Should I buy the 1090t? I really wanted to wait until next january to buy a amd 3+ board and possibly a newer cpu, but this guy I know is selling me a 1090t for 130. Supposedly he couldn't use it on his mobo... You guys have anything I should be looking out for if I go see it?

Also he says other than being used once it's new...

I'll buy it for 130$ .. link me to this guy.

Helluva deal

.... just make sure the pins are all there and aren't bent....

If he couldn't use it on his board, how could it be used once....

Friend or internet guy? Sounds too good to be true.

could fit the socket type but not compatible with the cpu type.

I'll buy it, test it and resell for $200-$250

.... then it would have been installed, but not used....

I know the guy, he said his mobo wouldn't boor up with it. Then he found out his mobo don't even recognize it. It's new with receipt

I'd test it 1st as if he used it with an AM2 mobo it could have been damaged. What motherboard are you running?

Okay I went out, popped it in an crosshair, and it's good! Paid the guy, he's a rich kid, so I guess I got lucky! Well, now to build a system around it. Anyone got good recommendations on a mobo?

A bit excessive in price. I'd say an Asus Crosshair IV Formula (AMD 890FX), though. Best overall for what you get and price ratio. Otherwise, maybe an Asus M4A89GTD PRO (AMD 890GX), which apparently also overclocks like a champ. All these 890FX and 890GX chipsets seem to love these new CPUs for overclocking with low voltages.

What's in the extreme that would away my mind? I thought hydra chips for the video sucks

Oh hell yes snatch that up, the 10XXT series is amazing! Great overclockers, they compare to lower end 1156 i7s.
