ccokeman Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Surprised at how "Cool: it ran on the Intel Cooler as well as with it under water! I'm sure colder would be better! If the 920's and Clarkdales are any indicator they just might! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I'm kind of surprised at the design of the stock cooler. Looks to be fairly decent if you don't plan on overclocking it. The review kind of makes me want one.. till I realize I'm planning on spending about that much on an entirely new computer. Btw, any word on the 6 core AMD chips and a possible direct comparison?

cirro Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 love the quiet & performance settings on stock hsf, and this chip at its price makes me glad i got a 920 instead of a 965X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be testing the cooler in an upcoming review head to head with some other coolers. It is expensive but Im sure it will sell well to those who normally buy the Extreme chips anyhow. $999 for a 6 core 12 threaded beast verses the i7 975 with 4 cores and 8 threads! !

Guest ajmatson Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Very nice review. I would love to get my hands on a 6 core beast even if I don't need the power. Edited March 11, 2010 by ajmatson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_TheAlexO Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I guess you didn't read the review???? Other then gaming pages? i dont think he meant YOU as in YOU personally. i believe he meant in order to get good use out of this, SOMEONE would need to do rendering/multimedia stuff. by YOU he means anyone who uses it.

sdy284 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 nice makes me excited for the 970 i believe the model is? which ever is the 920 equivalent to this 6 core model. that one would be more in my budget don't hold your breath. intel is the only player in this category and they dont' really have a reason to release cheaper 6cores Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
