Post by: xJaPx on Tue, 06 March 2012, 12:18:55

Payed $191.42 with taxes, asking $195 shipped - seems fair.  Will post pictures if necesary.  Any questions feel free to ask, thanks!

This is a CPU!, not a warm light at 2500 degrees kelvin for light balancing!  haha

What is a 2500k?  That would be an extremely warm light to color balance for!  ;-p

Great price period.

This CPU is about the best you can buy for the money right now. A sub-$200 quad core CPU that overclocks easily to 4.2 ghz with air cooling is an absolute steal.
I wish I were doing another build, because then I would have an excuse to buy this :tongue1:. GLWS daxxjapxx.

I'm betting on the realization that Ivy Bridge is just around the corner.

If this (http://news.techeye.net/chips/ivy-bridge-to-launch-april-29th) has any truth to it, perhaps you may be right.

Still, 2500k is a fine CPU. For all your gaymers, that is the most processing power you will ever need to power your GTX 580s and 7950s.

Only reason I'm contemplating going to a 2500k right now is because getting a decent replacement board for my HTPC's e6750 is enough of a percentage that I could just upgrade my main to 2500k and swap my current mobo into the HTPC (for the 2nd time).  Depending on how long I can live without the HTPC it may end up being IB... $$ depending... :)
