How do the ES chips compare to the stock ones for overclocking ? Results seem to be very varied from what I've read.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
any chance of some folding @ home scores as part of the benchmarking suite?
Looks like a great chip, but, once again Intel makes a mockery of early adopters.
why do you say that duc?
I thought these where still under NDA?

Worth the wait for the review. Good job
PC4Free
I never finish anyt
First came i7 with lga1366; then i7, i5 & i3 lga1156 now 2nd gen i7 & i5 lga1155 in just over two years.
On the other hand, if you bought into X58 you're still covered today performance wise anyway.

oh I get what you mean, yes Intel do tend to do this kind of thing all the time but the 1st Gen are still fast!!!

Not solid data, but info suggests that a 2600K at ~4.9GHz gets around 30K PPDOriginally Posted by Tattysnuc
LATE!!! COME ON HEXUS GET WITH IT!!
was expecting this review on tuesday lol
Power looks nice but the performance doesn't impress overly. The igp is still poor and the drivers are in a total mess. Throw on top intel's usual nonsense for squeezing cash out of people and I'm not sure this was worth 4 1/2 stars.
4.7 GHz? Sheesh.
Blarg. I bought into 1366 -_-
Which H67 board were you guys using? Didn't see it mentioned in the review. Also, if it's a model with a pair of PCIe x16 ports could you test out crossfire and SLi? Some sites are reporting that both ports run at x8 speeds during crossfire or SLi, others that the first runs at x16 and the second at x4.
I've pretty much decided against buying a P67 board. I don't really think the extra money and sacrifice of Quicksync is worth the gain of being able to overclock. It's about £250 for a decent H67 board and i5 2400/2500 or £330 for a P67 board and 2500k. I'd rather put the extra towards a better (or second, hence the above question) GPU.
I think lane speed is board dependant rather than chipset...
