But overclockers uk are getting the entire of Europes allocation so it doesnt matter

lol OcUK is a great store but i don't believe that for a second

i remember one time they got a certain brand of graphics card in and said they are the only etailer in the UK/Europe to have it but yet i saw it on a couple other sites in stock and all

True, even im considering not waiting now since EE6600 @ £230 is far too temping/it also allows motherboards even as high priced as the Asus board to be picked up almost!

I think Ocuk prices will match/drop eventually....

Give it even 2 months more and id say prices of some decent mobos will turn up.

id deffo go Conroe if SLI mobos were available.

Woop! I just talked to a guy on a competitor's site and he told me that the CPUs will be arriving in stock on the Friday 14th July and they will deliver it "Next Day" on the Monday 17th July! Though he said that its not guaranteed 100% but that is the date from Intel. So that basically confirms what The Inq said earlier! Hopefully OcUK will have the CPUs available by then too :cool:

Here is the log if you want to have a read...

[11:03:46] <Moneeb> Hi there, I have a question about the E6600
[11:04:42] <Moneeb> On the Core 2 Duo page it shows the release date as the 24th of July, however when I click "Buy Now" the delivery options show Monday 17th july
[11:04:58] <Moneeb> Is that an error in advertising or is the actual release date on the Friday the 14th July
[11:05:29] <Dan - Rep Code 0642> Monday is the next delivery day after release date.
[11:05:49] <Dan - Rep Code 0642> We get them on the friday.
[11:05:57] <Moneeb> I see, so the CPUs will be released on Friday the 14th and be delivered on the 17th
[11:06:04] <Dan - Rep Code 0642> Yes
[11:06:14] <Moneeb> So they are not in stock yet?
[11:06:23] <Moneeb> But will be on Friday

[11:06:35] <Dan - Rep Code 0642> Yes
[11:07:30] <Moneeb> Ok thanks Dan, by the way, is it 100% sure that the CPUs will be available to buy on the 14th of July?
[11:08:16] <Dan - Rep Code 0642> It is never guaranteed, but this is the date we have from intel.
[11:09:14] <Moneeb> Alright, thats good to know

As you can see, I made sure that the release date is the 14th

EDIT: Btw I'm "Moneeb", Yep that's my name

Will overclockers be getting these in:

Asrock CONROEXFIRE-eSATA2 775 2x PCI-E / DUAL CH DDR2 / CONROE & DUAL CORE / 945P / SATA(II) RAID / ATX MOTHERBOARD

Also if they do will they be able to do it for around £47.90?

Harrigan · 11 Jul 2006 at 12:08

Sweet, I get paid on the 14th...surely that's an omen

Voltage · 11 Jul 2006 at 13:05

they are with hacked drivers

do you mean dodgy?

there is nothing dodgy about the modded drivers as hundreds of users on XS and elsewhere have proven :cool:

Voltage · 11 Jul 2006 at 13:40

hmm, id rather have the REAL thing.

killer_uk · 11 Jul 2006 at 13:42

Latest update from OcUK is that they are released 24th July.

Tokenbrit · 11 Jul 2006 at 13:43

If competitors start shipping before ocuk, their order book is going to empty real fast

.

Voltage · 11 Jul 2006 at 13:46

OCUK will not release later than other places, its the 24th.

Iraklis F.C. · 11 Jul 2006 at 13:59

do we have any idea on the amount of cpus ocuk will receive? i am tempted to pre order one but i dont wanna be left in the cold waiting for the new shipment to arrive , as it is just a few days before arrival...

Jay_t · 11 Jul 2006 at 14:18

I have spoken to OCUK about the release date & they have said 14th - 24th of July. I have also spoken to 2 other competitors who both said 14th. I would seem that they should be available this Friday!

killer_uk · 11 Jul 2006 at 14:47

Really, I was told via a webnote that release was still on for 24th. That was like an hour ago.

Does anyone know when they are released?
