Where's my Phenom BE?!

[Daveburt714]

It's going on 2 weeks since AMD released the Black Editions, and I still can't seem to find one here in the US!! Trust me, I've been looking pretty hard too, even stooping to checking Ebay....

Anyone have a clue where I could get my hand on one of these?
Or when we might actually see them available?

[Brother Esau]

Like I said when announced it won't materialize for at least 3 weeks after the supposed release date if we keep tabs on current track record of AMD

[Daveburt714]

Thanks Brother E....

MUST... CONTROL... MY... IMPATIENCE...

These parts sitting here ready to go, is driving me crazy though!!

I had all these plans for this 4 day weekend...
Hope I don't do something crazy and go buy a 9500 at Microcenter

7 more days should be it for me.

[Brother Esau]

Tye...you gotta get back rolling with the DFI 790FX bro New Bios is Ver, very good

[Lightman]

In U.K 7th of January is the date

[KTE]

Campbell, I would but I only find out after the 7th if I can try it again. Also I don't think it supports my Crucial RAM properly and DDR2-1066 with Phenom yet. And the last I saw it, it had a lower HT wall than on the MSI or GBT boards with Phenom. Did they get this resolved?
Also I'm just messing around. I'm not a decent oc candidate, everyone else but me would be. I'm just messing since I can get some hardware that's not being used anyway without cost. Rewind 2½ years or fast forward 2 years and I'd love to have tested it properly in a lab with as cold as you can get. Don't plan on doing that until I'm done with my main life goals again.
I can try CoolIT Freezone Elite as well with Phenom BE next, same with Zalman Reserator XT Black Edition, but I really can't be bothered with the hassle of assemble/fix/test/tweak/dissemble repeatedly. The last Freezone I tried was an absolute PITA for me, and the only point of trying these would be if temps/volts were a bottleneck which it hasn't been so far. Just doesn't cut it as worthy to me for testing. Air cooling, specifically Zalman 9700, is just so simple and instant, clip it on and off you go. No need for TIM many times.

Know of any DFI 790FX selling in Euroland?

Excellent! These are the benefits of a wide community.

My mother was half Italian and I lived there in my youth so I understand quite a bit. Although its double the price of the GBT DQ6.

Also, Phenom BE.... just received email. My uncle has 10 at his workplace since Monday. I'm picking it up as soon as I can.

[knightwolf654]

brother is banned?!?!?!?

man i so want one of these suckers.i'm in need of a new cpu now must play crysis!

[KTE]

He was banned just before my last reply here.

[informal]

Does anyone know the reason for his ban?
What is happening with this place ?

[KTE]

Search his last posts. Maybe it's in PMs in regards to them.

[Swanie]

You are one lucky man to get a BE. Let us know what the performance like.

[informal]

Yeah i did and found nothing wrong.Like you said,it's probably something PM related.

[KTE]

I'll post about it in the K9A2 thread later on.

@KTE
Do you know price for BE? Are you coming to U.K next week?
I'm asking because I'm interested

I'm here in the UK now actually.

I might pick up mine tomorrow or Sunday. Are you after one?

Quick, quick, a word from the man... Misco and my uncles workplace had the initial batches delivered at the same time. Probably first EU delivery. They should be in plenty stock there.

EDIT: http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/...296956&CatId=0

Yep. £160, same as non-BE.

Great news KTE!

Thanks for head up

It's very tempting.... I should wait and sell my 9500 first, but ...
Will discus this with my bank account and wife

[KTE]

Lol!

I thought it was all supposed to stay PG bro

[duploxxx]

still no find on the main EU land yet, but we already see phenom 9500 for 148eur and 9600 for 184eur. if it stays below the 200eur i'll buy one for sure.

[darkone414]

Whats the price on these things? Same as the other Phenom chips or higher?

[TheMike]

found this, not in stock but the price is ~200 eur

[VSpecII]

I already had to endure Christmas with the family. If the BE's don't ship very soon it'll be New Years too. UGH!

[Corsa]

Like how long does it take to ship this stuff and get some real results here

ohh and about "brother is banned !?!?!
