crash Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Hey guys, after my last bout of spending and splurging I've decided to go i7. Too bad I missed matt's for sale stuff from a couple weeks ago hey? Anyways I need: Moherboard, prefer Asus P6T deluxe, (OCC reviewed one I think) CPU i7 920 and up Ram minimum 6gb preffer DDR-1600 2000mhz ram. Let me know what you guys have. crash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHKCommander959 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 what you got to offer for a lapped i7 920? pm me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Hmm, I'm not really a fan of lapping IHS's. Is it a good OC'er? Theyre 280 from newegg so I guess I would pay 180. BTW how do you like that MSI X58? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrow21 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 http://www.overclockersclub.com/news/24957/ That might change your decision about getting i7. I'd wait around or get LGA775 for dirt cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 What does that have to do with the price of bread? If 1366 will be the platform for the new 6 core cpus then why would I want to wait for a platform that is geared towards the mainstream segment? It sounds as though i7 will continue to be the "enthusiast" platform for quite some time. Maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't make sense to wait for a less powerfull platform. BTW I have enough 775 stuff here to build 2 more complete systems! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 The platinum In my experience has a hard time with memory over about 950 MHz. A new BIOS will hopefully help as the latest BIOS made a huge difference in overclocking. A huge difference! ITs a fast board for the most part! 1866 7-8-7 is a breeze but higher gets tricky.

Bosco Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Crash I have a extra P6T Version 2 if you are intrested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Crash I have a extra P6T Version 2 if you are intrested Could you PM me with details? And yes I am interested. The V2 lacks SAS support though right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Bosco thanks for the PM but that's way more than I would want to pay for a new board. I would really like the V1 revision as it has SAS support and 8 SATA, whereas the V2 has no SAS and only 6 SATA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
