There is no such thing as a Q6400, and the SLB6B code matches with a Q9400.
Seems legit to me, just a typo which 6 to 9 is easily done if using a numpad!

Dont you hate it when those "accidental" offers get accepted@LewisRaz I may have inadvertently bought an Asus nForce 750i SLI (socket 775) board, 2GB RAM and "a Core 2 Quad" CPU. It was just sitting there on eBay looking sorry for itself with 21hrs to go and no bids, with a starting price of £21. I threw a £20 "Best offer" at the guy and he bloody accepted it, it's only 5 miles away as well!
Given I already have a Q6600 and QX6700 doing nothing, if this ends up being one of those then I've got a spare for you

Sounds like you got a good deal! The board you sent arrived today! Look forward to putting a build together this weekend. Thanks again for that! (super happy about the backplate too as I get a little OCD when they arent there)"Accidental" 775 bundle is now in my hands, Asus P5N-D nForce 750i SLI. @LewisRaz the CPU is indeed a Q6600 (so now I have two of them). 4GB of a mix of PNY and Corsair PC2-6400 RAM (two sticks of each), and other than a little dusty, seems in good order.
Absolutely no plans for it, and I'd also forgotten that I'd also bought an XFX nForce 780i Tri-SLI board, doh, that arrived today as well!
So now I have three nice S775 boards (including my Intel D975XBX) that I've got no plans for!
I need help.
Excellent, I trust it arrived in good condition? You after a Q6600?Sounds like you got a good deal! The board you sent arrived today! Look forward to putting a build together this weekend. Thanks again for that! (super happy about the backplate too as I get a little OCD when they arent there)
Also what are we saying about 3870x2. Couple on ebay for fairly cheap right now
Perfect condition mate. Just waiting for a cooler to arrive and I’m good to go! I’m not so sure about the quad core. Had bad news on MOT day so retro purchases are on hold!Excellent, I trust it arrived in good condition? You after a Q6600?
With regards to the 3870x2, I didn’t have one back in the day, but I DID have two 3870s in Xfire. Good cards!
Now you really need to read my email!edit: except the 3870x2 I just won for a £10 offer...
Loving all the 775 action guys!!
I just finished taking this apart and cleaning every single component (even polished the aluminium with autosol! The whole case comes apart). I will get some better pictures but currently installing windows 7 on it.
It was in a sorry state when I received it, but it’s literally time warp condition now. I’m well chuffed with how well it’s turned out. The case on these is amazing. I have a 730 next to refurb, that is DDR3 based with a 9770, will go SLI GTX 285’s with that.
