Ivy Bridge...How much?

- Start date
We shall hold the very low pricing for a few days, so fine to collect on Monday.
Will we still get the 'very low' pricing if we ORDER for DELIVERY on Monday afternoon?
Very desperate to know this.
I think with the increase of potential OC on air people saw from Nehalem to SB, people expected another increase, but instead they got a decrease, so people are upset.
Haven't heard of these before. Are they the new 'must have' coolers, or are they a bit gimmicky?
But this isnt a step change from SB - its the same logical architecture on a different design rule with a great big iGP. There are plenty of other things in the world to get upset about than the chance to buy the worlds most advanced 1+billion transistor CPU for only £160.
@redeye_uk, They are the newer kid on the block but do a very good job as can be seen here.

Either Alpenfohn K2, Thermalright Silver Arrow or Noctua D14 would have been my next choice but the K2 went up in price so hardly anything in it between that and the Phanteks which performs slightly better.

Well if you say 4.5Ghz is good for a new chip then so be it.
I don't think we'll know until first of all we find out how the retail chips do and then after some time get a feeling for just how many people have managed to get good 24/7 clocks. To me something over 4 at stock volts would be 'good'.
If hardly anyone ends up overclocking then the SB supporters can say 'I told you so' but its too early to call. Anyway, I don't really know how good SB was on average across many chips - but that's a true comparison for me.

2500k's were about 4.6Ghz minimum with good air cooling, maybe 4.5Ghz with a very poor chip. Average was probably 4.8Ghz with good chips hitting 5Ghz on air and very good chips and a lot of volts upto 5.3Ghz.

I would be using this if I could find one for sale. Definately the best air cooler on trhe market just pipping the NH-D14 which I will most likely get.
You got same email as me LOL
