Question: I preordered the 4790K from Amazon and it hasn't shipped yet (it is release date) and now showing as sold out - was preorders oversold?
Document: I ordered one day shipping and it still hasn't been shipped yet. There is an issue with ordering these. So don't expect to have it by the end of the week. I would suggest going to a Frys or Tiger Direct store and just picking it up. I went to Frys and they had 5 available. I am rating this down one star due to Amazon and the shipper failing to get my product to me on time.The product itself is amazing and worth everything penny.
So, regardless of how early you preordered this from amazon you will not be getting yours until amazon fixes whatever issues they are having.Every other retailer has them in stock, and is shipping at a lower price than the $379 preorder. After being lied to by 2 reps, I got notice that my CPU did NOT ship yesterday as planned. They have no idea why, and will just leave my order open.
I am quite satisfy with this CPU. I think I can lower the loading temperature more if a more powerful cooler is installed. Overall, I am quite satisfy with Amazon service. Thanks !! !
Sold my 4770k and bought this one. Glad I did it runs cooler and I only cost about $35 extra from what I sold my old cpu for. I have a corsair h80 and my 4770k hit 91degrees at only 4ghz. This 4970k cpu at 4.4ghz tops out at 72 degrees with the same h80  cooler.
This thing is incredible. Super fast clock speeds with low temps on cheap after market cooler. I got mine from my local Micro Center for $279, and I don't know why it's so expensive on Amazon. None the less, I recommend it!
I recently purchased this CPU because I was having some video issues on my AMD FX-8350 build. I would get this micro stutter when panning left or right in any of the latest release games or games that require a mid to high range video card to run (Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, Far Cry 3, Metro 2033 etc.)
Amazing product! Mine is being shipped to me now, so I hope to have it soon to verify if my review is actually valid. Someone's whining about reviewing without ever using an item convinced me to post a review before actually handling the product though :)
Sucks that I'd have to buy a whole new motherboard (that costs about as much as the cpu) just for a 5% improvement over 4770k. This is why I only upgrade once every 2 die shrinks (~5 years, prob not until 2017 for next one) when there's probably next gen sata/ram/ssd/vid card/etc as well. No longer necessary to upgrade every release like back in the 1990's when every release was almost 30-50% more speed.
preordered it since june 16 cant wait for it to arrive, ill be posting my over clocking results soon.
I was very happy when I received the Boxed 4790K CPU. The batch no. is L352C120. I searched in google and found that L352C120 is not so good in overclocking compare to L4 batch no. However, I tested this CPU in my ASUS Maximus VI. The default VID for 4.4Ghz is only around 1.185V. I overclocked it finally to 4.6Ghz @ 1.21V with memory running 2200Mhz (9-9-10-24-1T) stable with Prime95 for 10minutes.
Answer: Amazon did over sell the pre-orders. They also marketed is such a way as to steal customers from other companies. This is illegal under the Federal Trade Commission act.  http://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/statutes/federal-trade-commission-act. Please feel free to file a complaint. I have screen shots as I'm sure many of you do. I pre-ordered on the 14th due to the way Amazon marketed this product. This was strategic and calculated by someone in upper management.
