I got an AMD FX-8120 that's less than a month old. 8 core that dynamically overclocks up to 4.0GHz. Works great, and I might be willing to part with it. PM me an offer.

[underminer]

Ditto, but I don't know how old mine is.  I have the tin can and AMD fan it came with from original buyer.  Pm me as well!

[crazyates]

Ya mine's got the tin and fan as well. And by less than a month I really meant 2 weeks, as I just checked my email for the order date. It's been one hell of a month.

70? No. I just checked ebay's completed listings for FX-8120s, and I don't see a single one that sold for less than 100. Most were around the ~120-140 range, which is what I bought mine for.

NCIX USA and Canada has them brand new for $149 right now....

[underminer]

Sure--certainly not $70.  That is hardly worth the trouble of removing the heat sink.  If you are hoping for am3+ for $70 I'm not so sure you are going to have a good time.

[AndrewBUD]

nAWW won't happen..... I'll pay $80

Newegg is $160. And yet ebay completed listings show some that sold for 199.

I got an Athlon II X3 445 that I was using before my Bulldozer I would sell for 70. 

[AndrewBUD]

after tax and shipping it would be closer to $199.. for me anyway... 13% tax on everything but shit tickets.....

[underminer]

Not from me!  Honestly if I were to sell I would buy either 8150 or piledriver ASAP.  I don't need the system so I can afford to have it sit for a little while.


That is am3 not am3+ I think crazybro.

Ya I know but it still works in an am3+ MB.

[AndrewBUD]

AM3 and AM3+ is the exact same thing.


Some 890FX chipsets will support the AM3 cpu's eg. Crosshair iv, MSI-890FXA-GD70...

[dmcurser]

hey sorry im just going off what he said. hes currently watching two auctions that arnt even above 50 yet.
Like i said i will ask him what he is looking to spend and get back to everyone asap

[underminer]

Auctions do tend to go up in price. FYI.

I believe am3+ is newer in general.  Backwards compatible does not mean "the exact same thing" am3+ CPU for example often won't boot in an am3 mobo without a bios update.  (Sometimes even with one.)

Hey I love watching low auctions as much as the next guy. I"m just telling you there have none to date that have actually sold for that low. If he wants an 8 core, he's looking at around 120-140 average.

[underminer]

Saying that he said he saw them go for $70 makes me think that this guy you are buying for is just a liar/flake, if what crazyates said is true then thats really some bs.  Granted I'm not going to go to ebay and check it out myself, but just based on this I've decided I don't want to deal with this person, even if it is through a third party.  So good luck!
