On sale now in USA. 394$ = £250, I think they'll come in at £320 though.

I work for an Intel owned company and today we got an email to let us know we can buy Haswell's from the 1st June under the employee purchase program. So I guess the shop that's selling these chips above could be genuine, or at most their stock is 2 week away. I just bought an i7 3770k though, but it was only 160 euro which was too good a price to ignore. Hoping I don't regret it when Haswell launches.

The distributor employee gains, I'd of got the 3930k - the price was irresistible!

Pricing is competitive on the OC mate and its a great board. I have helped with it myself. The bios is rocking for Overclocking with great memory clocking and BLK.

Good know. Can't wait until June...this upgrade itch needs scratching!

nice that gigabyte are going matt black for all their boards now, last pc I built for me has a m3 and that is same color, looks nice I think,

like to see other colors too, luminous or UV white would be so awesome, don't see why they couldn't^^

if we are only going to see 10-15% performance each year lets atleast make them better looking huh! hehe

This guy seemed pretty genuine is spilling the overclock beans on Haswell:
http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-cDEK1_DKM

In summary like many others he is sceptical on the 5GHz @ 0.9v based on what he has seen*, and basically breaks NDA to state '4.6 - 4.7GHz at a much higher voltage, 5GHz needing at least 1.4v'. Damn that's what it boils down to folks all this chat about overclock features and potential is looking like a lot of hot air with very little tangible gains over IvyB.

*Unofficial, unconfirmed, but pretty convincing.

I'm pretty sure it's been stated multiple times that 0.9v isn't the correct voltage.

Zeed · 17 May 2013 at 12:12

BigBANGtheory well thats good news my 2500k is running 1.44v core for like a year now. PLZZZZ do [email protected] so i can buy you

Indeed. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a fool.

Unfortunately your SB processor is much more tolerant to voltage, you can't for example run IvyB @1.4v (without elaborate cooling solutions) afaik due to the sharp increase in temps as you overvolt. We also know from many sources that 'Haswell runs hot like Ivy'. It is reasonable to assume therefore that running a stable Haswell @1.4v or there abouts is not going to be an easy task.

Ok yes I know we are still in a degree of speculation territory here I'm not trying to present this as fact, the picture as its unfolding though seems clearly to be that a 5GHz Haswell whilst not impossible will not be the norm.

1.35v should be the top volts anyone is using 24/7 with Haswell. Especially on HSF. With high end custom water 1.4 tops.

from that - one could presume they get hot like Ivys

darn

WingZero30 · 17 May 2013 at 18:17

Lol so much for all that talk from intel about Haswell incorporating some nice features for overclocking purposes.

russell664 · 17 May 2013 at 18:44

How much would you say the ivybridge equivalent gigabyte, such as the D3H boards would cost for haswell?

Well people were all raving about the maximum to use in Sandy 24/7 was 1.35 in the first few months.

I'd love to throw 1.4v into a Haswell and get 5GHZ.

Does it show load temps?

Click the link matey... don't be lazy

Temps look hotter :eek:

wazza300 · 17 May 2013 at 22:25

I'm on my crappy phone or I would,seems similar to ivy tho

Tackle_Berry · 17 May 2013 at 22:26

Yeah very similar, pretty annoying.
