When is conroe going to be released to newegg?

[hutch1ns]

Anyone have an ETA? I've got my $4000 line of credit newegg prefered account ready to pounce. Only question is when lol

 

[soydios]

I wish I had $4k...my budget was $2.5k, but that's all cash-in-hand. I'll be checking various sites (Newegg, ZZF, etc.) at 12:02am.

Just remember, NewEgg is a west coast company, right? I may need to stay up till 3am just to have a chance...

 

[Jeffrey903]

The assumption that NewEgg will sell at midnight is just speculation, right? Or has someone at NewEgg said it will be out at midnight?

 

[soydios]

any and all times and dates associated with Conroe availability from large e-tailers is pure speculation, but more of the educated guess type

 

[JoeFahey]

Im on the east coast, and New egg is on the west coast right? Damn, I'm not waiting until 3 AM. Think there will be any left by 9 tommorrow morning if they do list them?

 

[hutch1ns]

I'll be up at 3 am. Fed ex overnight shipping it is. Need to order a mobo, probably gonna get the $259 asus 965 board that newegg has.

 

[soydios]

Splurge the extra $10 and get the Asus P5W DH Deluxe (975X) instead of the P5B Deluxe (965X). 975X has better overclocking and CrossFire (it's the motherboard AnandTech uses for Conroe benchmarks). I have one on its way via UPS from Newegg, and I just need to pair it up with a C2D E6600.

Oh sweet it was just outta stock the last time i looked i figured itd be weeks before they had more in.

 

[hutch1ns]

whats everyone planning on using for cooling? I've got a Corsair Nautilus which keeps my 805 under 40*c at full load (oced to 4.2ghz 1.45v)

 

[soydios]

I'm using a CNPS9500, but since you already have water cooling, use that.

 

[Cynicist]

I agree with soy, your setup looks great. I'm using a scythe ninja /w a highspeed panaflo.

 

[hutch1ns]

Yea I've tried plenty of watercooling kits and this one is by far the best. Highly recommended. You can pick it up for $149, the setup is a breeze. The radiator, tank and pump is all in one.

I may buy a few cpu's if anyone misses the release. I'm basically sitting infront of my computer with a bag of popcorn refreshing the newegg processors section every few minutes (I feel like such a loser lol.) My girlfriend can't even get me to go out for a ride with her because I don't wanna miss it.

 

[Cynicist]

rofl @ ur post, I also feel like a true nerd atm. I'm actually glad that I missed out on a trip to ukraine this summer just so I can get one of these chips at release. I got one during the zzf rush and I'm still watching (still not sure why, zzf had really good prices), even though I doubt any will be in stock at 3.

 

[hutch1ns]

Never doubt newegg. They really are amazing at what they do. I've ordered over $2k worth of stuff from them the past year and there hasn't been one time where there wasn't a box infront of my door the next day.

 

[hutch1ns]

They updated the front page at approximately 1:50 est (no conroe yet)

 

[hutch1ns]

**update** 3:03 a.m no conroe yet

Newegg actually had a posting for the X6800 yesterday, but it has since been pulled. The price was $1359.99, and it was listed as being out of stock, with an estimated availability date of 08/04/2006 (which is consistent with estimates that I'm seeing on other sites).

Useful maybe for the guy with $4000 to blow, but I only want an E6600.
