[Evilsizer]

thats nice but sculltrail from what i recall reading is a server platform.

[SuperMiguel]

well it will say skulltrail which is a xeon processor, but in the actually picture sais qx9650 =) and that is a decent score =)

[Deanzo]

and that is a decent score =)

Could be just me, but I dont think it is for a QX9650 you can do the same or better with a Q6600.

Though the screenshots here are :)

Skulltrail is a dual socket motherboard by Intel, not a chip codename.

[SuperMiguel]

[SuperMiguel]

prices of the asus maximus formula mobo =)??

[Ross]

prices of the asus maximus formula mobo =)??$375 is the price I've seen tossed around for the Maximus Formula (Maximus Extreme will be even more expensive), but the way Blitz never came and then went, who knows when we'll even see one in the U.S. retail channel :) P5Es will be the non-ROG Asus X38 boards and should hopefully be a good bit cheaper...or at least <$300 :rolleyes:

[Kuroimaho]

q9650 on air. Ooops.

http://www.nordichardware.com/image3.php?id=3886

[SuperMiguel]

will the maximus extreme be the best choice por that qx9650???

[JamesXP]

ES' Suck :(


It will be the high end board but doesn't mean its the best board.

[SuperMiguel]

ummm, anything new coming out that looks that cool?

[Kuroimaho]

Is this a beauty contest ?
I bet the block is as useful as the watercooled ram to choke the pump.

[SuperMiguel]

dont know if is a beauty contest but that mobo with the water block is kind of cute xD

[SuperMiguel]

do you guys know the day that this mobo is coming out??

[Maverick0984]

@ SuperMiguel

You need to chill out. The chip isn't even released yet, it is nearly impossible for people to know what board (that also isn't released yet) will be best for it.

Yikes. You seem so excited, heh.

[SuperMiguel]

i was just wondering when the board is comming out? if they said that the chip is coming november 7 and they now a price for it, i want to know the same thing about the board

[Psychotron]

jflaksjfl;sjldkf

I'm talking about the entire thread, not just the previous post you made before mine :rolleyes:

[SuperMiguel]

if you dont know just dont post..... the forums are made to answer question, when ever you ask something i dont send you go www.google.com thats why you use a forum to get answers quick, and if im exited about that my friend is not your problem =)

[Evilsizer]

well history seems to be repeating and im putting my money on Abit X38 Quad GT(ddr2) board and possibly the X38 MAX(ddr3) boards. abit p965 quad gt was one of the best ocing mobo's for p965, cause of the ability to set the fsb strap. actually have it forced unlike the high end asus boards.

[batboy]

If the socket 775 Penryn is really supposed to be arriving in November, please list a link. Last I heard the November release was going to be server socket 771 (Xeon) with the desktop 775 in January. Of course, maybe I heard wrong or they changed the release dates.

I don't know exactly when the X38 mobos will arrive, buy we will probably start seeing some of 'em about mid October through early November.

[Gautam]

The QX9650 will be released on November 11th. All the others won't be till January.

[batboy]

Ok, so the November release is one extreme outrageously expensive socket 775 and the server lineup.

[SuperMiguel]

is it worth the money to buy a extreme processor they are usually $600 more

[treatmentx]

Just to chime in
X38 no SLI
Skulltrail, yes SLI

last time I checked anyway.

[Deanzo]

is it worth the money to buy a extreme processor they are usually $600 more

In a word no!

Though I will be getting one, but I have my reasons ;)

[SuperMiguel]

hehe, my trully question will be will a extreme overclock better than a regular cpu?

[Evilsizer]

hehe, my trully question will be will a extreme overclock better than a regular cpu?

in alot of cases yes, cause they are high binned cpus with a wide range of multi's. you pay out the ying/yang for that reason.

I've been trying to get my Q9650 to run 4.05GHz - Prime Stable and I think I'm jsut about there, but I think my thermals are still way too high. I'm running a corsair H50 hydro cooler and I'm hitting 72-74c within 15 minutes on Prime small FFTs, any help would be really appreciated...thanks.
