    Can't go wrong with either one. I've heard good things about both. I bought from laptopmonkey, no issues and I can vouch for him. I did see another 940XM ES at a lower price and brought it to his attention with a link and an offer and he matched the price.

    If you message laptop monkey and ask him about the 1 year warranty he will usually do it, he doesn't advertise it but bring up matching and he'll throw it in.

    Pretty sure shirleyfu1117 will pricematch too, they probably all will.

    I bought 2 Qx9300s a while back from shirleyfu1117 and a 920xm yesterday.

    No problems and email responses are fast.

    PRAISE i am guessing you mean price.Price will be different because many people will not do a thorough search for the same cpu like you did & sometimes will buy it @ the higher price but i am guessing.Send Laptopmonkey a message on Ebay sure he will explain it.

    If you provide him with a link to a cheaper CPU of the same kind, he will match the price.

    There's quite a few that work well: MX-3, OCZ Freeze, Shin-Etsu, TX-4. Take your pick!

    IC diamond 7 is the best thermal paste in the world but is quite expensive, 1.5g for $10
    But is worth it.
