    doesn't really matter, QPI of 4,8GT/s is more then enough to supply the X58.

    @920 OC: Nice overclock, good to know that the non-XE can be OC'd as well. Isn't the +80c load temps going to be reducing possible CPU lifetime considering the TJMax is only 100c?

    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!

    i can confirm personally that 200 qpi and 4ghz is easy on any of the processors, even with stock cooling.

    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?

    Yeah, I would think that 4GHz on stock cooling would be if you're lucky. I would think around 3.6 would probably be an average # to shoot for.

    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.

    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.

    actually they should be available ~17th.

    biggest e-retailer in austria gets the cpus at this date.

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

    Processors are in stock, but will not ship until the official Intel embargo release date of November 17th.
    From tank guys.... this is good news, a hard 'launch' ...

    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, and the OC utility is similar to CPU-Z, with a few more functions.

    Man isn't that the truth. Maybe that place will STHU now, and hopefully peiople will stop posting that trash in the news section. It was littering the place up.

    Now, where do I buy this stuff? I want a 3-350 price range on the EVGA board or a 400 dollar price range on the RIIE. I'll pay a grand for the Extreme 7, and 3-500 on 6GB (3 sticks) of the best RAM I can get ahold of. 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.

    They seem to idle around 50-55, Priming around 75-85 @ 3.6-3.8 is bit hotter than penryns. I don't know if the sensors are misreading, if coretemp/real temp is misreading, if heatsinks aren't fitted properly, if it's early silicon (but there are a few retail chips posted) or what?

    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
