*SOLD* Anyone interested in a Q9550 cpu? :)
« on: August 12, 2010, 05:41:33 pm »

Runs dwarf fortress crazy well, hehe. I kinda want to upgrade my laptop and I don't use my tower much anymore. Been running the CPU at 3.4ghz with a 1600mhz fsb /below/ stock voltage for about a year with no issues. The cpu has 12MB of cache and all. Its a monster chip, about the fastest of the Core 2 chips and, overclocked, keeps up with the lower end i7s like the i7-920 pretty nicely. It will run at 4-4.5ghz on air. I just never wished to stress my $300 cpu that much :p My system with a 9800gtx video card, four 1tb hdds and 4gb ddr3-1600 idled at 90-100w and peaked around 250w. The chip isn't very power hungry.

I think I still have the retail box and I can sell it with my megahalems rev b cooler. Asking $250 for the pair or make me a reasonable offer.

yeah, that is no problem. Just send me a private message when you are ready. I can send you some pics of the chip and cooler when I get back home in a few days.

If you want some added security that I'm not gonna run off with your money, I can put it on eBay. This is my user - http://myworld.ebay.com/ressedue

I have great feedback :p
