Free CPU!

The best OC board for 775 is a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P.You can still find them around for a fair price

 

[Alaric]

The chip was lost in storage for a long time. Today, while sorting through crap I found the box with the foam and thought "Could it be?". It could, and is. Now I have the chip and no real use for it. Technically I can't sell it because it's an ES, and I'm pretty sure that's against the rules in the Classifieds....

Man, 5years old thread and 10 years old CPU !!!

Sexy one though

I have a DFI lanparty, x38 board "if" you still have the chip.............

Took me awhile to find it. LOL I thought it was lost or stolen (I have some s****y ex in laws). Just found it again today. The person I got it from is friends with an Intel engineer. He ran it in his daily rig stock for a while until his mobo died. It is supposed to be completely unlocked. I never used it because finding a 140 watt socket 775 mobo proved a pain in the butt. It's free to a good home at this point. I'd just like to see some numbers on it from someone. It's pretty old, but I'd still hate to see it in the trash.

I have the hardware should you like to send it somewhere where it won't be wasted.

Have it sitting next to me as I type.

You guys want to work this out? LOL I may be leaning towards Mr.Scott since I haven't seen him mention a lot of new toys lately, but CD was first to post. I didn't expect this much interest. I was told the chip is good, but I haven't verified that, so it is definitely free.

I forgot about this thread.

I'll throw my own hat in the ring if it's being given away, spent 3-4 years looking for a Q9550, Q9650 or QX9650 but never could find one at a reasonable price (or they were gone before I found them). My EP45-UD3P probably is getting lonely with nothing to bench.

Don't know why you couldn't find a board to run it with... I thought they were fairly plentiful, especially with people upgrading old 775 rigs these past few years.

Edit: based upon the specs (3.16GHz quad-core) this doesn't appear to be a 3GHz QX9650, it's positioned between that chip and the 3.2GHz QX9770/QX9775. Doesn't seem to have a consumer-grade equivalent processor to compare to. Interesting...

Nah, Wade was first. I'm good with that.

 

[caddi daddi]

140w???? mr scott's the man.

 

[trents]

If it's free I'll take it! Dibbs.

 

[Joe88]

I guess im at the end if everybody else is out
Conveniently 'm running a c2d e7300 with a p45 ud3p right now.

 

[Alaric]

140w???? mr scott's the man.

I believe it was a 130 watt chip, which will take upwards of that for OC. At the time 140+ watt 775 boards were out of my budget.

If CD is conceding, Mr.Scott has first dibs. PM to follow.

 

[Vishera]

Man I could have some fun with that baby. Probably best if someone else nabs it though, in all honestly I shouldn't be wasting time on a new toy right now.

 

[Mr.Scott]

Just happen to have a REX sitting here.

 

[Pierre3400]

Holy batman of old threads to get new life.

Package sent.
