E8400 + Biostar G31-M7 TE - $140 @ Fry's

[SuperMotarded]

Picked one up this morning. I know for a fact its for LA and SJ, may want to check other areas.

Combo is the 139.99 one, and they had at least 15 non returned boards in stock at the one in Anaheim.

This is with my spare UD3P, not the combo board.



Haven't tried lowering the voltage yet and I'm pretty sure my ram is towards its limit, but I don't think 4Ghz stable on air is a bad place to start... I figure I can throw a P4D in the board that came with it and make the E8400 that much cheaper.

Headline from 2011 - Fry's exec finds new source for bribes and embezzlement - Biostar rather than ECS! lol

They're still selling C0's?

You guys might want to pick through some boxes if Fry's allows to try and score an E0.

Is there a problem with the C0s? I'm asking because I have no idea, not trying to be defensive or anything. As far as I can tell 4Ghz @ 1.3v seems to be a decent clock...



Havent tried go any lower than 1.3v, temps are cool enough there and I'm tired of restarting haha.

No problem per se. In general the E0's can clock higher and run cooler, but there are plenty of exceptions.
