gah taht socket still creeps me out... something about placing the chip in a bare plastic socket... then again i guess i really do like how you can remove the hold down so much easier on the X58 and P55 boards now.

Lookin forward to see the results

EDIT: I do not like how they call the new chip an I7 as I can see where somoe regular consumers like the ones I deal with every day will be all pissy because they cannot fit this new 870 in their classified....


GOD HELP ME!!! i can forsee stupid calls in the future

I see many many many bent pins in the future.... hell dude i had a call from a guy who got upset because his Q9550 wouldnt boot in his classified.... mind you thats a $400+ motherboard he just forced the chip down on the pins in the socket with teh loading mechanism.... think about that

Keep us up to date on this one dinos. I was lookin and liken this board the other day. I wonder what these mobos/cpus will achieve? 6ghz? Maybe I'm dreamin. I'm just wondering what will be the e8600 replacement or if there will ever be one.

[punx223]

from looking at the intel info already out there nip it looks as though core I3 if it ever comes around will be a hyperthreaded dual core aimed at all teh core2duo's as replacements, i think this will be kind of a poor mans 920 setup....


What doesnt make much sense as speculative numers put its cost at far more than a I7 920/mid range mobo cost...

also only dual channel ddr3

but otherwise onboard nand could be fun to play with :shock:

Well I was wanting to buy another e8600 but had the this thought in my head last night that I might hold off to see if there will be a new bad boy in town soon that would replace it.

It will definitely be nice to see some new competition, but let sbe honest if the cruddy cold bugs follow these I7 chips like the first revision, and also the poor scaling you may not see 6+ ghz that easy

[dinos22]

i'm on single stage at the moment :)

stilll trying to figure out this setup

looks like it's a whole new learning curve hehehe

[Neuromancer]

Looking good so far dino :)

[Kal-EL]

voltage?

[dinos22]

1.55v

i have a really nice 960 chip so now whatever i compare doesnt stack up but seriously this isnt too bad
i was thinking it might be worse even hahaha

[Kal-EL]

You still climbing bro or is this tops for ss?

[dinos22]

i am really tired > it's 3am heheh

here is a quick 32M single channel not tweaked obviously with higher RAM ratio

this is my last leftover stick from tripple channel kit elpida based that died on me

thought i'd test this ram first before i put my nice CAS7s in there

[punx223]

nice runs dinos... looks like it could be fun to play with.... let us know how the ram scales with the cpu.

Also how does it scale on water/air would be cool to know :good:

[dinos22]

so i flashed to F4D bios and i can get turbo working with 22x but not lower multies which is ok i guess

here is what the board spits out in 32M SuperPi at 5GHz with stock timings with some Kingstons i have here

i am still on SS cooling :)
