They are not in retail channel as yet. Early October I believe. I helped launch the board benching live last night. Mine is running very well

So tempted to save up and go for a 4930k and this board!
YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus Rampage IV Extreme Black Edition Intel X79 (Socket 2011) DDR3 Motherboard £389.99
Total : £400.79 (includes shipping : £9.00).
hoping ocuk can do the overclocked bundle with that board so I can get a good chip

Given my recent luck, that's probably not a bad shout regarding a bundle.

Can I ask which cpu you were using and what sort of clocks? I'm really tempted to buy this board and use a 4930k
Seems no one has answered the 4770k vs 4820k question, I've been wondering the same thing as I'm looking at upgrading from sandy bridge(2500k, PC been on Fritz so excuse to upgrade).
Would love to go 4930k but that's almost double the price of the 4820k, thinking maybe go 4820k now then upgrade to 4930k in the future.

With a little help from 8 Pack today I managed to sort out getting my ram to run at full speed while the CPU is at high clock speeds.
We started adjusting VCCSA and I found that more than anything else it needs help in this area when in the initial boot phase. There is a setting in the Asus bios that lets you set this specifically for the initial boot and setting this to 1.3v while normal VCCSA was set to 1.2v enabled my ram to run slightly above stock speed and with the sort of timings that it was capable of with Haswell.
Although with slack timings I could run the ram right up to 2800 - again much the same as with my best 4770K
A little more VCCSA lets me in at 5.0GHz CPU and 2666 ram, but I need a bit more tweaking to make that stable.
Good progress though, showing that with a little tweaking and an 8 Pack in your pocket
Ivy-E can perform extremely well with high memory speeds and normal cooling.

When you say "normal cooling" what cooling are you using for the cpu?

Water... Sorry I was trying to say not sub-zero as most other results I've seen with strong memory are on ln2.
I don't see why this concept would not apply on air though.
4770k + M VI F or 4820k + R IV F(would love the R IV BE but a bit too much at best part of £400)? Will there be much performance difference?
I currently have 16gb(4 x 8gb) corsair vengeance ram(1600mhz c8), will that work on the x79 motherboard or will I need new ram?

I had the same bug on my system but with a 3930k. The VTT voltage and IMC voltage was perfectly stable but I was getting cold boot issues and looped boots, quick tweak of these voltages cured it totally.
