I'm going sandy bridge but I'm broke now! Iv bought an i7 2600K and P8P67 Deluxe so far... Need to save up another R2500 and my brand new rig is complete,and then I'm in a position to challenge some you guys in benches haha. Smiley I hear you challenged the jelly in 3d mark vantage?? yea buddy - i ...

I know man, intel is selfish beyond comparison, why make money on jus a cpu when they can make money on a new socket aswell...they want 1 socket for mainstream & 1 for high end...but there 'mainstream' tends to be just as good as the high end, so its kinda pointless lol i hear nvidia is getting ...

You can never keep up with technology hey! Sandy bridge is barely out on shelves yet and there's something better on its way... When can we expect to see these released? i know how you feel man, intels layout or rather, roadmap is like this: 1155 is the replacement for 1156 & 2011 is the replac...

yea i know - i7 LGA1366 is as pc format also says - is over kill for any pc, nothing i know actually maxes it out but @ the same time, LGA2011 rather looks more like a server / workstation kind of build....the bandwidth will be crazy & the starting cores will be 8 core / 16 threads (although i w...

Very Cool but why are Intel releasing more new sockets??.......can't they just have one that fits all like in the LGA 775 days, AMD is now the least confusing CPU manufacturer (a few years back it was the opposite) i agree - there is a lot of rumors about other sockets aswell like LGA1356 so @ the ...

Bud - i wanna challenge you

What is the highest you can run your system at? not for 24/7 use, just purely for a higher score....

You know you want to...lol

...Awesome Score man - congrats!

Sandy bridge isnt that bad price wise - but once LGA2011 comes out im gonna have to sell my house to get it lol

yup - thats an MSI board, its said to be X68...but little is know this far.one thing im wondering about is if other LGA2011 boards will also have 4x DIMMS instead of 8? Come mid july, my i7 system will be sold off & then i wait

sounds good man - black & blue tends to work well imo - to me, if the pc is full red it feels like its on fire the whole time so the blue will ice things up a bit figuratively speaking that is...

dont stress about the rog - its more of a brand name than higher quality...

Hey guys, it might be far from its release, but an underground chinese (always seems to be hey :lol: ) has gotten hold a Lga2011 board for ivy bridge... the photos are blurred out but the general idea of the layout can be seen... as many have heard - the socket now has 2 latches for installing the c...

hmmm....deja vu

g.skill is about your best best IMO - i love the rip jaws, one of my buddies has them & they look sick....

hmmm...good question...i dont think its possible due to different architecture but i might be wrong?

i know but im tired of building intel machines lol

looks

wow man nice score - if i were you i'd grab another HD5850 instead of going HD6xxx series...really man, if you could get that 2nd card to those speeds - your machine would be bitchin' lol

well, with a mobo - i'd always recommend Asus...but EVGA, gigabyte & even Msi are top notch...

i guess it depends on what you can afford...how much can you fork out?

Independence got something to do with it but also some consideration for the other persons situation. You get the lot that don't care if you walk to work or eat bread for the rest of the month as long as they get what they want hey living on bread 24/7 aint so bad - after a while though you get a b...
