q6700 for $299!

[Cold Storm]

Q6700 at $299! (http://www.clubit.com/product_detail.cfm?itemno=CA1938458) What a sweet deal! From $550 to $299!

Better get before they are gone! Plus its a "GO"!

[farlex85]

Wow, that is an incredible deal (although they are way overpriced in the first place). I would get one if I had the dough.

What makes this better than a Q6600 besides the .2ghz oc =/

[fitseries3]

10x multi.... that means...

q6600... 400x9=3.6ghz
q6700... 400x10=4ghz

at roughly the same voltage. i can almost guaranty 4ghz out of a q6700.

so if your q6600 maxes out at 3.9ghz which is 434x9, then the q6700 SHOULD be able to do 434x10 for 4.3ghz. but YMMV.

i've had both a e6600 and a e6700 and the e6700 was BAD ASS!!!

e6600 did 420x9=3.78ghz @ 1.4625v
e6700 did 410x10=4.1ghz @ 1.4825v

10x FTW!

[Cold Storm]

More Ep3n1sitis for anyone that wants one!

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

crazy overclocks .. this is more desirable than any of those new quads in my opinion ..

[Water Drop]

I guess this means those 45nm are right around the corner...but they have a lower multiplier.

Grrrr! I already posted this in nfleschers hot deals thread to "kind of" keep it a little secretive. The cat's out of the bag now! I doubt they will have any more by Tuesday when my CC bill payment goes through. You have your revenge ColdStrom.:nutkick:

[fitseries3]

no.... 45nm quads wont OC very well. MAYBE you'll get 3.8ghz max with the q9450 but thats a long shot. the 65nm quads are still gonna clock higher and have higher multi's. the only 45nm quad that's good is the qx9650 and qx9770. both are out of most peoples price range.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

soa q6600 is stilla good shot?

[fitseries3]

_FBi;692965']soa q6600 is stilla good shot?

in my opinion... the q6600 will outperform most of the 45nm quads when overclocked.

the q6700 is quite a bit better though. if you have the $$$, the q6700 is the sweet spot at that price. it's only like $50-$70 more than a q6600 and like i said before... you can almost guaranty over 4ghz with every q6700.

I wasn't trying for anything man! lol.. I still want to have a :toast: with you some time! I'll buy unreal tournament 3 so you can get a rocket up my A$$. hows that?!?!

[btarunr]

Nice deal. Looks like they're going clearence with this. It's pretty obvious everyone was buying the Q6600 and thought it was stupid spending $500+ for a Q6700 and so they lowered it. Intel is tuning the market for a favourable entry of its Yorkfield lineup.

[Cold Storm]

and erocker.. I don't think that tpu'ers will have that type of money to spend in the next three days... so I'm hoping it doesn't end by tuesday! I'd rather get my revenge on the battle field!

@bta. Your probably right on the money about the Yorky. Plus the price wasn't all that great! But for right now it is!

[btarunr]

Something tells me other e-tailers like TD, NEgg, ZZF will follow suit.

[Cold Storm]

I hope so. Because it was out of this world price for that to start... I mean I could get a extreme for around that.. yeah, it maybe a duel, but still... And if the others fallow suit, erocker won't hate me! lol.

[MikeJeng]

So this can reach 4ghz on air? I'm confused.



I originally wanted a Q9450 but this looks good too

[fitseries3]

very possible, yes. if your q6600 can do 3.6 on air then the q6700 can do 4ghz on air with only a degree or two more.

q9540 = waste of money.

[MikeJeng]

Gotta get this now!




Seriously.



But is this a reliable site? Looks a little weird to me.

LOL!!! are you kidding? clubIT has been around as long as newegg has.

[MikeJeng]

Oh...



Never heard of ClubIT though.




did you ever get anything from them?

How is shipping?

[erocker]

Yeah, it's nice having a x10 chip.:) Buy me one!:(

[fitseries3]

i wish we could get a TPU discount. at least 5 of us will be ordering these chips now. i know im probably gonna get one.

[fitseries3]

did anyone see this....
http://www.clubit.com/product_detail.cfm?itemno=CA9654047&nav=2

[MikeJeng]

How long does this deal last?




I really want to purchase one but I probably won't get to it until tomorrow




Something is really weird about this. It's too good to be true.

[fitseries3]

probably till mid week.

you can get 2 of these for $50 more than you can get one at newegg.

[MikeJeng]

Hmn...



I can't seem to find a Q9450 vs. Q6700 review

[Duxx]

Oh...



Never heard of ClubIT though.

How is shipping?

I ordered from ClubIT and newegg on the same day, one right after the other. ClubIT arrived 1 whole day earlier. They don't send you a UPS tracking number, but shipping was spot on.

[MikeJeng]

Q6700 can't reach 4Ghz.



Reviews say that it has "thermal issues"

[fitseries3]

shipping depends on where you live. newegg has been slow since before xmas though. either way... 3 days average for most online stores.

[fitseries3]

Q6700 can't reach 4Ghz.



Reviews say that it has "thermal issues"

no... the QX6700 has thermal issues. the Q6700 is a G0 chip,,, the QX6700 is a old B3 chip with thermal issues you speak of.

[fitseries3]

[das müffin mann]

[fitseries3]

[fitseries3]

[Cold Storm]

I haven't got anything like that... Yet at lease... if it does... Its dell all over again! lol

wow that was some "quick" deal, and i thought i would be a proud q6700 owner today :shadedshu

[das müffin mann]

[fitseries3]

well.... no avail on the $299 deal but these are almost as good...

http://www.clubit.com/specials_combos.cfm

[Cold Storm]

Thats some pretty good find right there! both the quad and a 3870 or 8800 for less than 500.. thats one hell of a deal

[fitseries3]

yeah.... you still get the q6700 for like $299... you just have to buy something else with it.

the one with the 1gig stick of ddr3 is utterly stupid though. who in their right mind... would have a ddr3 board, and only use 1gig of ram? especially with a quad core.

[Cold Storm]

lol! Yeah, your right there. NO way to even use it! I've all ways been told and do kits.. No one stick here and there bs.

[warup89]

+1

OMG yes it is.

[Cold Storm]

Well, I got some news. Its been confermed that Its on its way.
http://img.techpowerup.org/080310/Q6700.jpg
I guess I was the lucky one this time...

[das müffin mann]

cold did you get ti at the discounted price?

[Cold Storm]

They took 299.99 out of my bank account. They said when I called them this morning, that it was due to the over whelming order of the processor. They said somewhere in between 20 some orders in 30 mins... So it was red flagged. I ordered it a few hours before I posted. I guess thats how they did it with dell also.

[das müffin mann]

that blows

[Cold Storm]

Yeah, it does. I thought it would work out for everyone... but I guess I was wrong. Damn it Dell/It!

[DOM]

erocker had beat you to it here http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpost.php?p=692836&postcount=93

Yeah, and if you read the thread, you would of saw that he said it also..

[DOM]

Yeah, and if you read the thread, you would of saw that he said it also..:rolleyes: I didnt feel like reading but I had saw it when he posted it

so are you going to get it ? did you do overnight shipping ?

im thinking of getting a Q but dont know yet :confused:

[Cold Storm]

I got it coming in the mail. I really didn't feel like spending 40 dollars to over night it, so I'll have it most likely Thursday. I'm just waiting on the shipping department to give me my tracking number now. The girl I've talked to says its ordered at the 299, and the email I showed states that its just waiting to be "updated"...
Well clubit is showing some great offers with the q6700, but are around 500 dollars... They are selling Slar Q66's... So thats the next best thing.

on yeah on the combos there been jacked up yeah was thinking of a Q6600 or the Q3220 wife wants a purse there like 300+ :twitch:

[Cold Storm]

wife wants a purse for 300+ so your getting her to get you a quad? I was looking into the xeon also, but I couldn't get a "Go" from newegg. Called them up, spent what felt like days on the phone, and they couldn't find one... So since I read in Shadowfolds thread, that Clubit was fore sure a Slar, I went there, looked around, and saw the q6700 for $299... The xeon is cooler, where as the slar q66 would be better ocing... Thats what everyone has told me here..

[Cold Storm]

Update:
http://img.techpowerup.org/080311/Q6700 tracking!.jpg

It'll be here Friday afternoon! $299!

[fitseries3]

oh well. they F---ed me on that one. i order after 12midnight and the deal was good till midnight. they didn't take any money so that's good.

i found a deal at my local microcenter that's almost as good....

NIB qx6700 $379.99...... but i have friends that work there and i get 20% off so that's like $303... not bad and i get an unlocked multi as well.

[Cold Storm]

pretty nice one right there man! glad to see you got a great deal for a good one!

An unlocked multi? Why's that? Is that standard on Q6700s?

[fitseries3]

no. Q6700 is locked to 10x but the QX6700 is an older chip that is an extreme so it's unlocked. you can do 6x - 30x on the multi i believe.

[Cold Storm]

An unlocked multi? Why's that? Is that standard on Q6700s?

Its an Extreme (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115011) meaning it has the unlock. and Fit, I'd pay full price whenever you feel the need to "give" it away... well the $367...

So it's a QX6700 for $300?

[Cold Storm]

I believe Fit said somewhere on here that it was an open box... and for stuff to lay around with the open box tag... People just don't know what they are selling! lol.. Also the multi for the q6700 is 10.

yeah... it was a return and has been sitting in the back room for 4 months untouched. we powered it up today on a p5k with a zalman cooler and got it to 3.8ghz only changing the multi and voltage a bit.

[Cold Storm]

Sweet bit right there! Love the fact of having friends in "places"! Good luck on it man!

Ahh I see, I've heard there's alot of open box sales on ebay :P. A 10 multi on a quad is still pretty nice though, I'd love a 10 multi on my quad (Q6600) considering it's a nice clocker already :roll:

[Cold Storm]

yeah, I was looking for a quad, and found this baby! Good thing Shadowfold was looking for one his self! :toast:

[Cold Storm]

Update: Its in, and just waiting for the fact that I'm not tired as hell. OCing the balls off this beast tomorrow!
