Memory

According to EVGA's specs the board can contain 48gb memory, not 96gb as mentioned.

Amazing

what monopoly profits can do isn't it? I'm glad I don't fall for it. I save a LOT of money and get more perf than I really need. I have a DVR so I don't need to encode, I have a 4870 - soon to be 5850 - so my games run great @ 1080p - most of the time I'm barely using a part of one core so six will only matter to my VMs, but then I'd rather have a 4P Magny-Cours.

Saw a faster claim

Today somebody from Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking (dot com) was claiming an Intel Core i7-920 @ 4.5 GHz could beat the first computer they overclocked. That sound true?

Good job, Nebojsa

Privet (Russian hi) from old overclocker! That was one of the best Inq articles of a year.

And LN cooled photo is just super! Glad the board survived such unholly mess and the processor and its socket is not burnt after close to deadly voltage.

GL!

( Overclocked for first time my own home made IBM PC XT compatible in 1987 from 4.77MHz to 9.5-9.9 MHz, as well as co-processor, graphics card and 5.25" floppy drive controller. Last one was the most funny. It then worked for read and seek like on steroids probably as quick as first harddrives. We used dry ice sometimes too (also, good method to find faulty chips) )

Can I afford it?

To find out, I set up a test. I logged in to my online banking and watched my account balance while I stared at the pics in this article. I went flat broke in 35.8 seconds.

Congrats

Congratulations - you may indeed have assembled the fastest/most powerful single-motherboard computer in history.

Cheers.

Need better Benchmarks

With all this new hardware the tests consist of sandra and cinebench. Amazing waste of opportunity.

Get some real-life codes and use them consistantly across all your tests. That will be more informative.

Hi Cookie & Mike, Odd Couple of Computing future, so promote two. Charlie has few in depth thangies too. C&P Last week from SemiAccurate how GTX 480 will melt boards in sli, yet just inside repeated stuff, not true futurist.Yet often first on block to know.
Drashek merely grabs sweeping off cutting room floor that where missed in first go round & repeats,, or dunkin wobblier for Love 1/2 time when dunkin.

i7 980X Approachs 7 Ghz/s.....Potential.

OK Finally read above article & can fill in some of gaps in commentos' in 30 days Tweet hopes to have figured into 7 Ghz/s crowd reports, now 6.14 Is TOP for Desktop here:

http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/3178/intel_s_new_gulftown_six_core_cpu_meets_ln2_extreme_cooling/index.html

6870 card that got 29105 on vantage 3D.

So Desktop seems almost identical to Server unit in perofrmance score, except, one cpu & much less memory. Await multi card or 8990.

Amazingly, articles test & above link are so close in every way, maybe Intel supplied work, Hi,errr, ehhhh.

980 X Pushed to 6.14 Ghz/s does Vantge 29000+ onUD7

managed to get a screenshot at a totally nuts 6.14GHz, but it was only stable at 5.5GHz. If you want to see what this new CPU from Intel is really capable of, head on

2900+ Vantage 3D Is at 5.5 Ghz/s as thats stable setting. have video to prove it.

Faster, Faster, Faster Than Speed of Light. Gigabyte UD7 is three & fifee main @ impressive 333 Design, well we ALL Know that. with extra usb3 controller to push usb extra 3X on Power. So both units eem pretty good, just don't step on It.
