Extremetech had a early review and I am a bit concerned over this quote..
"Note that the 955 Extreme Edition CPU isn't actually available yet. Although Intel launched the new CPU on December 27th, the actual ship date for systems using Presler is January 16th. Boxed retail CPUs will likely not be available until February.
Given the high cost of the CPU and its staggering heat output, it's difficult to recommend this new Intel CPU. Intel does have a track record of issuing CPU revisions that improve on thermal output and die sizes, so the 955 may improve in the future. "
