Agree man. Well said. I have all this stuff just sitting around not knowing if its DOA or not. Hopefully not.
I might put a pre-order in at BLT. Looks like they have chips coming in around 8/28

I would take that ETA with a huge grain of salt.
says $25.76 for priority, I selected the Free ground shipping which oddly now says$13 if I select it nowTheir checkout process is kinda ghetto... And it first quoted $50 to ship via USPS to Puerto Rico (wtf, ever hear of a flat rate box?) but then went to $17 shipping and $8 handling (srsly?) when selecting USPS Priority.
Not sure I wanna bother paying $25 in S&H to pre-order at a place you'd think shouldn't get stock priority over Newegg/Amazon (where I get free shipping)... What do CONUS addresses get charged if you pick Priority instead of free/ground?
Also, damn you Intel.
Australia has plenty of stock of these processors.
One of these review sites just needs to do a definitive 6700k vs 5820k shootout so we can get on with our lives LOL.
as long as they do it with them at the same clock speed. or highest average overclock at decent voltage like sub 1.35v
I would like to see it both ways. A 6700k should clock higher than a 5820k. So while seeing a clock for clock performance is important, I would like to also see how it scales as the clock speed increases.
Yeah I think a benchmark with average safe/high overclock is a good bet. So the 5820k at 4.4 and the 6700k at say 4.8.
Skylake 10% better IPC + with 10% higher clock (just as estimates), but Haswell with 50% more beef.
Hope you realize that is the price for a 5820k and a motherboard.
5820k is 283 or lower at staples after 110% pm to mc, takes 5 mins via chat. Add 170 for a decent mobo.

I gave up and ordered a 6700k from Germany yesterday. ~$450 shipped, but then at this point I'd have ordered rush shipping (and maybe tax) once there was stock here anyways, so I can't count all the $100 as extra cost. I noticed the website says out of stock this morning so fingers crossed mine still ships today.
I already have all my other parts (complete build) and as others have said, I'd be nice to know if anything is DOA before the return period is over. The $50-75 price premium I'll end up paying is worth it to know the other $2k in parts are working. Now if the CPU is DOA, then I guess I'm just really screwed
You are still not being nice though, he already made the purchase why try to make him feel as if he shouldn't have done that.
People on this board will spend tons of extra money color matching RAM and water cooling fittings and he should care that the chip he wanted now is $100 more. I for one am not the budget build kind of person and I would have made the same purchase I was not concerned with the cost, I was only worried about the vendor not actually having the stock to ship.
I for one am tired of people pushing the 5820k, if that is what YOU want go buy one, I know the prices I even have an MC 20 minutes from work, but I dont want it and obviously he didn't either.
I don't think you realize how mean stuff like this can come off as.
Lets try to be happy for everyone
Let us know when it gets here and how long it took.
Just pointing out there are much better deals out there, not to be mean.
Anyone can get get the 5820k for 283 from staples ( if one agent does not oblige the next one will).

Forget skylake, 5820k is 283 at staples after 110% pm to microcenter or less with coupons. X99 boards are easily in the 150-170 range often.Any 5820k will do 4 ghz nice n cool and be good for 4-5 years to come.
Eh. I got my 5820k for $300/tax free last weekend from Microcenter. I'm happy with that. I also got a MSI X99A SLI PLUS motherboard (3 slot SLI w/28 lanes+ USB 3.1) for $179. That's about as good as I'm going to do. Once I get my system setup I'll probably add a 3rd 980Ti.
I was going to go Skylake, but for 4k gaming, I decided Haswell-E is still the better choice.
Tell my why you say that as I am now building a 4K rig
Because he heard it somewhere too.
4K is your graphics card pure and simple.
8x/8x for SLI perfomance is indistuisable from 16x/16x SLI.
Do you think DX12 will change that?
Hmm, newegg now shows the 6700k as "out of stock" instead of pre-release.
