    They have stated that they were having trouble getting a sample. Some guy in Hong Kong was trying to sell them one for an outrageous $1400.00 (An Engineering Sample)
    Now they're at the Egg.

    That was with the Intel branded Water cooling solution. (120MM Radiator)
    What would those temps be with the type of home built extra capacity water cooling that so many here prefer? (240MM or higher)

    After reading a few reviews here and there, I'm kinda disappointed with the performance of SB-E in terms of gaming performance like BF3 and Crysis 2, its neck and neck with 2600k in most review I've read. Not too sure what the rest thinks about SB-E, would like to hear from you guys.

    IMO you shouldn't look at the gaming performance of the chip look at everything else first, when the new GPU's get released PCI 3.0 then come back and see what this new platform can do, in regards to gaming.

    It would be nice to see them get off of their butts and finally release 3.0 cards.
