I think it's time to take up a collection and bribe the shipping clerk at Club IT. They claim these C2D's are just sitting in their warehouse collecting dust while awaiting the magic 8/7 date.

I say it's time they start getting them loaded onto the trucks. Even if they do, it'll still be 8/7 or later before orders actually arrive. Intel can't spank them too bad if the jump the gun a mere day or two and they would sure make all their new customers happy. Maybe even enough to displace past Newegg loyalty.

If you're listening Club IT, can't you induce a system glitch to make all these things ship now!! We won't tell Uncle Paul!!

They're saying if they can confirm that other retailers are already shipping Conroes, they will release them for shipment today.

I don't know if unboxing pictures count, but if someone who has an order in wants to furnish proof (for instance, if you have a packing slip for another Conroe from somewhere else), you will make a lot of people happy :)

I actually put my E6400 up on eBay just now and will be returning my Bad Axe to Frys.

Just decided after all this drama with my board refusing to go past a 400MHz FSB while the processor was easily doing 3.2GHz (8 x 400) no problem at stock voltage was too frustrating. It wouldn't let me select the 1333 strap, wouldn't allow me to adjust my memory dividers without going nuts, and was generally a hassle to make changes to.

Shame too, because the CPU could dual-prime stable at 400MHz with air cooling at 1.275v and was begging to be clocked up to 3.4-3.6GHz.

Oh well, just going to wait a bit until the RD600 is out before I build out my final Conroe rig. That was the board I wanted from the start anyway. PM me if you're curious about my CPU, I'll be shipping it out today. Thanks to everyone for the assisstance in troubleshooting the motherboard, appreciate it greatly. :)

maybe I missed something along the way but havent there been a few people in the last couple pages of this thread whove reported getting tracking numbers from clubit?

my order now says pending shipment but I spoke with them on the phone today and through email and they said they were going to get it out for me by tomorrow (Ill become one of their best customers if they do Im sure of that much)

Proof of E6400 shipment

Think a scan of a packing slip is proof enough that E6400s were shipped out from ZZF?

I removed the address, order number, and packing number. Note the smiley face on the packing slip - that's a stamp applied when the packing list has been checked, far as I can tell.

Mine has an S-Spec of SL9S9. B2 stepping. No installation guide or sticker came with it in the box, even though it's retail. Need to ask Intel for one, I suppose.

Currently, it's running at ~2.53Ghz (19% burn-in). RAM's at 396Mhz base clock (2x1GB Geil DDR2-800). That's as high as I plan to take it. :-)

[EDIT:] Fixed the image so it wouldn't be so messy. Didn't realize images were in-line viewable and not just attachments.

I just sent an email to Club IT reminding them that thier competitors have already been shipping this week.

At this point they've basically met the intent of Intel's embargo and should just start getting the shipping process started.

I don't expect they'll do anything but who knows.

Besides that, they could be swamped on 8/7 trying to get all these orders out the door.

My retail E6300 from ZZF came with sticker and installation guide. I wonder why your's didn't?

They probably missed it when packing the CPU. I'm not too upset - the Celeron D 346 I was using temporarily had a decent enough installation guide.

Please do not pre-order from this company. You will not enjoy the experience. God forbid you should ever have to talk to their customer support via phone, e-mail or tribal drums, because their CSRs have no power to do anything for you.

Years ago Buy.com had a 19 inch crt that people were going nuts over and had it cheap.
Hundreds ordered it, ONLY 25 got it. I was one of the unlucky ones even though I had an email confirmation my order went through.
I will NEVER deal with them again.

BTW I got an email confirmation and tracking number for my retail 6700 from mwave. Be here tomorrow. :)

ok i figured you guys would know since this thread is about buying them...

HOW DO YOU OPEN THESE INTEL BOXES?

can it be done without tearing cardboard? does the key lie in those circle cuts?

Haha. I ripped mine when I was opening my E6300. I didn't try to use the circle cuts. I just cut the blue seals the pryed the top off. Now my box looks like crap.
08-03-2006, 02:48 PM
AndrewZorn

the circle things have nothing to do with opening it then right

i mean, there were intel SEAL stickers on it
how does that mean anything if you have to rip the cardboard to open it?

at least with my PD box, u tear the factory seals on the side w/o the bar codes and stuff, and then just open it like a normal box..
