Core i7 870 Tested

[Chri$ch]

yes i did

[LinkinParkBoy]

Chri$ch it would be nice to see a test of the i5 750 with the stock clocks (3.2 with turbo) against the i7 920 (2.8 with turbo) also stock to see whether the turbo advantage is a match for the 920's HT

[Chri$ch]

Benches @ stock with turbo can you see here..

but i don´t have a i7-920 system to test it

When does the NDA expire so that sites like Anandtech can review the Lynnfield generation?

Have you worked with that cooler before ?

Yap, in phenom builds i use the AC 64 PRO, E8*** and Q*** the Freezer 7 PRO, and i will use this one in the i5´s. Obvious it cant be compared to the Noctua coolers for example, but they are certainly the best when it comes to price/perfomance/quality. It comes with MX-2 pre applied on the cooler, and its very silent and you can still do a good OC. This models can handle cpu´s with a TDP of 95W, but when it comes to the i7 920, its better to use the Freezer Xtreme Rev2


Here you have a few photos of some of our builds:

Thanks!


I've built several systems this summer for other people, but I'm building a rig based off the new Raven 2 from Silverstone. Will be probably being using the MSI "Big Bang" board, but going for low noise and efficiency.


Aesthetics count, I can only wish Noctua weren't so fugly...
