So far the 2600K is $399 here in Australia and the normal 2600 version is $329, is it really worth the extra $60 for an unlocked multiplier?
It really sucks Intel decided to limit overclocking via the FSB.... WTF
Yeah its insane we must pay extra for everything and its bull:banana::banana::banana::banana: really. But at least the i7 2600k isn't at $500, as I thought it would be.
Double post deleted, didn't even notice it myself and no, its not my dog I wish I had one, I used it as an avatar because it looks cute and adorable.
Thx guys, glad you like them :)
CPU's will be available for sale on Monday in my country, and the prices are as expected 1:1 USD to Euro conversion.

lol mine is coming from HK so no pineapple for me ....
:shrug:
Are there any reviews of SB out there that show the influence of memory speed on general everyday performance and gaming? I'm wondering if memory speed has a larger influence on SB performance than it did on Lynnfield...
Probably not really for gaming Im guessing, but benching is a different story.
:up:
I'm looking at that gskill 8GB 1600 set, probably enough for 4.5Ghz OC?
I too am wondering about this exact same thing. I just don't know what to do w/ my RAM purchase for the 2600K. I'm on air, don't bench, and mostly game and fold. I'm thinking about the 1600 kit of RipJaws X that just came out but they have 7 and 9 timings that differ by quite a bit of cash.
For all you aussie geeks :D use staticice.com.au for best aussie prices.. im sure you know it already but just incase..
Adding to what JumpingJack says above. Get the lower latency. I have found that really seems to be the only thing that does make a difference in memory these days. Unless your application is Bandwidth hungry then by all means go for a DDR3 2133 memory kit.
Not particularly relevent to anything, but was fooling around with Anand's bench..
I don't know why, but I find this "almost clock for clock" comparison interesting.. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/93?vs=289
Both Dual core, Hyperthreaded CPU's .. One's almost exactly 5 yrs older :P , and in complete contrast, was the flagship model.
Its not that much different for any other topend cpu from 5years ago.. :p:
Your not Robinson Crusoe mate.
