So because im a cheap ass mofo. I bought me a Phenom 9950 BE. From what i understand they can range from 125w-140w for mobos.
Im using a ECS GeForce7050m-m (look it up its ancient)
Im afraid this mobo is going to go out. I dont know what type of 9950 i have because there are 2 kinds. The 125 and the 140. So basically there are only a few mobos out there and there VERY hard to get your hands on because there deactivated according to Tigerdirect and Newegg.
So.. I looked on ebay. And little did i know someone bought the board in December of 2009 and has never overclocked it. Acording to him. He has 100% sell rating and he has about 5 other auctions up all parts from his old computer (cpu,memory, and the mobo)
I need the mobo and well i won it for 47.00. Its a Biostar 790GX DDR2 motherboard - TA790GXE 128M.
This thing is truly a beauty for it age.
They average between 80-120 still and i got it roughly at half the price. (was actually 36.00 but shipping was $10 :/ )
So do you think i got a good deal? Do you think its faulty?
I emailed him before i bidded on it (3 days ago) and he said hes selling his old computer to upgrade to a DD3 type system. Fair enough.
All his other stuff looked good too but i didnt bid on it.
My question to you guys. Have you used this board? Do you think i go jiped?
