Hey, hey everybody. I have an interest in the 2011 platform as I'm currently runing 3x gtx 580's on an 1155 with a 2600k @2560x1600. I'm planning on getting an i7 3820 and sitting with it until 2013 when ivy-E comes out.
The cpu though, is not the issue at hand. I know this chip is capable of running at the expected freq's I already run on my 2600k. I'm just looking to ring out just a bit more performance and efficiency out of my 3 way sli. Especially since it is not intended for an 1155 platform anyhow without the addition of a nf or lucid chip.
My concerns are, sifting through the reviews on newegg there absolutely and overabundance of complete and utter static on the subject of socket 2011. Some people aren't exactly clear on what issues they have had, most likely because they don't grasp the understanding of what is going wrong themselves.
That's why I am here. I have come to really respect a lot of the info and knowledge that has been shared around here and could really use some experience on this platform. My personal criteria:
1) I need the lanes to run at least 16x 16x 8x or similar config. ( I know some run 16x 8x 16x)
2) This motherboard needs to be a decent bclk overclocker. It's a partially unlocked chip and I really can't settle for less than 4.6ghz.
Lastly, I don't post a lot but I read TONS on here and have to say thanks, and keep doing what y'all are doing. A forum I'm not actually afraid to post in. Also, if you have an outside of the box suggestion please by all means!
