I think this whole Conroe thing has contributed to my high blood pressure. I just had a physical and got put on high blood pressure meds.
Seeing that I still can't seem to find a retail 6600 on August 7th is making me feel woozy.
I better pop an extra pill today. :zombie:
Yeah...I've never ordered from Microcenter before and kind of scared.Quote:

Hope I will be impressed over my current Opteron at 10x280;)
well in defense of clubit, i placed an order with them on july 27th for a retail E6600 after i called to make sure they had the item in the warehouse. i called today and they confirmed my order will ship today. I should have my c2d tomorrow! :)
ps - cost me $339 + $35 fo overnight shipping. total: $374
You guys are thinking of getting oem for ~$400? I think the 3 years warranty is worth it more for that price.
Did you do this today and they have OEMs in stock?
EDIT: Nvm, I'm an idiot.
You pretty much screw your warranty after you OC.Quote:

Did they give you a tracking number yet or has your order status changed from Pending Shipment? I will feel a lot better after someone gets a tracking number.Quote:

With an OEM chip I think that the warranty after 90 days is handled by the company that sells you the chip. I don't have any first had experience, but I bet that it's probably pretty hit and miss depending on the company. They probably have some weird policies and such. I know with Tiger Direct, if you don't buy a HSF directly through them ON THE SAME ORDER then you don't get the warranty.Quote:

Today, ClubIT told me that they actually did not have any e6700s in stock when I ordered it. They did receive a shipment of e6700s from Intel, but they were all OEMs (and though I couldn't pin him down on it, it appears that they received the shipment from Intel after I placed my order). He claims that they never opened the box from Intel so they never realized they didn't have any retail versions. He tried to make it sound like they never actually lied about having it in stock since they never really knew whether they had it in stock. He says that they only recently realized they have no retail e6700s.
Here's what I was offered: the would send me the OEM version, but at the same price as what I ordered my retail version for. It would have no warranty (that's what they told me) and they would throw in a free t-shirt. He absolutely refused to lower the OEM price to below what I ordered the retail version, even though he admits I was misled and even though he acknowledges that the OEM does not have the fan/heatsink and has no warranty.
That's plain BS.
btw, I didn't ask about other processors like the e6600. this was only about the e6700.
At microcenter they have OEMs in stock for 380 and the warranty is only 30 days? The people sounded retarded. Im just going to wait.
free t-shirt!? How about a 20% off on your next purchase would be better.
That really sucks!
As someone mentioned earlier, you should leave feedback if they don't ship it today.

That is hilarious. I can't believe that they offered him a T-SHIRT! :eek:Quote:

FYI: Did another chat with newegg and this individual was much more knowledgable...

MeWantConroe: Hi I was wondering when you will be selling the Intel Core 2 Duo Processors...I heard a rumor that it was today.
Janet : The ETA is today, but we have not received the shipment yet. I apologize for that.
MeWantConroe: Orly...That sucks I guess it's still early in Califronia correct? Is that were they are being shipped to?
Janet : Yes, the items will be shipped to California.
MeWantConroe: Oh ok that's good so it is still early. so we may see these on the site today possible later in the afternoon?
Janet : Yes, we might receive them by the end of the day. But there is no guarantee, since we are not aware of the exact time that we will receive them.
MeWantConroe: Alright well they should then for sure be here by tomorrow then...
Janet : The only information we have is that the ETA is today. But then again, we cannot guarantee. The only information we have is that, and what you see online. Which at this moment we do not have a guarantee for the ETA, nor other information.
ClubIT's website shows a "Manufacturer Warranty 1 year" on the OEM CPU.

Haha. The fact that you made your chat name 'MeWantConroe' and the fact that you used 'Orly' in the conversation made me chuckle.Quote:

I did reinstate my instore pickup order for a E6600, while I decide if I should go back to Fry's for a E6400, which was reasonably priced, but not what I wanted.Quote:
