You guys, X79 and socket 2011 is not going to be on its way out for a very long time. I think A lot of people will skip Haswel-E considering small advancement they're making..weeewhoooo 2 more cores!!! I think most E users will hold off until new techs come into play before abandoning their X79 platforms.

Patience young jedi......

Another day rapidly passing by with no word yet...

I don't know what everyone's definition of patience is, but I think I've been pretty patient since March.  I do want this board and I do want it to be right, but I want my SB-E CPU to still be under warranty when I finally get to use it...

AKA clever way to buy another week. What will the excuse be next week? It's on the truck!

"Close" is a subjective term in this case. That's why "close" really doesn't matter. Something specific like a date or timeframe with specific dates. I'm shocked people still fall for the carrot leading the horse each week. That's how it's been and nothing so far concrete has been shown otherwise.

Best case scenario is this was a complete blunder with handling in regards to reaching out and explaining the situation to the customers. Product ships sometime to customers this week.

Worst case scenario lying to your customers simply to buy time. Lying to your customers and knowingly selling faulty products. This would mean your buisness model has changed and I for one would run as far away from EVGA as possible.

I personally have assured 1 of 2 possibilities for myself. Either I end up getting a fully working product that I paid for or I'll see EVGA in court to fight for my money back. Now I just sit and see which happens first.

BTW, the boards are still expected this week.

I should add that once the boards are unloaded they have to reach the EVGA warehouse, be counted... in some cases tested before being released etc.  For those that think a business works magic by snapping their fingers, I suspect you live in a dream world.
 
Meanwhile, head to the local Taco joints, snap you fingers and get your product.  Might take ya a bit but heck... ya know it's instant gratification.
 

Actually I'm a truck driver and I do a lot of work at the ports. Los Angeles ports specifically. It doesn't take nearly as long as you think. You can unload a whole ship filled with containers within hours and all those containers on a truck heading to their destination that same day. No magic or snapping of fingers needed. The port and rail systems are quite efficiant. This is normal operation, not as if its fast if you're lucky.

From Port (if Los Angeles) 12 hours to 1 day tops. The rest is all EVGA's hold up. The suspected testing, hours of operation and such. So until they have a solid date ( which they don't have so neither will we) it will be nothing but stall tactics which I called long ago in earlier posts.

End cap mentality is what I call it.  We now know EVGA will also be flashing the BIOS to the latest version.  That will take a bit of time.  I don't see how this is stalling.  I shall call it what it is and not what you wish to define it as.  This is getting it right and making sure the customer gets the product they expect.
 
You don't brew a beer in a day.  That much I know as a home brewer. 

Actually I have one batch (a La Fin du Monde) in the fermenter that should have been racked 6 days after brew day.  It's not ready yet and at the rate it's going it's hard to say when it will be.  Maybe a week, maybe two weeks.  It depends on the conditions.  Perhaps after that I might actually be able to say it only needs two weeks in the secondary then bottle it and I'm good.
 
My point is... I don't see EVGA being shady any more than I see the combination of yeasts and sugars being deceptive in their time to complete the fermentation process.  It takes patience and time and careful crafting to make things. 

No what I'm saying is... even the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.  I understand your thoughts and your thought process.  However to call a company shady because the product time line slipped is a bit of a stretch I think.  However, believe as you will. 
 
I hear that Kingpin says things might happen today. 
 
I'm also hoping this will put the final nail in the coffin and close the door completely on an event that favored neither the owner or the manufacturer. 

Looks like we might be able to get our hands on some boards next week. Getting AMP'd to try this thing out!

Dude, relax.....

Goku has a point.

People need to chill out and understand delays happen. A lot of you act as if you want another x79 disaster where things don't work properly. So what if they delayed the motherboards multiple times and for 8 months? If it really affected you that much you would have already purchased a different brand.

I am relaxed. Proving my point doesn't mean I'm agitated or irate.

that means you're not relaxed
