    QX9300 OEM CAN BE BOUGHT LEGIT FOR $502.55 USD

    Looks like this can be purchased by anyone!
    (link removed because for some reason it was showing someone's (not mine) personal information in the checkout)

    A live chat I just had with an HP person:

    sales: Thank you for your interest in HP Part Store Live Chat. How can I help you?

    you: i am interested in obtaining a spare part #507946-001 but do not own a model that it is listed for. Are these only available to existing HP customers?

    sales: Let me see

    sales: Click here to see the models

    you: i understand that those are the HP models that this cpu is offered with, however i am seeking to purchase this cpu for use with a NON HP product, is htis possible? The machine i intend to put the processor is 100% supported with this CPU

    sales: Well I cannot tell you that

    you: i would just like to know if i can order the part basically.

    sales: You can buy it but if it does not work

    sales: it wont be our fault

    you: i understand that HP cannot support another companies product, but they can sell me this part at the listed price of 502.55 then?

    sales: The part is in back order right now

    sales: You can order it but it will take like 2 or 3 weeks to receive the part

    you: ok that is fine. thank you very much

    sales: You are welcome!

    sales: Please do not hesitate to visit us again if you need any further assistance. Thank you for contacting HP Part Store Chat Support and have a nice day!




    edit: Sorry for no direct link, HP site doesnt work that way, but you can see the part number which is what you need.

    Are you saying you can have an OEM QX9300 for $500??? Meaning the real thing, same as stock CPU not an engineering sample?

    That's amazing!

    I know, but they are easy enough to sell, especially if I ask for what I paid and not what they go for now (don't pm me asking for it as I will be keeping until this HP chip comes in - if it does at all)

    This will be an OEM as well (I presume new - anyone know if HP would send a refurb?) so supposedly more stable than an ES (although they have been working great!)

    I was told the QX9300 OEM (which I bought last weekend) was a HP spare part as well. If I just had the M17x to put it in...

    I find it funny that NBR changes their rules to adapt to OTHER company's policies. For example, the adding a paypal fee (which they state is a Paypal thing, but it's not, it's a Credit Card thing if you read through the Paypal terms of use) and the ES processors.

    Next thing you know, all threads about upgrading processors, overclocking, etc will be banned since they void the manufacturer's warranty.

    Forgot to add that is was a FANTASTIC find :D

    Has anyone noticed the absolutely crazy pricing on those parts?

    Some of the LCD's were like $800 or whatever. And there was a FireGL for like $1600 -while an OEM QX9300 is $500?!?

    W TF is going on over at HP? Puff, puff, give.......
