Today FedEx knock on my door delivering a nice package from my friend Peter Tam / Shamino
Here is the content of the box :
Oh yeh it's the EVGA X58 SLI motherboard developed with the help of one of the best overclocker in the world - Shamino
Here you can check all the features and specs of the motherboard : http://www.evga.com/articles/00438/
Well the best "feature" is of course the fact that Shamino is involved in the developement and support - for instance new bios with more and more OC oriented features, there is a new beta bios that will make 920 and 940 very very happy (that's a surprise for now)
Will start on with air cooling results with my retail i7 920, before put the mobo in the Cascade with the 965XE
I mount the Thermalright True Copper Ultra-120 Extreme - a good mobo deverserves a good (an quite heavy) cooler
Here is a photo:
And here is what I get on the first attempt:
210x21 = 4.400Mhz with 4 cores + HT so so easy with moderate voltages
The EVGA LEET is realy a nice piece of software, you can control all the voltages and see all the temps and even save you favorite / stable OC settings for later recal
Whell the first quick impression was quite nice, much more to come..
Thanks Peter, I will do my best on helping the next bios developments..
Stay tuned for more results
