    That box does look big, due to the size of that stock cooler. Though I wonder if that stock cooler is any good compared to those generic ones from Intel.

    This new Extreme Edition cooler is loud one and fan blows most of its airflow sideways, so not very good.

    Just picked up my Intel Core i7 Extreme 980X Gulftown six-core from the Micro Center in Southern California this afternoon. Excellent launch-day prices ($999), outstanding customer service, convenient retail locations. What more could you ask for?

    Upgraded from a Core i7 Extreme 965 that also I got from Micro Center the day before Nehalem launch day (November 16, 2008). Just sold it on eBay a couple days ago. According to a recent conversation I had with Anand over Twitter, this hexa-core processor should be the first Extreme Edition from Intel that's actually worth buying!


    The Core i7 980X Review: Intel's First 6-Core Desktop CPU







    Product Code: BX80613I7980X

    Pack Date: February 24, 2010

    Batch Number: 3003A957

    Looking forward to some great experiences with the 32nm Westmere generation over the next year! The future looks bright for Intel regardless of whether the Tick-Tock cadence was delayed by a quarter, and I am confident in the company's continued engineering efforts for unique innovation in a world that now depends highly on the success of technological advancement.

    In other news, I just received my Sapphire Radeon HD 5970s back from RMA the other day. Long story short (full story here) - after two months of hardware and driver testing, I concluded that both cards were hardware defective right out of the box. All in all, this weekend is going to be one hell of a fun experience, and some of my good enthusiast buddies are welcome to come over. I'll post some benchmarks as soon as they're ready.
