bandit721 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thought I'd share a good deal for those interested... If you're near a Microcenter (sorry US only) they have a bundle deal going on...It includes an Intel G3258 20th Anniversary CPU (G3258) and an MSI Z97 PC Mate Mobo for $99. I also found a $10 rebate on the mobo, so total cost would be $89. Pretty damn good price for an unlocked, dual-core Haswell setup. NewEgg is selling just the mobo for $99. There are plenty of videos online showing people getting 4.6-4.8GHz out of this chip. I picked one up as my dedicated cabinet rig and was able to overclocked the processor to a stable 4.6GHz. So far, it has performed flawlessly for all my emulation needs. Any MAME games that used to bring my quad-core Q6600 to it's knees (including the newer Gauntlet games), run without issue. Here are the links for those interested: Bundle: http://www.microcenter.com/site/brands/g3258bundle.aspx Rebate: http://images10.newegg.com/uploadfilesfornewegg/rebate/SH/MSI31MIRsSep1Sep3014vl25us.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
