Expected delivery date for Intel 11th gen CPUs

@Gibbo

Will you have enough of these in stock ready to send out for pre-orders? Any idea what timescale for delivery?

I’ve bought a 11900K and it’s the last piece I’m waiting for in my new build. Can’t wait to put it all together!

I’m curious what coolers you other 11900k guys are using? I’ve gone with a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 this time and am hoping it’s up to the job!

Same here, i got everything else, except the GPU... i will have to use my old GPU (an RTX 2070 Super with waterblock)....

If I hadn’t have bought a Reverb G2 I would probably still have a 2070 Super, it was a brilliant card for me at 3440x1440.

Can you play any game with Reverb G2? For example Call of Duty Warzone? Is better than on a very good monitor? Now, if you wouldnt have them, would you buy Reverb or a very good monitor?
Cheers!

I only use the G2 for sim racing and MSFS 2020 in a seated position but the immersion is amazing. I play other games like BF5 etc on monitor at 3440x1440.

Hope everyone that preordered 11900k early gets they CPU tomorrow? My motherboard is ready.

I’ll be very happy if I do. Really looking forward to the build.

I was just going to put my existing M2 drive in the new machine and boot up but now thinking a full fresh OS install is the way to go.

 

[Hypersonix]

Email received too, excited!

 

[Hypersonix]

Fresh install is always best with a new build.

Fresh install it is!

 

[Hypersonix]

Another question for you peeps doing a fresh install. Do you just install Windows with its updates plus motherboard chipset drivers and that’s it or are there any further steps you take before installing everything else?

 

[Hypersonix]

That's all I do. I would say, though, check your motherboard for bios updates. It may have had an 11th gen optimisation update.

Ah yes, I hadn’t thought of bios updates.

 

[Hypersonix]

...putting the "is it worth it"/"you're an idiot for buying one" arguments aside for a moment - does anyone know when OC *are* actually shipping the 11 series?

No email other than order confirmation received, ordered on the 18th, items still showing as "pre-order" on the website...?

Mine will be here between 11 and 12 today.

 

[Hypersonix]

It’s arrived, build time!

@uscool

Do us a favour and log out of the forum, I’m getting a bit ****** off with the negativity.

Thanks

 

[Hypersonix]

What? Its a review like all the other independent reviews.
It isn't negativity if the product is awful for price power and perf, its simply reporting.

I get that, but I don’t want to see it constantly. Some of you have made your point so there’s no need to keep repeating yourself, just let me and the others enjoy what we bought.

sorry my apologies wrong thread

Sorry dude, I didn’t mean to vent at you specifically. I’ve just seen a lot of people putting others down when discussing 11th gen Intel, I don’t think it’s needed or right.
