The Official PC building thread -3rd Edition

Rob,
It is a Lynnfield! Brand new. it just came out today. Here's all I could find about it.

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i5/Intel-Core i5-760 BV80605001908AN (BX80605I5760).htm

This is wierd, the page just vanished. I'll hunt some more!

Rob,
Had to go to a foreign language to find it, but it's easy to sort out.

It is a Lynnfield.

Russ

 

it fit all 1156 platforms.One Platform comes to mind is the GA-P55-UD3R is for that joker is nice it handle the i5 750 with easy in Oc'ing just recommending here's a few reviews on the board it self

http://www.testfreaks.com/motherboards/gigabyte-ga-p55-ud3r/

one or few maybe still over at the i'll stop in and holla at Dan Moody and see Read on it and let me know and if so you better move Fast cause things don't stay still long at the Mic...

Mic add

oops my bad out of stock

 

You don't want an original P55, early Foxconn socket, burns out when overclocking. P55-USB3 or P55A series only for overclocking i5s with Gigabyte.

 

yea i found the same thing, and then the page was gone. WEIRD.

that GA-P55-UD3R is a no no, ive heard to mant bad things about that board. P55A/M is what to look for from what ive been reading. i have heard alot of great things about this one but i dont really wanna spend that much on board

me over clock???? why would i do that??LMAO!!!!!!!!! 4.40ghz here i come!!!!!!!!

 

Wrong they stopped after the Ga-81915P Duo Pro series putting Foxconn socket in. i got one in my hands at the moment if you don't believe. I'll take pictures to prove it and post it and if that was so they would have showed up on all the P35,P45 as foxconn and we all had P35 at once and Overclocked them and some still do me for sure and foxconn is writen on the clap down bracket also...Biostar did use foxconn but moved to lotes cpu sockets

http://cn.lotes.cc/about.php

still the Boss in my house and brand new in the box King I45 of E8400 OC

another dark side adventure TPower

If you do you gotta learn Asus setting no different that Biostar's setting in the bio screen

Give this a Look over RoBo

Just come to the Dark Side luke like your Father Named VaderLOL

 

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2010/07/22/intel-to-limit-sandy-bridge-overclocking/1

No telling if it's true or not but if it is I'm glad I didn't wait for SB.

 

It's almost certainly true, and it'll be to do with selling K-series CPUs, which made an unremarkable debut with LGA1156. Given how well Intels overclock compared to the competition, they're presumably after fleecing people a bit more for the privilege. It is unlikely that the high end offering on X68 (the equivalent of today's i7 930 etc) will have this limitation, but I forsee it as a means of segregating the midrange powerful CPUs from the others, as the i5 760/i7 860 and i7 930 are almost in competition with themselves at present. Pay less, get an i5 quad that doesn't overclock, pay a lot more for the CPU, get an i5 quad with an unlocked multiplier, pay a bit more (but not as much more) for the CPU and the board, and get a CPU with normal overclocking, and all the high end bells and whistles.
It's unlikely to change much globally, but it could see the enthusiast sector making the switch to AMD if the bulldozer architecture impresses.

 

im waiting for bulldozer. i dont like the fact that sandybridge wont have usb3.0 as standard, instead relying on a 3rd party chip.

but just remember this:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Intel-No-Overclocking-for-Mainstream-Nehalems-84019.shtml

no SLI no OCing, and that was 100% wrong, and wasnt just that site reporting it at the time.

i doubt this will be, but if it is, and even if it isnt, bulldozer for me.

 

LOL! Sounds like greed. I have nothing against intel, but probably AMD again for me. Though it will probably be quite some time for me, who knows

100F outside, and my Cpu is idling at 32C. Love the cooler. Or should I say coolit Granted I am running air conditioning as well. I'm sure both of my phenoms are loving life

 

Yeah, I remember that story, plus motherboard manufacturers tend to work around design limitations of chipsets where they can.
Bulldozer only holds 'pending' interest for me, as until its performance is proven, it doesn't yet hold any benefits.
That plus, CPU power isn't a major issue at the moment. There's far too much else that needs to be bought for me yet, an extra 4GB of RAM, a proper SSD, some more server capacity, a geargrip for my 30", a graphics card for my lightweight PC, and there's a looming gaming system graphics upgrade on the horizon in the form of Southern Islands.

 

I half expected to get roasted for posting that after discovering a bit more information on it from an intel employee (engineer I think) this morning. While he didn't deny the articles statements he said it was due to the architecture of SB and not because of intel's greed. He also said that even the low end SB cpu's will be overclockable and to expect some high speeds out of them.

As much as I hate to say this by the time I upgrade the cpu again it will most likely be to what ever is after SB and bulldozer

oman, is that 32C load or idle ;P

 

Ho ho! It's actually idling at 27°C right now. It's only 80°F outside now though

Motherboard is at 36°C. Still haven't removed the thermal tape from my heatsink. I guess I'm simply either lazy, or not concerned enough. I haven't seen it too toasty for a while. I really need to get an ambient temperature thermometer

 

You say that sounding dismayed/annoyed. Would you currently gain to have a faster CPU?

 

edit: double post. bugs!

 

Probably not, myself. Silly me, I made the mistake of actually acknowledging Sata 6Gb/s and USB 3.0, when I bought my board. It's been several months, and haven't even been able to use the potential. I do not doubt, that the same thing would happen with a 6/12 core CPU. Or even a 4 core, under a different architecture. Code needs to evolve before I'm to upgrade this time Probably a year, but who knows. If people who use DVD/BD rebuilder insist their super CPU's are being tapped by such programs, THEN it would be worth while to me. I'm sure there are already games out there that will use beyond 4 cores. And an adjustment to current code, would allow past games to reap the benefits But I just don't game enough to consider gaming a reason for upgrading.
I realize you were talking to someone else, but just my 2 cents

 

I'm thinking I want a better hard drive again LOL! I want to improve my simultaneous Read Write times. When decompressing large .rar files in 7zip, it is reading from the rar archive, and writing to the temporary folder. I guess for the Velociraptor, this really isn't that bad a transfer speed. Once done with the decompression (not really compressed), transferring from the temporary to my storage drive is quite rapid. I wonder what drives are quicker at this? Would a Raid 0 array of 2 Velociraptors improve my R/W times by nearly two-fold? With the dawning of SSD's, I realize this is probably a pointless endeavor LOL!!! But I noticed that the V-Raptors are finally coming down in price
It's a shame that 7Zip can't tranfer to Ram, for people with insane amounts of ram, instead of the temporary folder. I imagine processes like these, can number an SSD's days

 

RAID increases random access times, and splits data across both drives, there's no guarantee you'll see any benefit in this scenario with RAID. The only sure way to reduce simultaneous R/W is to not make it simultaneous, split data across two drives, each with their own partition. Or, buy an SSD.
I bought an X25-V to replace my horribad 32GB OCZ Solid today, should be here tomorrow - will install windows and hopefully get a nice smooth OS, particularly since I'm hoping to merge it with swapping my i5 back instead of the Q9550.

 

What kind of Simultaneous R/W can I expect from the X25-V?
