The 9600BE is launching today. You need to ask or look for these part numbers - OEM Tray = HD960ZWCJ4BGD / PIB = HD960ZWCGDBOX. The first production lots just hit the distributors last night. We should see them in the channel in the next couple of days.

I've found a few others in Google but they are international sites (Japan & Norway)

That BE in Pounds works out to about $350USD

Boxed 9500 BE is available to US and Canadian shoppers at NCIX for $272 CAD. Oh the temptation!!!

EDIT: Damn it, no stock yet, 1-2 weeks:

Special Order, Usually 1-2 weeks.
This product is available but currently we do not have stock - order it today and we will ship when it's available.

**sstrokerace** · 12-19-2007, 11:41 AM

Ok so why did the 6400+ BE prices just go up $25? Newegg had them yesterday and Monday for $154 and now they are back up to $180? Either the Egg was expecting a new AMD chip to come in and rush off the shelves and it's not coming or they just had enough price alerts in the system for a sub $160 6400BE that they pulled the trigger on that.

That's not a good sign for seeing the 9500 BE's anytime soon IMHO....

That NCIX's 1-2 weeks availability also concerns me...

**Blacklash** · 12-19-2007, 12:22 PM

If you're in the US my advice is to wait on Newegg, ZZF, Allstarshop or Mwave to get them in.

**F@32** · 12-19-2007, 12:29 PM

Yeah, I always shop at newegg, but had to go to ncixus.com for 8800gt. Got it there for MSRP, whereas newegg jacked prices by $30 for the 600MHz part.

**Highendtoys** · 12-19-2007, 01:09 PM

Mine came in today.

They go to 20

You will have to wait till tomorrow to find out how fast it goes.

**F@32** · 12-19-2007, 01:17 PM

Let us know if it has HT wall, what max stable OC and what temps at that.

**sstrokerace** · 12-19-2007, 01:25 PM

Any idea what the dividers are for the RAM when you go over 15?

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=105798

I've been looking for 16+ dividers for 533, 667 and 800 RAM

just show it running at 15x200 and im sold

**Highendtoys** · 12-19-2007, 02:00 PM

The ES chip I have runs quite a bit better. If you look at the first pic the stepping is different. The ES will hit 2.8 and run stable with the Noctua HS that I have on the BE now.

BE temp is 38C in the BIOS. This chip does not like running at 2.6 with just multi adjustments, even at 1.3v. It does run all day at 2.5 though. I am a little disappointed that it doesn't run right outside of the box at 2.8 like the other chip.

**Highendtoys** · 12-19-2007, 02:04 PM

just show it running at 15x200 and im sold

This chip is a long way from hitting that.

I need to get an AM2 kit for my Mach II GT and see what happens on single stage.

**knightwolf654** · 12-19-2007, 03:31 PM

hm whats the max volt on these? push it man push it as far as you can!

**GunnerMan** · 12-19-2007, 04:16 PM

Newegg needs to hurry their rotten asses up and get some of these things in stock.

**vcp-cur** · 12-19-2007, 07:32 PM

so whats up with the errata bug?

we suddenly don't have to worry about it anymore?

**GunnerMan** · 12-19-2007, 09:04 PM

The truth of it is most of us never had any reason to worry about it...the bug is very hard to replicate.

**Brother Esau** · 12-19-2007, 09:56 PM

These things anywhere to be found yet in the wild?

**Blacklash** · 12-19-2007, 10:02 PM

I am eager to see results from some of you.

I hope someone will post OC action with one soon

I've seen some on line and they are all at places like iveneverheardofyourass.com.

**sstrokerace** · 12-19-2007, 10:46 PM

Found this on another site:

Supposedly still contains said errata bug, but haven't really heard of anyone having any serious issues about it. I wonder if this thing will OC well...
