well its a preorder spot but still a good deal

[HiJon89]

I'm not even going to bother, orders are just gonna be cancelled (Watch that the one time I don't order they actually honor it )

It's not a mistake. They're taking $5 advances to reserve a processor for you. You still have to pay the full price.

$5 purchases a spot on the waitlist, not an actual processor. You will be billed for the remaining value of the processor once pricing is confirmed.

*edit* very misleading title btw. I suggest you change it.

Tankguys honors their preorders. IMO they're the best shop around, any time I can support them I do. Prices aren't always the best, but it's a small operation, it's hard for them to compete with companies like Newegg. They really do try to cater to overclockers, and the service is top knotch.

ya true

i was able to know the two best online shops IMHO from XS

TankGuyz and Petra

nvm

hmmm nice

have to figure out freight now heheh

[TankGuys]

Sorry if the program confused anyone as well

This method of pre-order is to try and avoid the major headaches we had with the Core 2 Duo pre-orders last summer... that got a bit rocky

In any case, this is a tad cumbersome, but if anyone has any questions/comments/concerns, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to help.

Any word you will be getting any more in soon? Also, where do you charge tax. No CA tax would be a winner for me

In this case, only tax on Michigan orders. In some cases, people in California, Illinois, New York, Georgia, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania get charged tax on at least part of their order... just depends on what they order, and where we have to ship it from.

These will all ship from Michigan though, so no tax unless you live here

Oh, and as for an ETA - likely early/mid August, as a conservative estimate. The G0 steppings for these won't even start shipping from Intel until mid July, so we've got to take some time to weed out the old and get only the new. Thus, it will definitely take longer to order from us than elsewhere - but at least you'll know what your getting, or you get your money back

[dinos22]

are you guys going to start making exceptions and offer reasonable freight to aussies

[jackies]

Humm, the page says "Thermal Design Power 130 W"
I think I heard G0 stepping is to have TDP of 95w..
Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Kunaak]

GO is a minor tweaking and refining of the making of the CPU.
so they are about 10 watts cooler, then other steppings.

so a 130 watt Q6600 would now be about 120.

95 w is the rating of dual core conroes.

Sorry to go a bit off topic but...are you saying the Q6600's give off~120w of heat? So if you were to water cool one you'd need something to dissipate atleast ~120w of heat, maybe a tad more? Just clarifying this. I'm new to this so...

I haven't changed any of that yet - good catch

Take it up with FedEx International rates are insane. USPS is at least cheaper, but it's entirely too much of a pain for us to use it, unfortunately.

[eva2000]

Is it confirmed G0 ? I was told we won't be seeing Q6600 G0 in retail boxes until next year most will be Q6600 B3 for this year.. G0 going in QX6850 etc

[chunkylover77]

Just preordered. Always like to support the companies that take the time to come on to our forum and answer any questions.

[billdavis]

OT
when will tankguys have teamgroup ddr3??

Will the ones we ship be G0? Yes.

Does that necessarily mean they will ship in July? No.

The latest I've heard from Intel is that the Q6600's transition to G0 in July. However, this isn't 100% certain, and there's still the issue of acquiring them specifically, and not the B3's still hanging around.

The best we can say right now is that yes, we will ship G0's, but we can't say for sure when.

If you can ship G0 Q6600 for around $280 around early-Aug w/ no Tax, I'm in

[GameGuru]

Just put myself on the waiting list

[zerazax]

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this myself

[elec999]

Can you tell if the cpu is g0. When buying.
Thanks

[Ashraf]

Just reserved one! I hope I was not late.
