These cpu's have already become available through one of the distributeurs in the netherlands. The others (i work for one ;) ) simply know they can't sell these yet or simply haven't gotten some yet.
I noticed several webshops already removed them from there shop ....... since this afternoon....

Very nice for a new CPU, although a longer run than 3 iterations would be nice to show stability with HT on.
I don't want to detract from those results though, a lot of new batch i7's wont even load windows at those speeds/vcore :up:
nice wall! where did u get it from? haha. awesome results btw:up:Quote:

You got a really strange batch# there, but this is a really exciting CPU. It is interesting to see the OC headroom on this.Quote:

That should be the case yes.Quote:

Well they aren't technically broken, but they don't oc as easily as odd numbered multis
Since you work somewhere that "WILL" sell the 930:
Do you know when the actual tentative release date is? Since you already have them in stock I assume its not too far away.
The official release date is 28. Feb. But all these http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/25329...re-i7-930.html are indicating an early release. It is not the first time Intel lets a CPU lose earlier.Quote:

Any clue when the i7 980X is suppose to be released? I need to get my hands on one of those and I'm guessing a price tag of 1g. Will that be the only 6-core processor?
In march, and yes, for around 6 months. Unless you want to buy an even more expensive Xeon...Quote:

It would be nice to see MC release the 930 at the current $200 920 price and drop the 920 to say $130-$150 since its old discontinued tech. That might change my fiances upgrade from a 1156 to a 1366 with a 920. Not that she even uses the damn thing for anything other then file storage. I couldn't tell you when the last time is she actually got on it since I got her a netbook for work. But I'm redoing it as I have mine to match her business colors inside and out of the case. See my worklog in the sig if your interested.Quote:

Well i've played with the 930 for about 3 hours and replaced it with my good old 920. The reason is quit simple this batch (3001A117) sux ass big time.Quote:

I have the change to exchange it with another batch when they arrive at my work ;)
Avoid any i7 with 3001A117 batch !!
930? Lol .... :) that was the imissing no in intels model lineup glad it finally showed up thanks to intel (sucker inside idiots outside) next model could be 970 :rofl:
That was really disappointing. I had high hopes for 930, but got suspicious when I saw the late Jan. 2010 manufacturing date for your batch#.Quote:

bad batch or does it need something other than vcore to get it where it's going? Try turning off turbo?
Have you tried both 22x and 21x multi? Perhaps you gave up too early?Quote:
