itsb1again

I have been searching around and trying to find somewhere that is currently stocking the new 965 BE C3 Stepping 125 W -- Has anyone else had any luck?

HDZ965FBK4DGM (“M” indicates new revision)

I have also been looking for it, no luck here either, I'll let you know if I find anything. I'm guessing they are trying to exhaust the 140W inventory first.

Amazon showing it's 965s are 125W. Good price too!

I'll get this in a week or so. Do me a favor, if you plan to OC share your result, I would love to see them.

Did AMD confirm a release date on this CPU? That may be the problem. For now, you only have the 140W at most retailers... I'll have to Google the 125W 965 release date, and maybe that'll give you the answer you're looking for.

Oh I plan on it. But as of now i'm using a Generic WC setup. So i'm switching my CPU block, also changing to a 3x radiator... I don't remember the mm size i'm sorry but it's the size of 3 120 mm fans. Anyways, that's the main reason i'm buying, is for the oc ability. I may also have to wait another week to buy this.

You will be the first to know when i get it.

I dunno, I was going off of G3D... W/ their review.

Well, according to posters at the OC Forums, it seems like there's been a delay in the release date: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?p=6282636

As far as I know it is 4th of November, at least that's what local stores say and NDA also expires that day

Many are hoping to see the C3 revision before x-mas but AMD states Q2 2010

A couple of posts that may give an idea of what I saw would've been the case.

It's out, there are a few stores selling it. http://www.google.com/products?oe=&q...+buy&scoring=p
Amazon is by far the cheapest.

Well then why doesn't Newegg have them? They usually get this stuff far before anyone else that I know of. They definitely should've had them far before Amazon did.

itsb1again · 11-06-2009, 18:21 | posts: 420 | Location: Florida | User is Offline

Everything is out of stock besides Amazon? sounds strange.

Well they buy in bulk, that's why you can get such great prices there. Problem with that is they want to turnover old stock. The only way to do it is either sell their stock by lowering prices on old stock, sell new stock at higher prices, or don't offer new stock until the old stock is depleted. Maybe they are going with the later, seems thats what Tiger Direct does.

Yeah it does, I'd contact them to verify if it's the C3 revision. I am going to. I'll keep you posted.

I have a feeling that whoever added that on Amazon could've had a made a typo.

They are showing they stock 2 different versions of the 965(see first post). It's getting confusing, seems info is mismatched? Headache ensues.

Update: Researched the different part numbers for the 965 & I'm getting mixed information.. The major tech sites don't have it. I think there is alot of incorrect info out there. Just ignore the Amazon site links, I checked different sites using the two part numbers listed on Amazon & some show them as 125W & some 140W. Makes no sense.

Do you guys think I can buy it off of the Canadian site? or will it not send???

Just spoke with Newegg customer service and they said that the U.S. site accepts payments and ships within the U.S. And the same goes for the Canadian website.

THIS IS NOT FAIR IN THE SLIGHTEST.
