X58A-UD7 & UD5 Modification for Gulftown pass high clock

A little side note on the mod shot, the brown "resistor" is no resistor. The brown SMD components are capacitors. The measured resistance there is the currents through the surrounding other SMD parts/chip.

Not meaning to be a smartass, but everybody seems to think they are resistors.


On a side node, if we are referring to Gulftowns here, do we speak of the 32 nm hexcores?

Are there any 32 nm quadcores out yet, like Xeons? Any planned release dates for 32 nm quadcore i7s yet in the rumor mill?

I just don't want to shell out like 900 Euros for a hexcore whose performance I can't even remotely take advantage of on an all days basis...
