IVIYTH0S Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) 750 - $209.99860 - $299.99 870 - $579.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115215 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115214 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115213 Not sure about the $280 price jump to the 870 ouch they always do that, the first two usually are reasonably priced and the third just get's an unnecessary price hike that's no where near justified by performance. (I'm thinking Q9450/Q9550/Q9650) Edited September 8, 2009 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) they always do that, the first two usually are reasonably priced and the third just get's an unnecessary price hike that's no where near justified by performance. (I'm thinking Q9450/Q9550/Q9650) People buy them at that price...so not really that unreasonable. Good review and good chips though!!!

Some people named Waco are unreasonable ..... Those poor people though , I feel almost as bad for them as I do for people who still buy soundcards (as for people buying them, I only see two confirmed sales on the 750 but not for the other two;)) Edited September 8, 2009 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Damn! I was hoping for low temperatures. I really couldn't stand the heat of my I7 920, it made my small room so stuffy at times. Ccokeman you think you can compare the TRUE (i think i remember you saying you had one) with the MUX 120 on a quick OC test When I get a chance now that we will have some motherboard goodness for these little monsters coming up shortly. The 860 I think really is going to give you the bang for the buck if you run a lot of multithreaded apps. The 750 is a rocking little processor and clocks memory very well!

The 750 is a rocking little processor and clocks memory very well! what makes the 860 so much better than the 750, the 750 kept right with it the whole time and is almost $100 cheaper? the hyper threading?? when overclocked to the same clock speed they are painfully similar in performance Edited September 8, 2009 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
