Criminal - UD5 booting is easy to fix ; set any unused channel in standard cmos to none, now I think all is set to auto. The same problem I have some time ago with UD7. All to none, and only this channel what You use to auto ;)

UD9 or R3E - my vote go for R3E, or maybe R3F ?

4.8GHz Vantage on air is excellent! :D

What is the real vCore?

Thankyou :)

980x has done 7050MHz on LN2 :) On an X58A-UD3R no less! :D

990x should make it a much more common sight though :D

Ummm... Wow! Nice! I can never get good CPUs. I always get stuck with average clockers or CPUs that only like super low temps and clock like crap on air and water.

As for the thread title - from the 80s movie "Clash of the Titans" there are two lines - One is "Let loose the Kraken" and the other is "Release the Kraken". I always say "Let loose the Kraken!" before releasing MY demi-god to me lady friend. LOL!

Easy... values that you see are the temps in Idle, because He launched coretemp only when Benchmark was done... ;)

"This dude's motherboard cost 3 times as much as mine did"
"This dude's storage setup cost is comparable to that of a Fortune 500 company"
"This dude spent more time perfecting this case than I have playing tennis... he deserves a varsity letter!"

Have any of you guys started with budget builds and then started becoming enthusiasts?

What's this "budget build" of which you speak?:shrug:

This is XS...the words "extreme" and "budget" seldom go together...;)

In every way..:rofl:
Take your pick..
It's better, seems like just a better binned chip..
Not huge differences but they are there.

I believe 990x has something improved comparing to 980x
because 980x was launched in March 2010,
990x will be released in January 2011

10 months, almost a year.... can make a difference

come on! i7 990x retail !!!!!!

hope the price will be $1299 or higher,
i'm pretty sure more expensive equals more performance
