a Windows 7 license on several computers right?

Not legally.

If it is a retail copy, then you can re-activate on a different computer (but will have to call for activation), AS LONG AS YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE FIRST COMPUTER.

I upgraded the motherboard/CPU yesterday and had to do a online reactivation. I think I got 1 activation on XP before I had to call and get a new code. I didn't remove it but I think that is slightly different as it is the same user and was on the same SSD.
