Yeah mines gone although I will be getting it a bit later then most as I am in Channel Islands and used DPD. I ordered about 10 minutes after Gibbo announced there arrival ie about 13:30

nice to hear that, I'm about to order tonight and hopefully can receive my SB on Friday

Order what? See the above posts.

Clearly OCUK jumped the gun. There does seem to have been a lot of confusion over this launch. Intel seem to be all over the place.

Hope OCUK have not gotten into trouble. They are, after all, the best specialist etailer in the country

There is more information about the mess up here - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18224606&page=3. Intel failed at proper communication by the sounds of things.

Nah they will be OK... I am glad I got my order in as it was killing me to have to wait until Sunday.

Now I can sit back and wait, just hope my MSI 5850 arrives tommorow as it was sent Special delivery on the 31st and is still not here!

I was going to order one, but on second thoughts, they are a little outside my price range

I guess I'll just try again on the 9th

nataku17 · 5 Jan 2011 at 17:59

i might as well just hold on i guess, the price may be lower at official release and as the graphics card i am after is still on pre order guess there is no rush

FlukeRogi · 5 Jan 2011 at 18:22

I was still umming and arring over what ram to get when I found out my CPU and MB have shipped.

Still can't decide if it's worth getting 8gig, or whether to just stick with 4.

Gibbo did confirm on official release there won't be any price change.

Each to their own..

MikeHunt79 · 5 Jan 2011 at 18:38

So what special about this Sandy Bridge then? I'm still on S775, so what are the biggest differences? 32nm?

chippy08 · 5 Jan 2011 at 18:39

How much was the ASUS P8P67 Motherboard ?

PCM2 · 5 Jan 2011 at 18:40

£129 or so inc VAT.

Probably explains the confusion over NDA, get in some early orders before people can realise they've been overcharged.
