Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[cloned]

I have a feeling Core i7 is going to be a let down for gamers.

So do I, at least till more games are programmed to use more than one core. Is there any word on if our 775 heatsinks could work with 1366 given new mounting equipment.

Well, considering that all games coming to PC now are pretty much multi platform, ps3/xbox360/pc, games have not tested current hardware much, except for a few titles like STALKER CS, and CRYSIS, other than those 2 pc exclusives, all other games are console ports with some "enhancements", xbox 360 and ps3 will see life into 2010, ps3 should be staying till 2012 from what i have heard, so you can imagine games and graphics cannot change much, plus we have hit a wall in graphics somewhat, where there is not much to improve, maybe ways to render faster and better ways to optimize games and such..... My point being, dont expect much games to come out takin advantage of 8 threads, there is only a handful of apps that take advantage of more than 2 cores, yet alone games. Most games are still single threaded.
