These are looking impressive, may have tempted me to finally upgrade from my Q6600, anyone know when they'll hit stores? and roughly how much in Canadian currency ?

What are you doing that needs that much power??

Did you guys remember that Socket 2011 is going to be Ivy Bridge 22nm cpu's ? If this is 32nm then theres going to be higher overclocking and less temps on Socket 2011

Its on a locked bios board, from an old Acer computer, so theres no options to change it or even overclock it

 

Find out who Acer rebranded the MoBo from. They dont make proprietary boards(I think?) Should you should be able to find a unlocked BIO's for whoever REALLY made that board. All acer does is pick a mobo, and create/have made, a custom locked BIO's. If you can figure out which company made it, you should be able to flash a BIO's in on it and have all kinds of fun.

@Everyone,

Im gonna jump into this new MMORPG, "Rift: Planes of Telara". I guess they have some really nice bump map and lighting effects. Been waiting for an i7 price drop or the new intel Chips. Obviously they are just around the corner. Money isnt a problem. I will try and get the best bang for the buck from the new Intel chips... my question is.

Does anyone have a loc on the actual RETAIL RELEASE DATE? Nice to know what is offered but WHEN?

Im ready now.
