This picture isn't large or anything, but whenever you quote large pics just to say things like "oh yay", it takes up bandwidth. The pic extra pic is not needed, especially when the same one is right above it.

While it's annoying to have large quoted images, it doesn't take up extra bandwidth. On the first download of the image from the start of the page, your browser simply re-uses the cached version for the second/third/fourth/etc. copies of it on the page.

I'm dissapointed that the 920 isn't $220 like their cheapest enthusiast cpu usually is on release.

You're getting all you processors wrong :p:. That's why I bolded the "s".

Well I'm still waiting for this to come out to jump on it, but it seems there's no info on this anywhere.

Does anyone know when these drops will roll up here to Canada? I'd love to get a damn 9650 for $317 (before conversion, naturally)

According to DigiTimes, the s-models are for the SFF and all-in-one PC builders, such as Apple, HP and Dell.

With time we might get lucky and receive the leftovers.

I can't link directly to the article over at DT, but this article posted @ MaximumPC links to DT (click "launch").

Trying to confirm some rumors and observations of my own here, can people here that just got these new cheap Q9650 (small white/blue box) confirm if they have any stuck sensors and the respective VIDs?

Glad to hear Im not alone my 4th core is froze @ 38'c till the processor advances higher wont drop below, but Im not so worried usually the 4 core is the same or a degree off the 3rd core

Vid = 1.16v

Thanks AMD :) I was so close to turning over to AMD but Intel leaked these price drops just before I made the move :( ..
Don't be fooled though, these chip manufacturers are no different from the auto or any industry theyre all in cahoots together they take turns :yepp:
AMD will miraculously have some major breakthrough in the next 6-12 months and they will spend the next 2-4 years on top again.... They need each other :yepp:

Thats VID is on CoreTemp 99.4 with EIST, C1 etc disabled? Where did it ship from (Newegg)? And batch number would help also!

The 2 stuck cores didn't OC at all so thats why I asking people here.

C1 and all else is disabled, Shipped from Mwave, Batch # L827A945

Considered RMA'n but it didnt seem to be that Big a deal ? Is it?? Think they'd replace it? Hate going back to 6600 till they replace?? Do you think its worth it?

With that kind of VID and only 1 stuck sensors I wouldn't mind :up:

problem is when you have 2 or more stuck sensors and high vid...

yeah I was quite pleased with my vid as well... Thats what I figured .. You've got 2 stuck sensors? Whats your vid ?. I've often wondered if my quick approach to overclocking it was part of the sensor freeze???:shrug:

No I think I'm doing fine with mine: :rofl:

I'm testing and comparing new Q9650 with the old ones because I want to get a couple of the new ones myself.

Yes very much so indeed... Iv'e got this this running rock stable @ 3.85 stable on air @ 1.23v but haven't been able to get it really stable stable above that, dont get me wrong I hit 4.2 ghz was able to run 3dmark06 and get a 24k score but was not able to successfully complete 1 hour of occt .. even at 4.0 ghz and able to complete occt my 3dm06 score dropped and occt seconds paused then jumped down 5-8 seconds at a time was weird need to increase the voltage more I suppose... Waiting to get my asus board back as this gigabyte doesn't offer as many options as far as oc'ing goes in the bios... though my asus formiula maximus had a ton of problems and wasnt able to even run stable @ stock settings so I RMA'd it .. I should get it back week after next Im hoping :)
