G0 runs cooler, and with quads, that's very important. Cooler quads = higher overclocks = easier to cool.

Yep, it's true, I called today and asked about my order and they told me that they got the G0's in. Just checked my order status and it says it has been completed. They should be shipping it out on Monday the sales person said. So fingers crossed and hope all goes well.

Excellent! I just ordered one! I had a pre-order in at TankGuys.com but they are backordered and aren't even expecting to start shipping until the 10th of Aug. and this is even cheaper! Even with the $5 cancellation fee, it's still less $$ and I get it 3-4 weeks faster!

Great post, thanks again!

I pre-ordered on the 30th of July, my Order Status is "Order Completed"
as of this afternoon, though I have yet to receive a tracking number or
confirmation email or such.

I assume that this is also the case for the rest of you all who have ordered?

This is really tempting... but I have an e4300 (@ 3.6 ghz) in a rig I built 2 weeks ago. Hmm.. decisions.

3.6ghz...Great OC! And I say keep it. You can "always" find something bigger, better, faster, cooler, cheaper, etc. Enjoy your new build. New chips are always coming out.

But on the other hand...you could probably get $75-90 for that slightly used but extremely overclocked E4300 on ebay. Then pick up a Quad from Clubit and satisfy the urge to upgrade for a few months...weeks? I know the "urge". I succombed...my quad order is pending shipment. I am weak.

Just wondering, has anyone actually benchmarked a G0 and checked that all these promises of lower temps and higher OCs are true? There have been stepping hypes before where the chip, when it arrived, failed to live up to expectations...

you got a lot of reading to do, but yeah, its all over the web.

definitely a better oc'er with better temps.

is it the miracle chip? probably not, but what is?

it definitely is an upgrade over B3 though.

When did you order yours? I ordered on saterday night, just today at 11:45 am got a 'your order is being processed' email it says it can take up to 24-48 hours.. so i wonder if i'll be rejected too, if they over-sold that is..

Just checked and it's still listed as in stock. Not that it matters to me, cuz mine has been shipped:D and I have another coming from TG's.

I ordered mine Friday night and it shipped out Monday, if that helps as a timeline for anyone! It's scheduled to get here Friday... if only my HDD and PSU would get here Friday instead of monday :( I'm looking forward to assembling my first new PC in a few years!

I ordered mine Sunday night and it still hasn't shipped, maybe I should have paid the extra $15 or whatever it was to have it shipped Fedex 2-3 day.

I didn't pay any extra to have it shipped faster... I think I just hit the right time in terms of ordering. :p

OKay mine has been in 'pending shipment' since saterday, and i ordered a 8800GTS from them last night which now says "Order complete!" , so the video card i order 12 hours ago, ships, but the cpu i ordered on saterday has been pending that shipment for 4 days (okay so they cant ship sunday i realize that but still).

Sounds like someone ran out of stock and is trying to stall their customers.. Comon they should just tell me they are out of stock so i can cancell my order and go with IT guys.. (as to the reason why i haven't yet, is becuase there might be a small chance there actually IS A chip there with my name on it in a box, just REALLY Waiting to be shipped.. but i'm skeptical at this point.).

Well it's Wednesday and my order has still not been shipped, I'm guessing they ran out of stock and are just delaying. I think I'm going to give them a call and find out when my order will be shipped, if it's going to be awhile then I'll just cancel it I guess.


ClubIT kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth, I'll give them a call today and see what they say. You guys should do the same and then report the answer they give you back here.
