Here's the story, I purchased these from NewEgg for a DIY build. I put everything together and fired it up. Ran great for 6 weeks. Suddenly it crashed, and nothing would start up, the motherboard lights and fans would spin, but the video and no post. I did some testing to the best of my ability (I have a C.S. bachelor degree, for what it's worth) and narrowed it down to the CPU and/or motherboard. So I sent them off to their respective manufactures and got them replaced. In the mean time, my job provided me an updated laptop, so I'm putting the home desktop on hold for now. Up for sale are the replacement units. The CPU is brand new and factory sealed, the motherboard may not be, but looks like all the accessories are in there. With this build, I also purchased OCZ AMD Black Edition DDR3 SDRAM, which is supposed to be able to run at 1600 Mhz with some tweaking (overclocking) of the motherboard. However, when on the phone with AMD's tech support, they told me that's probably what fried the CPU/Mobo. So, just a word of caution, do not run this CPU with RAM at 1600 Mhz. Other than that... the CPU is factory sealed and brand new retail box, the motherboard is direct from the factory, but looks like it might be a refurb.

I'm in no hurry to sell, but with technology changing along with pricing, I'll leave these on the forum for a few days, if no interest, I'll throw them up on Ebay and get my throat slit by their fees.

Thanks for looking. Don't hesitate to contact me.
