Sighhh, any other online retailer?
I got the 3 day shipping because any faster and Newegg was trying to give it to me up the... Hopefully mine comes Monday, but I figure it'll be Tuesday. I ordered at like 8 AM CST, so it definitely shipped today. I'm going to hope some people have good results using some 4770k's, and then I'm going to drive over to my local MicroCenter and hopefully grab a close batch.
Edit: I just checked the tracking info... Apparently Saturday isn't a day UPS works because the three day delivery is scheduled for Wednesday.

Happy benching
Local shipper for all of Newegg's Cali shipments.What is ontrac Zen?
Happy benching
Lucky bastards. I've got to wait until next week to even get my board because I live in IL and it shipped from Cali.
dont be jelly.
packaging/protection was quite impressive. be advised, you have to clip off some zip ties that secure it within the foam layer of protection. Also, be careful when taking the clear protective skin off of the oled display
no biggie, i put it right back on, no dust behind it, seals good enough i guess. no harm no foul.

Suckers. The board is trash.
Jk!
glue on. glue that seems to have the same stickyness and consistancy of a dried soda. dont know if its a good thing or bad thing. bad, it came off to begin with, good its still sticky/tacky enough to put back on with minimal effort. not a big deal at all in any sense... if you looked you would never know. no bubbles, dust, fingerprints, nothing.clip-on or glue-on ?

ok guys update your bios to the one Splave is listing as latest.
anyways... bbseasy. testing higher now, this is just first touch. the efficency is definately there with this board. going to load up xp now and get it rockin'
4 slot single sided bdbg was not fun though. will give it another shot but it was not cooperating at all the first time.

What batch is that 4770k and how's it clocking for you? The OC Formula should easily push that chip, and now I'm really sure I bought the best board. I knew if the Z87 clocked ram like the Z77 did, then I'd be set. Now I know.
2666 bbse - sort of tight subs. getting tigher as I keep testing at this freq
sorry i gotta fix the aida64 install.
