Annisman's 5th Giveaway, Intel E8400 3.0Ghz, WINNER ANNOUNCED

The winner of the CPU is PortableZoo.


UPDATE: Winner has contacted me!

Anyways, congrats and look for more future giveaways. - Annisman
















Gonna keep this giveaway short and sweet.

I wanted to do this over at Anandtech, but the mods shut me down for some reason or another.

Anyways, I am giving away an E8400 CPU, the clock speed is 3.0 Ghz, when I used to use it I had it OC'd up to 3.8Ghz.








All you have to do to enter is POST IN THIS THREAD

Tell me WHY YOU WANT THE CPU

and WHAT COMPUTER IT WILL GO IN (tell me the specs.)

Are you throwing it in your computer ? Your parents ? Your friend's ? Will it go in a new build ?

That's all you need to do to enter.

I Will pay the shipping for the CPU, but I will only ship to the USA and CANADA

Contest will go for a few days. Good luck. - Annisman

I've already got an e8400 and I'm in the UK so I won't bother entering , how many days are you thinking of running this for? If it's not going to be too long I will sticky it.

No worries mate.

I think it's cool that your sis is a gamer, she plays Mafia 2 ? Nice. My parents have a E2160, it's a nice chip....for surfing the internet lol. I have theirs OC'd to 2.4Ghz though, 1.8 Ghz is way too slow, even for an internet box. Well good luck evo.

Hey Annisman, thanks for letting me know you moved the thread over here!

I'd want to use the chip for this rig:

You can actually see how I was the modding the rig here, if you're into modding:

It's a custom modded water cooled rig that I did a couple years ago and am trying to put back together for my parents and bro before I head off to college. Currently, it has all the potential to get a very nice OC: Abit IP35 Pro mobo, Buffalo Firestix ram, Corsair 520 HX, and all the water cooling gear on a big 3x120 radiator that held temps at ~33C when I had the rig together. The parts are just sitting there, but I lack a nice CPU to get this good old boy running and overclocked again.

I'd slap this chip in, break your 3.8 OC , add 2 gigs of ram, and breathe some life into the rig. I think it'd be a nice personalized going away gift for my folks after all they've done for me.

Yeah, it chokes when she has more than 4 tabbed windows when using Firefox, she likes videogames and currently is playing Borderlands and my brother in law who uses her PC is playing Need for Speed Shift. She's not able to play Mafia 2 because its barely playable, it has many slow downs quite often. It even run faster on my girlfriend's PC which has an Athlon II X4 635 and a Radeon HD 3870. (While my sister has an HD 4870 1GB)

hi!
well i have been meaning to build a 775 copmuter, seeing that i have all the parts already...except the cpu.
specs:
intel mobo
2gb ram
sata dvdrw
300w psu
asus case
geforce 6800 ultra 512mb pci-e

this pc wouild be either my 2nd main pc or i would use it as my main pc and ditch the other one that i currently have as my main pc.

thanks for the oppurtunity.

Sounds like a solid plan, if you don't win, would you be interested in a spare E2160 I have lying around ? It's not a great chip, but it would at least let you finish your build.

Well in that case, leave me in the running!

Hi it is so good that you are doing this contest! thanks bro
i will put it in a computer that I have lying around with no cpu in it!

it used to have a q6600 but i took it out and built a new pc

the specs are
4gb ddr2 667 ram, an 8600 gt, and a g33 motherboard - it was originally an acer OEM computer with a q6600.
ill probably give the pc to my parents because they deserve it, or my little bro because his computer sucks lol

thank you!

-Gigabyte p35-DS3L
-Intel e4500 OC'd to 2.75 ghz
-4 gig OCZ reaper ddr2 (The heatsinks just look so cool)
-500 gig WD Caviar Black
-8800gt (my new MSI gtx 460 1 gig should be arriving tuesday!)

---This is why you should send me the e8400---

I have my BA in law, MA in math education, 3 years work experience as a lowly substitute (helping special education high school students and making junk pay), and can't get a teaching job for the life of me. The market is RIDICULOUSLY flooded on Long Island. Not only that, I can't get a job in ANY field here. I can do matrix calculus (yes it's a real topic), yet I can't get a job that pays even $12/hour.

I'm almost 26 and still live in my parent's attic. I've spent every dime on school (grad school was a fortune and I paid out of pocket). In order to pay rent, I've had to basically become my parent's butler. I'm not allowed to bring girls back to the house either, even though my luck with the ladies has been abysmal lately.

I just want the processor to unleash the potential of my new gtx 460 (the e4500 is showing it's age). I'd much rather be asking for a teaching job or girlfriend, but the processor would more than make my day. I need to have 60fps in WoW to continue to stay top DPS in my guild too. So yeah, I'm not asking for it to do folding@home or some noble cause, just selfish endeavors.

that's will help me from my problem annisman...
I've got a P4 3G.

I would probably make a spare rig for myself or for my roommate to use

my specs for my rig

Antec 902
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L
E8400 C1 @ 3.6
Hyper 212+
6 gig DDR2 800
XFX 5850 Black Edition

probably build something similar but with a 5770

Wooo, good luck everybody (Crossing fingers)

meh wth, just sold my E8500, might as well put in a bid for another E8XXX

G31TM-P21
2GB DDR2 800 Kingston
Generic Case
Generic Psu

Have an e5200 now wouldnt mind an upgrade : )

What do you mean ?

Random as in one entrty per person who joins, not how many posts they have ; )

I'd be able to replace my E4500 so that my XFX5770 could stretch it's legs better without being hindered by my processor. Being able to run windows virtualization would be nice and perhaps no more lag during raids due to a weak cpu.

It would go into my current computer that has served me well for 3 years.
Antec 300
E4500 o/c@2.4ghz
Gigabyte 945gcm

I'll add you in the draw.... LOL

I would like to enter into this giveaway.
