Where can I find a cheap AMD X6-1035t?

Greeting gods of Hardware...

I just today "discovered" that the son MB supports the Phenom X6 CPU!...In particular the X6-1035t, 1045t or the 1055t.

Thing is....

They are sold out pretty much all over Denmark. And I have no luck in locating a second hand CPU...

Are you guys familiar with any sites near me, that I can look into???

Sorry Beer. The only eTailers that I know and trust are based here.

I did find 1055t that is on the low side at $50.00 starting bid and will most likely stay there. That is because it has a broken pin. (Link) It would be a gamble but since the missing is on the outside edge it can be repaired using a filed down soldering iron tip. Personally I have never replaced a broken CPU pin but I have had to straighten out pins on 3 different occasions.

Beer, I know how you have to watch the power consumption over there in Europe - with utilities cost so high. What you want is a 1035t or 1045t because they only pull 95W for 6 cores!

Are you opposed to one on Ebay? I could help ship it over if necessary. I don't know any etailers in Europe, but I'm sure we could try to locate you one...is there an "Ebay" or "Craigslist" type site for Denmark?

Excactly my thougths...6 cores on 95W....Can´t go wrong...


I am hitting the Danish webshops hard by email. I found a small shop that migth have a 1045T coming in later this month...I will keep you posted.

Never traded on Ebay before. Sticking to those I know. We got some "ebay" and "craigslist" type of sites - but no luck so far.

Oh, well.....I will keep trying. Maybe stick a few dollars aside at the same time.....I found a cheap Asrock MB, that could serve as base for upgrading the family-rig on a budget....The FX8100 will fit in there...Besides the CPU and MB...i just need DDR3 and a HS.....I would be all set for a couple of years...

Let me know when you need that DDR3. I've got 4GB Mushkin Enhanced Silverline DDR3 1333 RAM that I will send you - just found out I can't use it together with my G-Skill RIPJAW 4GB set, because for whatever reason the motherboard doesn't like the mis-matched set. They both work great separately though!

IIRC with the i7 on-die memory controller, it does not like mis-matched chip density or sticks of different capacity. ie, 4GB sticks. A stick with low density chips will be double-sided (chips on both sides of the stick) while a stick with high density chips will be single-sided.

Thks for the offer. But ram prices are pretty atm...So I will locate some std. ram sometime soon, and go with them. If I can´t find a X6 - I definately will try to get my hands on a cheap X4 somewhere. At that point I will donate the current X2 for a hydrahead.
The current X2 is a 240e which is 2 x 2.8Ghz at ridiculus 45W power...But more than enough to feed a strong GPU at some point!!
