I got my order in this morning.
I ordered them all on the 25th, it took a good 24 hrs for them to ship out. Since I live here in So cal, it got here in 2 days, 1 day earlier then expected.

gg. i'll be putting it together very soon 🙂
 
Got another 3800 939 today - stock HSF all aluminum little fan sucks but still managed 2400Mhz..so 4600+ for $151 from Mwave. This is going to my sister and I feel comfortable leaving it there...any more OC definity needs a new HSF so budget accordingly... load temps went up to 63 but it is summer.

That 63 (assuming Celsius) seems very high temp. Check both the fan and thermal paste to make sure it's in working condtion. What's your room or amibient temp? My current x64 3500+ only shows 42-45c @ load and room temp is 79-80F. You may use Artic Freezer or Zalman to cool it down a bit.
BTW, my new x2 3800+ is in "Packed" status all day @ ZZF (ordered last night)

Nah it's not to high...anything under 80C and I'm happy as long as it's stable.

Yeah, my 4400+ has been "Packed" all day at ZZF too (but I ordered 2 days ago, Tuesday afternoon, it's now Thursday night / Friday morning and it still hasn't shipped). :|
 
I'm on day three now since I placed my order at mwave, and still it hasn't shipped. I am NOT impressed with these folks.

That is really odd, did you call them? I just received my x2 3800+ (2 days after I ordered it). I've always had great luck with mWave (one of my favorites).

Stepping: LDBFE 0622 WPMW
2650 MHz @ 1.500v
49C max load in 80F ambient w/ XP-90 ans AS5

Nice little chip for $160 shipped.....

m 🙂
 
My X3 3800 is pretty nice so far. I got a cache disabled Toledo, and the temperatures are much lower compared to the 3000 Winchester it replaced. Looks like the XP-90 is designed for big cores. I can finally playback H264 at 720p without skipping (GeForce 6800 with broken VP).

OK, it turns out mwave shipped my 4000+ yesterday, but mwave is having a problem with their system so I wasn't notified. Apparently others are in the same boat so a call might be in order.
 
I was in the same boat as a bunch of ya'll so I'll share my story. I originally purchased from Monarch on Saturday. Got a confirmation email but their website said they would ship on or before August 3rd, so at this point I could have been waiting a week. Monday morning rolled around and Monarch was still sitting on my order when Mwave reduced their prices. I made my order for a 4600+ when it was in stock @ Mwave, then I called and cancelled my Monarch order.

Mwave process:
Ordered 2:59 PM 7/24/06
Verified 7:25 PM 7/24/06
Shipped 10:33 PM 7/25/06
Received 2:00 PM 7/27/06 - East Coast

Got my 4600+ running w/ a Zalman AlCu 7000B @ 46-50'C idle which is nearly 6-8' higher than my 3800+ was running at. Ambient case temp at 36'C and room temperature is about 72'F
 
Ok I just got of the phone with Monarch.

Apparently they have been receiving lots and lots of orders.

So I ordered mine on Monday, and they said that mine was already packaged and ready to ship.

The representative told me, that a lot of orders should be shipping not on August 3rd but a lot by today. Also he bumped me up to free 3day shipping instead of ground.

So be sure to check your email tonight to see if yours has shipped if you ordered from Monarch.

 
I have the same type of problem... I have ordered in ZZF 4400+ at Tuesday ~ 2pm PT...
It is still packed and not shipped.

zzf by the end of this day if not shipped will not have me as a customer again...dealt with smaller and noted by most on here as shadier vendors who have all shipped quicker than this if not emails about why not shipped were at least sent but this situation w/zzf is bs 🙁
 
🙁 I jumped on this on Saturday (22nd). I paid for overnight delivery in the hopes that it could get shipped out fast. Monarch charged my credit card on Sunday (23rd).

I hadn't received a confirmation for the order and so I emailed them 4 times over the next 4 days without receiving a response. I gave them a call this morning and they didn't have any record of my order...(note: my credit card had been charged). The customer service rep didn't offer any ideas or help, so I called the credit card company for a charge back and ordered from NewEgg.

Monarch really let me down.

Hopefully NewEgg will come thru.

Awesome overclocker! Mine will be here Monday from ZZF. Will use Artic Freezer to replace stocked HSF.
 
Update one more time. In fact, it was shipped on July, 28 10am. And it took 24 hours for them to update the status...
