6 Core CPU

Sure, I'll take 6 or 7 as they are only $1100.00 EACH


WTF :assault: :assault:

Even the people that did ratings and repair/build boxes say it's not worth it...

[StarsMine]

I think we all knew it wasnt worth it when they announced it
The i7 980x does look like a fun toy though. of course unless you actually use progams that use multiple threads (I for the most part dont) all the i7s are worthless to you.

I want a version of the 980x on the i5 line just for fun :icon_mrgreen:


This thing is probably only ever worth the money if you make really, really, really amazing 3d films, and for some reason your making them 1600p

[Kavinsky]

I'd sooner spend it on a sig 210, colt python or a walther p88.

Yea it is worth it fuck I wish I could get a trade in if not just for the better oc ability. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2010/03/11/intel-core-i7-980x-extreme-edition-review/1

Zero will you be revising the SBII with this?

All BS. My quad Phenom X4 955 in OC doesn't bench much less than this overpriced pos

well in a few years when the sbII is getting slow I plan to just update the cpu with the latest socket 1366 even if it is a xeon as my board supports them. There is no reason to spend that much now when it runs fine but one of the benefits of an early investment is that I can still upgrade years later and get a very fast updated computer without the cost of building an entire new one.

Comparing your overclock to a stock chip isn't very genuine. If this chip were more like the old XP 3200+'s, which were notorious for limited OC'ing, you'd have a point, but given that all the reviews have pushed this thing quite a bit, you really don't. If you were to push the 980X in the same fashion you pushed your X4 955, it would proceed to stomp all over the 955.

Yea like my 920 can almost equal my 970 when the 920 is oced but I do not run the 970 stock and can hit up to 4.5 using a multiplier oc only and at that it is already in another league.

4.5? I'm in the 7's and I only OC'd less than 10%

What..? How did you hit 4.7 with a 10% overclock. Those numbers don't add up.

The 920 is even with the 955 in most gaming benchmarks and beats it out in almost all multithreaded applications. This with both at stock (2.66 920 vs. 3.2 955). The 920's 4.5 is much more than its clocks would describe when comparing with your overclock.

Not 4.7, it's 7.4. I am assuming here that you guys are talking about the Windows Experience Index?

I thought we were talking about Ghz o.O

[DeadEyeDeNNi$]

As I look back I believer your right! Isn't it funny how different people can have different views/interpretations on the same/similar subject?

I might be able to get my CPU to clock at 4+ but I wouldn't run it that hard.

EDIT- Actually I just found this on my CPU... Limit Team Mgmt has gotten the Phenom 2 x4 955 up to 7.1ghz

I am talking about ghz... my stock index for windows was like 7.6 fuck my ram is 7.9
