I forgot that I had a separate order for some expansion cards I placed last week before the billing email for the preorder came through. So when the shipping notification popped up I got excited and didn’t even realize it wasn’t for my mainboard preorder lol
My core 5 320 mainboard came in today instead of Monday thankfully, swapped it out and it seems to run way cooler than the i5-1334u! I don’t think I’ve even heard the fan yet compared to i5-1334u where it would kick on often, the back feels a lot cooler than the 1334u. Still need to test it more but that’s my initial impressions.
It’s also running my ram at its actual speed 5600 instead of 5200 (iirc).
I’ve received an email update that my order is delayed due to Typhoon Champi (I’m in Asia). I see a thread about this has also been created at Shipping delays October 2026
I’ve also had the email confirming that my laptop is going to be delayed, but will be dispatched by Friday. Does anyone in the UK have any comments on how long there is between dispatch and delivery?
