hehe so true. The power consumption figures are very nice though. What I want to see is a comparison between the Maximus IV Extreme vs P67A-UD7 focusing specifically on SLI/xfire performance in games. Gigabyte seems to have taken a straight foward approach to the nf200 implementation and Asus decided to get all funky with it.

Pretty sick numbers for a mid grade platform

What will the third quarter bring when the quad pumped 8 core monsters are abound

Hondacity 01-03-2011 06:22 AM
broken families..and big hole pockets..

Witchdoctor 01-03-2011 06:40 AM

yeah its like running AMD, except big cold bug. Hopefully that is fixed in the next couple of months :)

Hondacity 01-04-2011 06:49 PM
intel deliberately introduced a coldbug..hopefully manufactureres get something around it..

OC Maximus 01-04-2011 07:52 PM
Either way, its a much better bencher than what I was running. For us mainstream guys its a Godsend.

Yo, whered you read that glowing piece of information?

OC Maximus 01-04-2011 08:25 PM
From the Asus OC Guide:

(Please take this with a grain of salt)

Q: How does it do Under Liquid Nitrogen?
A: As the Core frequency scaling capability is inversely proportional with respect to the change of
temperature when the CPU temperature goes down too low, the overclock capability of the CPU
actually reduces dramatically when it reaches below zero degrees. For example, a CPU may do
5.0GHz @ 0C, but only 4.9GHz @ -40C. The ideal temperature for overclocking the Sandybridge
processor under the P67 platform is around 15~20 degrees.

Sandy Bridge EP and EX platforms due out the end of the year. That is where the big boys will be playing I think.

Z68 is rumoured to come out in Q2... which is a H67 with P67 OC support.
and a couple of other new features.
