Impressive shipping time. Shipped to Canada 10 days from order placement. Even stuff from WITHIN Canada doesn't ship that fast. Of several dozen orders from overseas, this is the single fastest shipping time yet. Processor itself is great. With a proper board, this particular chip was able to maintain 4.3GHz single core and 4.2GHz on all 8 cores. *Note you'll need a god board to avoid VRM throttling. Recommended to get at least a half decent Z370/Z390 board as they have beefier components (CPU IS locked though, so dont expect OC past BCLK of about ~102.). It's not without bugs, as any ES CPU will be, it had a little trouble with RAM at first but a little tweaking speeds and voltages fixed that. Overall quite impressed.
