itll still have EIST, and disabling doesnt work in bios atm, but just set the power management profile to performance/always on in windows and it wont drop
Ive yet to power up my i7 system, but using Turbo mode sounds good after all (I actually didnt want to use it). But, if you set performance mode in Windows and use anything non-multithreaded, will all cores remain at the same multiplier? So say Ive a 20x multi, with Turbo that would be 21x on all cores. But there's this thing that if you've a single threaded app all cores will stay at 20x and the main core will be 22x instead right? Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Anyway, Im happy with my Bloodrage. Didnt even fire it up yet, but Im already in love

I hope I wont get dissapointed like I got with DFI's AM2 boards, that was ridiculous Installed my waterblock with backplate, high force Installing fan on north bridge was... well, harder than expected. Not hard though, but my two last cooling solutions were a TRUE and TR IFX-14+IFX-10 combo, if you survive that you can survive anything
