[B&M] Microcenter Ivy Bridge 3570K bundle

Looks to be dead in Denver

Still dont have much that my first gen i7 can't handle at 1900x1200.

This. Just picked up a pretty cheap 6950 unlocked to 6970 speeds, and with the i7 920 and 24 gb ram... I'm doing pretty well.

So did anyone who ordered online before they inactivated, get theirs shipped yet? I know my confirmation email said it'd ship by 5/2, and my status currently says "Routed". Not sure what that means.

 

[superxero044]

How do you even check the status? I'm not familiar with the site and all I could find was a place where it said to call their customer support to check the status

 

[HybridSquirrel]

Denver store is OOS. Got the last one today...or so the website said.

You can get some of the discounted motherboard combos too!!!!

Kinda amazing how far we have come. That is a lot of cpu muscle for $260 with a board included, lol.

Ordering online gives me this error "We're sorry. A processing error occurred. Please try again."
Booooooo :'(
Going to try again with a different card.

I was able to order only today with the $50 off motherboard discount. I don't know if it will ship, the confirmation came with this disclaimer.

Important Note: If the item you ordered showed the availability designated as 'Limited availability - May not be in stock at the time of order. No backorders.' and it is still in stock, your order should be shipped within the timeframe noted above. If, however, the inventory was sold out before your order was processed, you will be notified via email that the product is no longer available. Because of the nature of these products, limited availability items are not backordered.

In other words, yes, you ordered it, but we can cancel it. Since with the motherboard we are over $100 off Newegg's price, it is worth the effort to try.

I will let you know what happens.

Ordered a 3570k and Asrock Xtreme4 yesterday morning and picked them up after work today. Awesome deal at $280 plus tax.

Sad to see that the Santa Clara location is OOS, any idea on how often Micro Center restocks? TigerDirect ran out of their first batch within a few hours and already got quite a bit more it seems.

 

[superxero044]

Anyone actually get theirs shipped? Mine is still pending. Saw on SD that some people are getting theirs shipped who ordered well after me...

Hopefully it doesn't get canceled. Some peoples orders were canceled...

 

[casagw]

Anyone actually get theirs shipped?

At overclock.net, I saw several people that had theirs shipped, they were the 3770k.

One person said they got the motherboard for the combo price, but not the processor (still not too bad).

I ordered mine on Monday and it still says pending.

 

[superxero044]

I ordered mine Sunday morning at 9 am and still Pending. Have any of you contacted their customer support?

If this doesn't ship in the next couple days I'll probably cancel the order...

I ordered mine the same time, sunday 9 a.m. and mine still says pending. I did live chat with customer support today and the person just said they've had a lot of orders for that processor (mine is the 3770K) and it is taking longer than usual. Pretty much all they said is hang on, but nothing about canceling etc.

 

[badb0y]

What the hell, where is the UD5H?

 

[superxero044]

The most ridiculous part is that they definitely have stock of them, and that they're shipping them out to some people. And they have TONS of them in stores but I'm not going to spend 50$ in gas + 8 hours + 20$ in tolls to save $100....

Still haven't heard back from their customer support.

 

[LagunaX]

OOS and in store only at MC Tustin.

 

[casagw]

For those that ordered online before they killed it and did not cancel by now:

This is the email I got from microcenter's support today (for what is is worth):

"I show that this order is currently in processing, and would ship once more stock arrives this week."


Mine has been saying "processing" for almost two weeks. It looks like they might honor it, but they are sure taking their time - probably hoping people will just cancel instead.

I am going to wait until it either ships or they cancel it.

 

[loganex]

That sounds about like what I've been getting from their customer support. I suppose it makes sense because just about everyone else is OOS as well. Yesterday the girl on the live chat told me they expect more stock to arrive "this week," though she didn't make any promises.

I'm stuck waiting too because I don't want to pay $30+ more everywhere else (that is, if you can even find them in stock at $350).

 

[superxero044]

A good update:

If you are still waiting on yours to ship make sure you keep calling. I finally got a hold of a helpful CSR yesterday and he immediately remade my order and it went from Pending to shipped within minutes. 🙂

 

[lizardboy]

Deal is still going, just placed an online order for in-store pickup and it gave me $50 off of every Z77 motherboard I tried.

Too bad they don't have the mini ITX Z77 motherboard I want. :'(

EDIT: And I've proven myself wrong. 😛

ASRock Z77E-ITX

Only shows 1 in stock, but that's a start since I've never known them to carry anything decent in ITX flavor past the old socket 1156 Gigabyte board. And yes it does get $50 knocked off the price when bundled with a 2500K or 3570K.

Damn, now I wish I was back home. The $50 savings, plus the CPU savings would make it almost worth the trip, haha.
