XS Group Purchase - EP45 UD3 Series (DDR2&DDR3) MIPS Freezer Set!

Update from MIPS: Final Price will be US$ 185 for the 4 blocks Kit or US$ 141 for 3 blocks (NB, M1 and M2) (if dollar doesn't lose more ground) + shipping US$ 28 divided by the number of buyers (4 so far). I will be ordering next week (around Xmas day) so I will send PM for people that have their name in the list to confirm quantity.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys,

I have the same problem now with this UD3 then I had in February with my DFI. I simple can't find any retailers to send me the complete mobo block set.

And also there is NO manufacturer planning to have all the blocks for the UD3 (NB, PWM1, PWM2, SB) besides MIPS.

I have done this Group Purchase before with 100% success just look here:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/...d.php?t=182949

The process is simple I will organize a list of how many people are interested, then will contact http://www.mips-computer.de/ to ask if any discounts are applied.

Then I will organize the final list with the total price including shipping (that will be divided by the total number of buyers). I will give a deadline for the transfers to arrive in my account, after receiving the Paypal transfers I'll make one single payment to MIPS and they send the blocks to my address. Who didn't make the due date won't be included on the purchase and Payment will be reimbursed. I can only accept Paypal as it is much safer for me and for you guys.

Once the kits arrive at my house I will re-ship to each one that send the Paypal payment.

I can ship internationally to if anyone outside US is interested.

All the transactions and receipts will be open to the public to see.

Here's a shot of the kit (134,90 EUR + shipping to USA):

PM sent! Now we have two!

I will order soon enough so if people are still thinking better decide quick, the less the better I think :up:

You can count me in on the list. Unfortunately I found out about the DFI group buy two weeks too late, and I'm not going to miss this one. The DFI buy was the best managed group buy I've ever seen, and completely trust you to handle it well. Hopefully there's enough demand to get any type of discount being as though people might be broke during XMAS or upgrading to Core i7 (not worth it for my needs). Thanks for initiating this. Around $200 is a great deal anyway for quality mips products.

Thank you for the compliments! I think it's an excellent deal too because I spent almost half of that in 1 mosfet block!

Another name added to the list. :up:

I'm in as per our PM.

Those are gorgeous blocks!

Wait...

is this the same board bei won at that gigabyte competition?

Becuase if it is..

He's suposed to be betting one and have blocks possibly made.... MAYBE..

Ok guys I'm waiting on MIPS response about discount (if any) for a total number of 10 Freezer Sets also they will give me the final shipping quote so I can set the final price for the set plus shipping.

I just received an email from MIPS :D

If we reach 10+ blocks they can give us discounts that would be around 5 EUR per block. So lets see if we can talk to friends to join in so we can reach that quota. If not we will order for the normal price (that isn't that much higher).

I just need till Friday then we can get ready to order.

Here's the email:
hello,
many thanks for your request.
if you order 10+ sets you could get the gigabyte freezer set for euro 130,00
instead of 134,90.
the r2e sets are actually not in shop and we will offer 2 different sets, one
with our new dual-chip freezer and one with seperate freezers for nb & sb.
the set with the dual-chip freezer and 2 mosfets would cost 136,90
and the set with 4 freezers would cost 134,90.
payment only via paypal (+4% paypal taxes).
shipping to us are euro 20,00 with dhl standard paket.
i hope we could help you with our informations.

Viper I can include whatever you want on our order. If you want the X58 UD5 blocks included I can order those too.

Please tell me which blocks or kits you want for which boards.

Have to close this group by Monday.

Update:

Hi Guys,

Due to the economical crises we lost some of our member numbers. So far we have 4 people that are sharing shipping.

Also to make things cheaper I can order only the amount of blocks you want they costs around 34 EUR so if you want to order only Mosfet1, Mosfet2 and North Bridge they price will drop to US$141.

Let me know what you guys think so we can wrap this order up this week.

Regards!

ygPM, Jor3lBR

Just curious, does anyone have a picture of the board w/ the blocks?

I don't think so Lyl, these blocks are kinda new and I browsed the entire UD3P thread and there is no WC setup in this board.

Yes Safan I can include you. Michael from Mips told me they are already available, not on the site yet but I can order them.

Hey guys,

Group is closed.

I sent PM to the six members in the list to order UD3 or UD5 blocks and I will need a response within these next 2 days.

I will need the exact number of blocks people need for which motherboard.

After I gather this information I will update the 1st post with each total for Blocks + Shipping to US + Paypal Fee.

I will also need each member's Paypal Email with an updated address in PM so I can send the Money Request.

I wish to hear from you guys soon otherwise I will simple have to exclude names from the list (I know sounds a bit nazi to me too :D)

Happy Holidays!

Hello,

Order was made today 12/29/2008 with MIPS COMPUTER.

Unfortunately I didn't receive any feedback or reply from most of the people on the list so I had to exclude them from the order. :shrug:

The blocks will be sent by DHL Standard and as soon as they arrive I will ship to the buyers.

Thanks or those who made this 2nd Group Purchase possible. :up:

No worries Viper I completely relate to the fact that this is a bad time to do this, cause the Holiday's and all.

Problem is on the 5th I'm back to work again and would not be able to organize this.

I'm still waiting you to get me and Napalm on the Quad 5000Mhz lanes! Bring it mate! ;)

Lol Lyl me too!!!!

I was benching the heck out of the UD3P and I noticed that those Mosfets and the NB get pretty HOT after 4500Mhz with the Quads!

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o...r1/mch2428.jpg

Can one of you guys measure this for me? Look to buy a heat transfer plate to put on my v-regs and need to know this measurement. Thanks

74mm.

Thanks Six! :up:

Me and Jor3lBR already completed this 'group' purchase (it ended up just the two of us). Unless you/someone else would like to organize another purchase, you'll can just purchase these blocks directly from MIPs (http://www.mips-computer.de/)

Congrats!

Im not sure of the difference, maybe Jor3lBR can explain

i can't understand German too bad no tanslation on that site :(

Yes this thread is over (group buy was already made). Me and LyL where the lucky ones :up:

But as LyL said you can order from their website and send them an email Michael will answer in English.

Couldn't find any differences between the ver 1.0 and 1.1, apart for some obvious cosmetic parts (mosfet and sb hs and dram slots) they clock and OC the same and both very stable.

Yep. I ordered some blocks for my Abit IN32 from them many moons ago, and they answered my emails in English :)

Too bad that I was a little bit less experienced at the time, and I ended up crushing the mosfets when mounting the blocks... I've never used thermal paste on mosfets since... Thermal pads are my friends :D

(Bloody expensive lesson though)

Thanks :) Mine is 1.0 (according to the sticker on the box). I'm gonna put the mosfets and NB on water, even though they don't get really hot (like the SIIF used to). I have a separate loop for it, I may as well use it :D

Won't clock any further, because I don't have plans to push it, but a cool board is a happy board :)

I have one of these kits left for SALE item is in USA.

Pm me or check XS for sale section.
