-to big to say it all- i can only use up to 4 lines
Hey! I didnt say anything after your postFunny how R3 knows these things, shares it with fellow XS Members and the is hated on...
Contact Sidewinders, I know they can help you out
I'll be gaming in 7 days. Can't wait till next shipment. I'll hold out for frozencpu or just use the ek sb/sb 5 and 6 that are arriving today.
Bucky at frozencpu hooked me upBlock is being shipped today and will be here for Tuesday with 2 Day fedex
Sweet. Really wanted to compare what BP does vs the EVGA one, though BP probably has my vote due to the sweet balck plating.R3 will be posting internal shots later on today...
So the 790i NB/SB is out, and the 790i digital mosftet is coming soon? Awaiting these goodies to put my new 790 ftiw digital on water.
Digital mosfet were in stock until 11am I believe. I guess you will have to wait 7-10 days for the next shipment.

If people dont want to listen, let them suffer
Is it that bp can only afford to make a few blocks at a time ?
What's up with only sending Gary 5 blocks ?
So far customer service from bp looks pitiful and it's a shame cause the have some really nice products. My 2 cents
Well, Vincent mentioned demand was big in Taiwan and thats why they probably had few left to send.
Im pretty sure the next shipment will have enough for everybody.
Dengyong, you seem pretty negative...
RIG 1 (in progress):
Core i7 920 @ 3GHz 1.17v (WIP) / EVGA X58 Classified 3X SLI / Crucial D9JNL 3x2GB @ 1430 7-7-7-20 1T 1.65v
Corsair HX1000 / EVGA GTX 295 SLI / X-FI Titanium FATAL1TY Pro / Samsung SyncMaster 245b 24" / MM H2GO
2x X25-M 80GB (RAID0) + Caviar 500 GB / Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RC1 Build 7100
RIG 2:
E4500 @ 3.0 / Asus P5Q / 4x1 GB DDR2-667
CoolerMaster Extreme Power / BFG 9800 GT OC / LG 22"
Antec Ninehundred / Onboard Sound / TRUE / Vista 32
Have I been wrong ?
It has been a recent trend to market products that take six months + to release. Sad part is after months and months of hype they can't deliver at least 50 peices.
/I just want a good Intel solution...
maybe because 5 wont sell?
Incase you forgotten i7 is due in 3 weeks.
Gary also knows about hera, which is probably why he's preping his inventory for the change also.
Rick if the 790i is in your price tag, an i7 with X58 is not that far from it. So chances are you'll be going on the i7 and X58 if you have the 790i.
This is probably why they have a limited supply. Remember i told vincent this.
You guys are funny.
You have 2 options.
Option 1: You buy this block, and stay on your yorkfield platform
Option 2: you upgrade to i7 and X58 forgo this block and end up spending a little more from your pocket.
Option 2 is SOOOOOOOOO much better, hence why gary's smart move to make a limited supply.
I forgot option 3.
Option 3: doesnt apply to me anymore because of my black hole sucking budget hera, You get this and i7 and you bling bling on XS.
Only a few people would fall under option 3.

It's not trolling when you call someone out on lies and the world wide recall you speak of is still relatively small quantity and it took forever.
I have trolled no more than you with your FAKE inside info.
Yes you were wrong !
How many next weeks were actually next week ?
Fake it somewhere else...
Apology accepted.Jealousy is running rampant today....
dengyong...
i know your pain.
Andy and i both went Rant mode on vincent.
But its really gary's choice on how many he can get.
Wait til you see the price on it, and see if you do happen to buy one or if they get sold out.
My guess, people who are unaware of the i7 launch will get one. People who do know about it will wait.
People with xtra money on spending will get both.
Thats how the economy works my friend. We are not back in last year were surplus was a good thing.

I had fully intended to buy the set, but the smoke and mirrors have turned me off.
I plan on building a new high end i7 rig when the market settles down and all the facts are in.
Yep, other people were buying them direct from Taiwan as well.
I'm going to stop the argument now before the powers that be get pissed.
Early on Vincent also mentioned releasing 780i blocks shortly after the 790i was released, anyone heard any updates concerning those? I believe he said at the time that they would be released a couple weeks after the 780i, but it wasn't a definite date, more of a rough guestimate. That was also back before a bunch of other things happened, so I'm not expecting to see the blocks for a bit, but any updated info would be nice.
Curiosity was framed, Ignorance killed the cat.
As with any new architecture, many people would be hesistent to jump on the bandwagon until the first generation mobo kinks are ironed out.
Having said that, companies like Swiftech, and now BP, have a track record of being "late to market" with their engineered products and yet they do fabulously well. Its much better to get something right before release than to rush a product to market, and four revisions later, still doesn't work very well. Won't name any names, but we know who that manufacturer is.
It seems to me that the trick is not to be tied down to mobo specific blocks but to use universal blocks that tend to be readily transferrable to any new fanagled mobo.

does the 790 fit without any mods?I know, but apparently it would be deemed FAKE info....

In a pinch, why can't anybody order straight from BP or some other Asian web store? I'm pretty sure that they are in stock n Asia.
It looks like basically the people that would be sticking with 780i & 790i boards will be getting the shaft then just because a handful in comparrison will be going i7 then? Hardly seems worth not bringing out a product for if you ask me. I'd buy these over EK or anybodys but won't if they don't make them obviously. I don't plan to go i7 for a long time more than likely.
