***INTEL COMET LAKE 10TH SERIES NOW AVAILABLE!!***

Wow! I've always stuck to Intel chips in the past apart from a brief dalliance with an Athlon 1200 but I'd be hard pressed to recommend them to anyone right now at these launch prices.
Each to their own I suppose. I guess the majority of sales for these chips will come in OEM builds rather than custom built kit, but you're right, some people will always stick to a known brand.

Will these ship by the 20th? If not, when?

Are all units available?

Thanks in advance!

Yes we have stock but that stock is pre-selling, we shall be shipping all orders on 20th. If you want to ensure you get one then you need to order sooner rather than later as supply is tight at the moment.

Hey Gibbo if i was to buy one of the new Intel pre-built pcs how long would they take to ship roughly? 5-10 days?

Thanks.

Will the orders shipping on the 20th be in theory arriving on the 21st? Also when are the Asus Z490 Motherboards shipping, I can’t seem to see online any quoted release dates for shipping for them. Thanks for your help!

Only difference is the F variant doesn't come with on board graphics. In theory, this is one less thing to make heat so lower temperatures and longer boost. In practice, no difference in the real world and each as likely as the other to win the silicon lottery and run better.

We only really tried K upto now. All ES where K and we are binning K right now. Previous gen k was better... Like I say this not sure...

'No the 6700k is dead, unfortunately. I bought an Aquacomputer Dr Delid tool that failed to remove the cpu and started to bend the piece that pushes the heat spreader, where the bolt touches. I triple checked I was doing it right, and couldn't find an issue, but it just wouldn't budge the heat spreader. I didn't have a razor blade so used a sharp knife from there. I managed to gouge the pcb on one edge and that seems to be enough to destroy the cpu. Black screen on start up. My fault for not being patient and ordering a razor blade!'

Thanks

TL;DR: Idiocy. Quite a shame as I'd just upped the OC from 4.5 to 4.8 (with 1.44V, it was not a golden chip) and it removed the stutters I was getting in AC Odyssey targeting 60fps. Would have been interesting to see how long it lasted with voltage that many seem to consider "too high". It was at 80C with a Corsair H100i v2 under stress test, which is not crazy. Oh well.

Thanks for that 8 Pack. Re-reading my post I should have made it clear I was talking about the difference between K and F variants in general (i.e. previous gen chips). Hope I didn't mislead anyone into thinking I had insider knowledge about these new ones!
