Who cares about the E4300 any more? (kidding) The E4400 is up for $159. And the E6320 and E6420 have finally arrived for only $4 each more than the E6300 and E6400...

im getting an e4300.................

that is, if the WD SE16 that I ordered doesnt revive my DEADBOX

know of any good deals for the P180? There was one at Frys that ended yesterday for 120 minus 40 MIR, Free Shipping.

At the egg, after shipping and Rebate its like 123. Not Cool.

Whelp... my dad's enjoying his E4300 atm.

We did get ours for 133.90. :lol: . o O (OEM though)

Not that he needs it to be OC, but might try to get it at E6600 speed. :wink:

Yes..

It should drop to $113.

I would have waited some what longer... but :oops:

I was sorta eager, and parts I had delivered were about 3 weeks old. So I wanted to be sure I didn't get anything that was DOA.

And there were so many times, I'd check on certain parts, and when I was ready to purchase it, it was either out of stock, or the price jumped instead of dropping. :lol:

Anyone have any idea when THG is going to post a cpu review for the new chips? I'd have expected them to do it before the launch. They usually get advanced samples. I want to see some OC attempts with the e4400 and e6420. :D

Really don't waste your money on the e4400... If your budget constrains you to that chip save the extra 20 bucs and get the e4300 I have one and I can tell you that it is not FSB limited, like say the e6300...

Clarification,

e4300= 200fsbx9miltiplier
e4400= 200fsbx10multiplier

I can achieve upto 3.2 ghz @ vCORE 1.4 whether the multi is 9x356 or 8x400 fsb makes no difference. So if you are budget limited and only using stock/cheap aftermarket air cooler there is not point in gettting the e4400. I mean the with the 4300 @ fsb333 mem div 1:1 you have a 3ghz c2d and ddr2 667 mem, 4400 @ fsb300 mem div 1:1 same thing 3 ghz c2d and only ddr2 600 mem. To me it seems a no brainer... unless paired with a crappy board that has no oc'n ability I would then bsel mod the e4400 and get the fsb to 266 so you can have 2.66 ghz c2d thats just me tho.

PS my e4300 @ 3.2ghz does 17.1 sec superPI 1m times, not that crappy IMO :twisted:

Anyone want an E6400 that will do 3.5ghz dual prime stable for over 24hrs at just 1.38vc? :wink:

If you are serious...PM me :D I'm looking for a new CPU and was going to be E4400 or E6420 but a nice price could change my mind...

Zipzoomfly has the E6600 for 235.00 8O 8)
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80860

NewEgg is always slow to drop prices.
why buy the E4300

You want to know why?

Easy, the E4300 IHS is barely glued on and the E6600 IHS is soldered on. Result? I can take off the E4300 IHS with a 20-30x higher probability of success. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Uhhh...why does it say your chip is retired?
Click to expand...

Because I torture tested my IFCX3200 mobo and it gave out. I was running >2v on NB PLL, NB Core and over 1.6-1.7v on CPU VTT and convert from voltage was 2.3v I think. The NB got hotter than hell.

I figured the board would die... but that is why they made warranties. Replacement on the way, so retired setup not fried setup.

So the board died not the CPU. :wink:

IHS?
Click to expand...

Integrated Heat Spreader

it is about 1/8" thick and its the silver thing on top of a processor. It accounts for at least 2/3 the weight of a proc and increases thermal resistance but protects the core from cracking during installation.
