I already got mine and then put it up on eBay since i decided i would just be happy with the E6300 i already had, especially since my current motherboard (Abit AB9 Pro) is junk for overclocking with the current latest BIOS.

I am so sick of waiting.
Has ETA of newly launched processors always been this bad before? I mean I've never waited this long before on a processor, and it's driving me nuts. How was the situation with AMD X2 processors or the Intel Pentium D at their launches?
I was able to get an X2 the first month but a lot of people were still happy with single cores. People still preferred the single core FX for gaming. I doubt many people were excited about the Pentium D. The core2 chips have a level of excitement I've never seen before. There has not been a single performance boost matching or surpassing this in more than 10 years.Quote:

Ah well waiting a few more days won't hurt, esp if price may drop a little.
I'm learning slowly but surely. Cut me some slack I know a ton about PC's and hardware just not so much about OC'ing :woot:Quote:

I got so tired of it (jumper) OCing my 2.4c that I made a toggle switch just so I could hit it and be done. Best mod I ever did IMO. :)Quote:
