Plus, the board and CPU's should be a hair cheaper when everyone is selling them.

I'm waiting for a nice price on an i7 920 / X58 on eBay...... with the 25% cashback I may be swayed to upgrade.

I doubt they're going to ship it till the 17th anyway.

ordered my 920 from TG and it shipped today:D

Sweet. Thank you Mr Fox!


Nice, But I will wait until I really need it. As of now, no need just yet.



Also, Congrats IDC on your Elite Status! You deserve it! :)

Just in time for the cold weather. Upgrade your pc, not your furnace <- intel can use this if they like, np.

Core i7 humbug. I went to Fry's today and came away with an ecs g33 motherboard and e4500 retail boxed cpu for $49.99. Similar deals are available through tomorrow for some faster cpus. Prices range from $49.99 to 199.99.

Same here; I pre-ordered the P6T and 920 a week ago and they shipped out today from TG.

It will be fun to mess with a new socket and CPU; it has been a while!

If you are wondering what shade my face is right now, I'm told its the color of "jealous much". Have fun! Wish I could join you.

BTW what are the early adopters doing for the HSF situation? Do you have good options at this point in time?

That doesn't make any sense. Core i7 uses as much or less power than Penryn at the same clock speed. It certainly uses less power than Phenom. It's not like they're releasing the next Prescott or Smithfield.

Pertaining to the subject matter at hand . . . nice for you early adopters out there. It's a shame that Deneb isn't mysteriously shipping early as well (sans Agena-like bugs).

I haven't seen many review for OCing on the stock heatsink; so I want to try that first. After a week or two, I want to grab a TR Ultra 120 extreme or the Noctua NH-U12P and see what that allows me to push the CPU to.

Realistically, I would like to get 3.2-3.4 on the stock heatsink and then 3.6-3.8 on the aftermarket one. If I can hit those, I will be definitely happy. :)

Got mine for $322 at ComputerBrain.com

I also got my Core i7 965 for $1087 from there.

The reason I'm not buying from Newegg is because I know based on experience that they overprice launch day CPUs by more than $90 bucks on average ($350 on the QX9650 at launch :().
