NVIDIA nForce 590/680i For Conroe, Where Are They? HERE!

[McParty]

Sorry Slim.... I can't make it out. What's it say??

 

[slim142]

fixed... 8)

 

[McParty]

So you plan on getting it Friday? The price hasn't dropped yet!

 

[slim142]

Tomorrow most e-tailers will have it in stock (eastluna and a couple more [I hope that ZZF gets them too]) so thats first strike, second strike will be on monday with Newegg so that means

WAR :lol:

 

[McParty]

LOL, Good luck!!

I went to newegg, zzf, page computers and a half a dozen others... put everything I needed (still to buy) in carts and added shipping... In this case ZZF won.
I should order in a day or two! Tops!

 

[slim142]

Hey! why you saying ZZF won? 😀 just want to know...

so that means you are getting the striker-extrem! yay! 😀

 

[McParty]

LOL....no no!!
I went to all those places and put everything I still needed into carts and added the shipping cost.
When I was done I wrote down the total if I bought everything from one place. ZZF won, they were the cheapest. Ram, CPU, Motherboard and DVD burner.

And no...no Striker for me! I will probably stick with the EVGA board.

 

[slim142]

thats great, but I still dont know what motherboard you are gonna get...

 

[McParty]

LOL, edited last post!

The EVGA board most likely! I just can't justify spending more that $250 for ANY motherboard right now!

 

[slim142]

Oh well thats a great board too, just make sure to update the BIOS once you get it 😀

 

[McParty]

UH OH!! Hey Slim.... they started another 680i string!! LOL People probably see how long this string is and say " I don't want to search through that string for my answer!!" LOL

[slim142]

Thats the fourth or fifth one I think.... still this one is the only one who really matters 😛

 

[Truekeeper]

Ok guys, i just tired of waiting.

I hope i can get the striker this early december.

 

[slim142]

Me too,

DAMN! I need money hehe

 

[slim142]

ZZF had them In Stock yesterday at 9:30pm EST Time, I think it didnt last not even 30 mins...

NewEgg had them in stock too, from 6:00pm EST time to 9:30pm EST time I think. I remember I saw it In Stock for 2 hours...

I think ZZF and Newegg are playing with us, I bet they have hundreds of them already, but they are just putting 10 in stock each week so we get desesperate and buy them no matter what the price is...

Thats what I think.

 

[reducereuserecycle]

youre a pretty patient guy slim, i pulled my trigger over 2 weeks ago

 

[slim142]

Im patient but not because I want to but because my father said so! 🙁

Once I get the striker extreme Im gonna be doing full overclocking, I know what I said before guys but since 2.4Ghz is staying behind, Im gonna have to push my CPU to 2.8 or probably 3.0Ghz 😀

 

[McParty]

A quiet couple of days!! Any news anyone??

As it turns out, my card it running at good temps, according to other owners.. I was thinking though, of putting two fans in the side panel (as there are none now); maybe one above the other. That way, one will blow the warm air from the card out, and blow cool air in above to the hsf. Or maybe I'll just put both blowing in. I took off the zalman to see if I did have too much as5 on it, ooooh no, I didn't have enough. As it turns out, the center wasn't making contact at all. So I put some more as5 on both the hsf and cpu and put it back on. From what I can tell, the temp was 2-3 lower than before. I'm hoping in the coming week I'll see my idle temps around 28-30C. A funny thing happened, I downloaded 3DMark05 and ran it getting a score of 13,000+. But for some odd reason I ran it again and received a message saying that it was out of date and my score was really low around 2500+. I downloaded the 06 version thinking I'd just use that, and it said I had drivers that were not supported. So I go to their website and no 8000 series drivers to be found. I guess I'll try and update 05 and use that in the meantime. Btw, those are oem scores. I haven't OCed yet, and probably wont for another week.

 

[McParty]

Thanks for the update!! I guess you're not having any of those problems I've been reading about with the evga boards?? That really is great!

I have been patiently waiting.. Newegg was supposed to have some in today (12/5) @ 3pm (ETA on website said date + time).... so starting about 2:45 I brought up the item and kept refreshing the page to see it go from out of stock to in stock. At exactly 3pm it went from ETA 12/06/06 14:58:00 to "OUT OF STOCK".

Either they didnt get them or they got snagged up before I could get a chance to refresh the page.

Most other sites I have been checking dont show this board to be available until 12/22/06 or later... Blah. Are they only making 1 board a day?

Guess I will have to be more patient..... of course, that evga board is looking nicer and nicer every day .... *ponder*

 

[McParty]

Preecher... The way Newegg has inflated the price, you might want to check out a few other websites, eastluna.com. zipzoomfly.com most of them have a notify me you can sign up for plus they aren't raking you and your visa over the coals "pricewise"!! LOL

I can't guarantee they have stock, but Antares Digital has been a dream to work with. For some reason they don't show up on Froogle or other shopping engines. Their web page may list stock when it is sold out but their customer service (Lili) is extremely helpful.

My motherboard shows as having shipped from them tonight (Monday). I don't know if they have just filled a bunch of back orders or if they have more on hand. They're worth checking out.

 

[ScarletSpider]

Well, I'm only using a single sata drive. I think those guys are having problems with theirs in raid with 2+ sata drives. I think I got my board via ZZF, and it came 3 days later.

 

[McParty]

Another Striker Review....
