Can the QPI match a extreme edition on the i920???
doesn't really matter, QPI of 4,8GT/s is more then enough to supply the X58.Quote:

Saw this on Bit-tech. They say they hit 4GHz on the 920 with only ~20 minutes or so of playing with BIOS. Looking good! :up:

cheers metric does anybody know if the mounting adaptors are available yet for the dtek fusion for i7 core

4ghz with stock cooling... judging by the fact a noctua, with their magic fan, are holding temps at 85-90 C... i dont see how stock cooling can keep it under 100...? unless that was an abnormally hot chip at 1.3 volts?Quote:

god damit... i have to resist... right now i could buy a 920, GB EX58-Extreme and 12gb ddr3... but its all overpriced like hell.... need to resist for another 2 weeks till prices settle. :slap:
These chips seem to run quite hotter than Penryn, although requiring a bit less voltage at the same clock. There are some retail chip results posted about, and they seem to run hot as well. Maybe it's just early silicon steppings, or if the aftermarket coolers don't quite fit with the adapter kits, or need to be redesigned, or if it just runs hotter.
Mmm..no.Quote:

In the USA I7 920 is already in stock in some shops like Tankguys for $329 and Asus P6T for $319 , here in the UK Asus P6T is also in stock for £249 a bit over than expected but not that far.Quote:

I think the i7 965 will be the latest that is going to be available. :yepp:

I put it in single quotes because Intel 'launched' weirdly this round. The lifted the review/press NDA's two weeks before actual product launch to the retail stores.
I have a specific idea in my head of what a paper launch is ... if they 'launch' and you can buy it with in two-three weeks, i consider it a non-paper hard launch ... it is reasonable to give the distribution channels time to move around stock, for example. But if it is hard to find stock within 5-6 weeks of 'launch' then it was certainly paper launched in my book.
I say weirdly this round because I think there is a bit of cat and mouse going on here ... the rumor mill is filled with Shanghai coming around Nov 13/14/15th area (mid nov), and if Nov 17 is the actual time they launched, they (being Intel) risked not getting the first headlines.... so what the hey, lift the veil 2 weeks before for the official launch and fill forums up with 'Nehalem Review' threads :) --- cat and mouse, cat and mouse.

Air or phase? And does the EVGA OC utility really mirror CPU-Z?Quote:

Thanks! :clap::clap:Quote:

If anyone wants to sell NIB Retail versuions of these items I'm ready to buy right now, please contact me via PM. I'm not a dreamer, and have money waiting to buy this.
That's nice. But it doesn't explain the trend of observed higher temperatures. Have a look at the Core i7 overclocking thread in the Intel section and a few of the threads in the extreme section. Have a look at the dozens of reviews on Core i7 motherboards on several sites - it's not 1 or 2 results, it's most of them. These chips run slightly hotter by a few degrees - just an observation.Quote:

Still waiting for next generation chipset;
1. Intel X68 support Westmere CPU 6 cores, PCIe x16 ver 3.0 for next generation GPU
2. Better mainboard design and more easy for OC
3. Lower DDR3 prices and widely available
4. Westmere CPU 32nm more cooler and higher OC
My target is Q4 2009 or Q1 2010, for now i'm still with my Q6600@3.6 Ghz G0
