Considering this CPU is $67.99 (retail) at newegg, MC looks like they are unloading these CPUs. Budget overclockers rejoice!

 

[hans007]

well the newegg price is kind of ridiculous honestly. why would nayone buy it for that when an e5200 cost $2 more.

Hrmm, I want to pair this with a Gigabyte GA-965P DS3 rev. 1.

Yay or nay? Seems like a cheap enough chip.

Edit: eh, wish they had in-store pickup

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Its a decent chip. I remember reading reviews that it went toe to toe with the athlon x2 4600+. Overclocking makes this chip shine.

Nice price and the OC potential on these makes it a good find too.

Yes! I have a 2180 running on mine at 3ghz no problem.

Not quite as good a deal as it seems.
Newegg has it for 67.99 with free shipping but Newegg has the retail version with hsf.
Microcenter has it for 39.99 plus 5.99 standard shipping without the hsf.
If you planned on going aftermarket hsf, then its a very good deal.
Otherwise its not so great.

Can anyone suggest a good cheap mobo for this? At Microcenter or newegg

Yes actually, this one. It can still be found around for $55 or so, at MC for that matter.....

There are actually a couple of nice cheap recommendations in that thread, including this one: Asus P5KPL-CM

OOS for me.

I think it's only available online.

This looks like a perfect mobo for under $60 shipped: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813128357

It's actually the highest rated Intel board on Newegg. I don't know why it's so cheap..

 

[jjpmann]

just got a canceled order email. Looks like they might be out of stock now

 

[superHARD]

Still online

This makes a killer Hackintosh board as well - everything works OOTB! Just throw in a 7200GS for $25 and you've got a great 1080p rig with Plex:
