Fred, Thank you very much for your interest! As you said, there are no reviews on this product. We have sold fewer of these units than we have sold other units and most of those were fairly recent. We take the same care and pride (if not, more... much more) in building these systems and they have the same standard warranty for 3 years and the same excellent customer service and customer care. We can only attest proof to our customer service based on the reviews found on our top-selling computer, found here: http://www.amazon.com/AAC-X4-Desktop-Computer-Processor-Bulldozer/dp/B005J0R4D2/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=ABBVAFMMPFLUN but we can assure you that this computer is made with more care and testing than any of our other computers because of how immensely powerful it is.

Yes, I have been using this CPU personally for several months now. No issues at all.

I pre-ordered the 4690K (i5) from Amazon too, and it hasn't shipped yet either. I placed the order several weeks in advance. The CS Rep I spoke to said that they hadn't received their stock yet, which I find... hard to believe.

No!! I guess you wont be able to find any Box Ver. (NEW) in the market since this product was EOL(End Of Life) almost 2 years already. The CPU from VT-STAR are NEW but OEM Ver. We bought 10+pcs from them for Upgrading our Office Computers and NONE of them have problem. You can easily get a Cooling Fan for this CPU in Amazon if you need it and it wont cost too much($10-15).

Intel reps on the community forums indicate they are aiming for more to come in stock around the end of this month. They did not anticipate the overwhelming demand of this model. Additionally, this specific "model" number is likely being refreshed as DN2830xxxx (they are upgrading the SoC to N2830, which has a few interesting chipset features the 2820 does not have). So, in summary, it is possible this model (2820) is being replaced by a hardware refresh and will not come back in stock. Either way, expect more of this class of NUC (The DN28yyxxxx series) to come in stock hopefully around late April. Takes time to have them built, shipped, and stocked; my guess is their primary supplier(s) are in China, hence the large to-market lag time.

8 in. Quad core for $160. Couldn't pass it up. I've had it for a couple months now. No problems.

Unless you pick it out at a retail store such as the Microsoft Store or Best Buy, you cannot be guaranteed the new CPU. However, in reality, there is no perceptible difference between the CPUs except on some arcane benchmarks. Real world use will show no difference. But I respect your desire for the "latest and greatest" and applaud you for asking this intelligent question.

If im honest, I will not even consider any laptop with AMD A4 chip inside nor anything from Intel's Centrino or Pentium CPUs.I made a top 10 Notebooks aimed for customers looking in getting as much performance and value for their dollar. I'll post it on the next comment.

If you buy it new you get a year, there are a couple of vendors that claim a lifetime warranty, but the price probably covers it, and some only give you 30 days on the used ones. Again, I believe it comes down to the vendor, but Intel does give a year to three years depending on the model

The stock heatsink and fan that comes with the cpu works fine for me and I have it installed in one of those very compact htpc cases (Antec ISK-100) over a year now. This processor is NOT the overclocked version which is usually called the (K) model so I don't see why it would be necessary to have a third party state of the art heatsink and fan. I guess if you purchased the overclocked cpu version of this processor and planned on pushing it to the limits then I would recommend finding a much better heatsink and fan unit over the stock model. I have a really nice and expensive Cool Master heatsink and fan unit on a desktop computer and I don't see any difference in performance or heating issues over the stock heatsink and fan with the exception of more noise that the Cool Master makes because of it's larger and faster fan. I'm sorry to say, I was once bitten by the performance bug when building that ole desktop and should have just saved the money and go stock instead.

Hi, I don't know for sure if I am going to sell it or not. I purchased it for $299 with free shipping on tuesday. It was shipped on wednesday and it arrived today(thursday). Fastest turnaround for any product I ever ordered on Amazon. Looks like a really neat computer. Thanks for the offers and the input.

Yes if you bought it in the retail box. Historically failure rates for CPU is rare unless you are an extreme overclocker and/or the heatsink fan fell off (in which case the CPU still shuts down automatically to prevent failure).

They told me that the boards are either refurbished or pulled out of units that didn't sell. The one they sent me worked for about 5 minutes before it crashed. I could never get the laptop to stay running with it so I sent it back. I ended up buying a new laptop and scrapped the hp, which sucked because those were expensive computers when they were new. As far as whether it will work in your model, you can probably e-mail the sell with that question if you're still interested. They were okay to work with and were willing to refund my money.

Yes, but I'm bemused you are more interested in the sticker than the performance of this cpu!. For the record, I just 'upgraded' from my trusty FX9590 and Asus Formula Z to this 4790K and Asus Z97WS mobo which cost me £500 and has given me nothing but hassle. Check out my Amazon review 'over-hyped, over-priced and a pain in the neck'.
