I'm going to spend some time overclocking it after my exams are finished so I'll let you know what I can push it to! I did see your hack for the pump so thanks for doing it, I'll be definitely doing it as soon as I have time as I want to make sure I don't F*ck it up!😂

For anyone wondering where the golden sample 10900k's from LTTs giveaway are, here is my build with it!

MB: Z490 Aorus Elite AC
PSU: EVGA superNOVA G3 750W
GPU: Gtx 1070 (Waiting on a 3080, whenever they are back in stock...)
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C

Big thank you to LTT and Intel for doing the giveaway😄
 
 

Pretty slick build you got there

Looks great! I'm curious to know what kind of single/multi thread speeds and voltages you can get with that noctua cooler and the golden chip. I was surprised how far mine could go at less than 1.2v.
 
BTW I was able to get the ML360 Sub Zero nice and quiet for my daily pc using the sata power adapter I showed in the winners thread if you ever want to give it a try at some point in the future.

007 reporting in lmao

I apparently got the last one. 😉

Oh my God. It's actually here. And in the full sweet packaging they showed in the video. Looks like we'll be the only ones to ever have LTX2020 swag

This went to my junk mail, in case other people haven't seen it (none of the previous emails were marked as junk, so kind of odd) The "No additional action is required" etc line pretty much confirms that this is going to be a complete black hole of information for at least the next two months. I hope they at least give a shipping notice or ideally a tracking number, but I'm not counting on it the way things have gone so far.
 
It's great to at least have confirmation that this is actually happening though, so I can go back to being purely excited rather than concerned. 

Luke lafr's mineral oil pc is part of LTT history!

Quite a good build, but I would recommend trying to get a proper brand PSU. One from Corsair/Evga/seasonic etc and not from brands like kolink or gamemax. You don't want a dodgy power supply to kill your system!

I have my email!! Finally helloworld has sent me the email with documents to fill out, they're giving us 2 calendar days to fill out the form so everyone keep an eye on emails 👍

Hooray! Nice to have some confirmation that this actually happening. I saw the firm listed "8-10 weeks" as the delivery time frame. I'm hoping that's from the original notification back in Dec (as the it's also listed in the contest rules)  but I doubt it. I'll be excited to fire it up whenever it comes in though!
 
Less excited about the 1099 form...

I have my email!! Finally helloworld has sent me the email with documents to fill out, they're giving us 2 calendar days to fill out the form so everyone keep an eye on emails 👍

I think I have some insight on why it is taking so long to get the email. According to the official rules, this giveaway can have up to 4 drawings(because people who win don't always claim their prize or they live in an ineligible country), each drawing gives the winner 3 days to respond. I was part of the second drawing and I got a DM on December 28th. The problem was that the form said I was ineligible, along with other winners who tweeted about not being able to claim it. Both IntelTech and IntelSupport weren't responding to our DMs until January 4th. Intel told us to send an email to helloworld.com's(some promotion company they hired) customer care to get the situation resolved. It took until the 8th for HelloWorld to respond that they finally fixed the form. Based on the fact that the time between the first and second drawing was 10 days, I'd assume that they would do the next drawing 10 days after the last one. If they reset this "timer" on the 8th for second drawing, we could assume that the third drawing was notified on the 18th and that the fourth drawing will be notified on the 28th. The fourth drawing would have 3 days to fill out the form, meaning the contest would finally be over by the start of February. Of course this is just speculative and we have no way of truly knowing when the contest will be over.

I'm doing the same lol! If I don't hear anything by the end of the week I'm going to email them again on Monday 

I've got an update for people! Intel told me to email their fulfillment team about the situation and this was there response.
