Just thought I'd share my little story and let people know ewiz.com just got a shipment of e8400's in.
I ordered the server version of the chip (e3110) and they called me to tell me it was out of stock and I thought I'd ask about the e8400's for the hell of it. They said they just got a shipment in!http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=E8400 |

If you search yahoo (e8400 and e3110) you can find atleast 8+ posts about people using them or asking if they work. There was only one post I read about a persons motherboard going bad because of one (but idk if it was because of the chip or not) and the other things i've read all say it works. If you read newegg reviews people there have said they bought it for their desktop and it works fine.
Some people even report it saying the computer is reading it as an e8400. edit: Yea, best price I've seen so far around the web so far. |

Just joined this forum, so if I mess up this post I apologize. I just bought an e8400 for $225 w/fan at Frys Electronics. I took it to 3.6 on stock cooler last night, although the temps were a little high. If any of you live around a Frys, take a look. It was not on the website by the way.

that's pretty cheap especially being frys (hefty markups), I had a friend who worked there and his discount were so small it was barely ever worth it. It would have costed an extra $100 or so if i bought my parts there instead of newegg lol
