AMD Phenom X4 9750 2.4 GHz Socket AM2+ desktop CPU HD9750WCJ4BGH 95W

Here is a 64-bit Socket AM2+ quad-core CPU from AMD running at 2400 MHz. This one is known as a Phenom X4 9750. AMD's part number is HD9750WCJ4BGH.

It uses the "Agena" core and 65 nanometer traces. It includes 2MB of L2 cache plus 2MB of L3 cache and its own memory controller for DDR2 SDRAM with a 1.8 GHz Hyper Transport Link. It draws 95W of power (unlike the 125W HD9750XAJ4BGH).

This CPU is compatible with most AMD socket AM2+ and even AM2 desktop systems, but the buyer should check their system documentation for compatibility. A BIOS upgrade may be necessary. If you are not sure, ask me. I would rather tell you "no" than waste our time for a return over compatibility.

You will receive only the CPU as pictured here (but not the exact one). A heatsink and a fan are required but not included in this auction. If you need a small tube of thermal paste, just let me know at the time of payment.

Your CPU will arrive working with all pins straight and as pictured. I make sure it will drop into a socket AM2, will insert the pins in a protective foam pad, and enclose it in a plastic clamshell before shipping. Please read the installation instructions at the bottom of this listing if you have any difficulty inserting it in your socket AM2 or AM2+.

I welcome questions from interested bidders and offer a 30 day return privilege.

International buyers: please note that there may not be complete tracking or an estimated delivery time for either shipping method listed here. Also, you are responsible for paying any additional customs duties or VAT your country may charge you.

The technique which we use to straighten pin requires sunlight, a magnifier, a utility blade, and perhaps a safety pin. First, hold the CPU at about a 10 degree angle to the socket and see if you can insert the outer row of pins for only one edge. If you feel any resistance do not push down. The resistance point helps you locate the troublesome area. Use the utility blade along the sides of the pins to push up any pin that is not upright. (If the pin is almost flattened you can raise up the end by inserting a safety pin underneath it and lifting the back of the safety pin.) Try to avoid any pressure near the base of the pin. Repeat this process for each of the four edges. Then decrease the angle so the inner rows of pins drop in the holes. Again, try to locate any resistance points for each side and repeat as necessary. Eventually you should be able to use the CPU.
