Uk mate, just see what happens now.

I've got 2 x 2TB Hybrid HDD's on order, so hopefully they will work without issue as they are newer drives, think Gigabyte should be aware of this boot problem anyway.

I've wanted a pair of the hybrid's for a while, at least this was a good excuse to grab them :D
 
Thinking of my 5820K as a stopgap until Broadwell -E next year :) A cheap alternative to Z97 setup, only the DDR4 was more expensive, but even DDR3 prices are going up now. 5820K is a lil beast.

So far most with Haswell -E chips 4.5Ghz seems to be about average, when Broadwell -E launches I'll make the jump to an 8 core and I imagine those will be capable of better clocks etc.

Hopefully have a bios that works by then as well ;)

Do you think BDW-E will be delayed? Cause K chips are supposed to launch around about the same time the Es would. :/

It should release next year around the same time Haswell -E came this year. E chip seem to always come in Q4.

For me the 5820K + UD4 was a cheap way to get on the platform, next year I'll likely buy the top chip, as I think it will be worth it. Top chip could be 14nm '8core / 16thread' or '10core / 20thread' monster that should clock well and be less power use.

Haswell -E should be more interesting than Broadwell / Skylake as they just seem to be focusing on IGPU progress on the mainstream. Seems the best choice Haswell -E > Broadwell -E..
