Now, I'll wait for Wednesday's sale (March 23th) to order my graphics...in case some good sale comes up...and after all the 590 comes out on the 24th...might as well wait and see. Not dead set on what to grab yet...the gigabyte HD6990 can be found for $680 (3-year warranty), but it's LOUD! I'd rather go XFX for the lifetime warranty...Also, for the same price, you can grab 2 x Hd6970s which would give you an extra 8% perf, while maybe been not as loud...the HD6990 EXHAUSTs inside the case too (and against the airflow on top of that!

As you can see, the noctua cooler is huge compared to the tiny CPU box... Also, notice the "New P67 B3 REVISION" notice at two different locations on the Asus motherboard box... It means it's the new version...it HAS to be a B3 (all brands would show either a B3 or REV 3 notice if they're the OK ones). For reference, the B3 means: new batch with corrected P67 chipset that doesn't have the SATA2 port degradation issue... Also, the Gskill Ripjaws X Ram modules are somewhat low in height, so no issues with the cooler's fans & fins...it's also 1.5Volts, for the best Sandy Bridge compatibility. actually, that rAM shows on the motherboard's QVL list (qualified RAM for this product)....

I know you are excited. I noticed that NewEgg is sold out of that Mobo. Must be quite popular. I noticed that the PCIe is only x8x8 if you go CF or SLi.. so I guess you are just going with one card to get the full x16. Keep us up to date on the build. I wish you well!!

GTX590 comes out tomorrow morning also...dual 580s downclocked to 600mhz... BUT, The PCI-E bandwidth on P67 brings something new compared to 8x/8x PCI-E 2.0 The CPU itself provides 16 dedicated lanes and the chipset an additional 8 lanes. On my board, there is also a PLX chips that adds "legacy" PCI support aside, without taking bandwidth from actual chipset... Also, this new bandwidth thingy below, taken from anandtech's review... The other major (and welcome) change is the move to PCIe 2.0 lanes running at 5GT/s. Currently, Intel chipsets support PCIe 2.0 but they only run at 2.5GT/s, which limits them to a maximum of 250MB/s per direction per lane. This is a problem with high bandwidth USB 3.0 and 6Gbps SATA interfaces connected over PCIe x1 slots. With the move to 5GT/s, Intel is at feature parity with AMD’s chipsets and more importantly the bandwidth limits are a lot higher. A single PCIe x1 slot on a P67 motherboard can support up to 500MB/s of bandwidth in each direction (1GB/s bidirectional bandwidth). so all high-bandwidth device will benefit form extra bandwidth at 500 MB/s both ways per lane... The analysis from Techpowerup shows that there is a 2% loss from going 8x/8x instead of 16x/16x on a GTX480...2% difference is not noticeable...also, the price of dual 16X/16X enthusiasts boards is a good $90 to $100 more...for a 2 to 4 % gain...and that was with the older p55 PCi-E slots at 2.5GT/s...

Makes sense.. looks like you have done your homework. I wonder why they didn't name it something different? (PCI-E 2.0+ perhaps). I guess the dual x16 boards for intel are much higher, cause I spent a little less than you did on an AMD CPU Mobo and got 3 x16's (if you triple up GFX.. it is actually only x16/x8/x8, but x16/x16 in dual CF/SLi). I have often thought about building an intel rig. I'd like to see your stress test results when your done. Have fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

AMD always offers a little more, especially bandwidth...mostly for Crossfire boards tho...SLI certification on AMD boards is less common (they have to pay royalties to nVIDIA to get the certification/permission and they change 5$ to $10 a board to the mobo makers) Intel did bad when: -You want to OC = Unlocked cpu (K-series+P67 board) -You want to benefit from onboard video (imbedded in Sandy's CPU core) you NEED a H67 board which don't OC...lol Z68 chipset will offer both Overclocking AND the use of the SB graphics...

FOR YOUR INFO, you don't want to manually overclock a card like that... Good thing EVGA offers lifetime warranty!!!!!!!!!! Yea...I know...crazy... The classified is a factory Overclocked card with dual GTX580 chips onboard, linked together by an nVIDIA NF-200 PCI-E bridge chip. NF-200 (SLI bridging interface) It comes with: -The custom EVGA backplate (pretty sexy IMHO) -EVGA GTX590 t-shirt -EVGA high quality mouse pad/ gaming surface (seems like the Razor Destructor mouse pad I estimate a $40 value) -A FREE full copy of 3DMARKS11 -LIFETIME WARRANTY!!!! I know a little overkill...BUT those cards are drawing LESS wattage than dual GTX570 SLI...but you have GTX580 chips (abeit a little downclocked) to keep power within reason...good thing I got an XFX 850 Watts Black edition 71Amps single-rail (made by Seasonic).. the color is a little weird, but it's upside down in my case I'll keep this updated!!! I'll wait for the card to show up to build, that way, I won't install ATI drivers on the fresh install...I'll start nVIDIA from the get go...

Reviewers are using Intel 980X and 990x CPUs for benchtesting their hardware, but Sandy bridge ( with an high-average overclock) offers almost the same CPU power for much less...that 2500K is the most bang for the buck gaming CPU in a long time...if not of all time..even the 2600K+hyperthreading is CHEAP compared to a $999 i7 extreme 980X... I seen a video of the gTX590, where the guy mention the famous "SOURCE" games...(L4D, TF2 and all those) and the GTX590 is so fast in those, it's not even worth it to benchmark using those games... (cause there too easy for today's cards to run) In this day and age of "console ports", like Black ops, this 590 should be good enough until the launch of COD ALL-STARS 50th anniversary (joke)... At least I'll be ready for Battlefield 3 with it's "frostbite 2" demolition engine, Doom 4 (iD software,on the production line), Rage (also from Id Software) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those "close-up" pics are deceiving...if I measure from mobo to top of cooler, it's 7" thick...so many 8"-wide gaming cases are good to go... The right one is mine... Coolermaster ATCS840 full tower...besides, it's my former Antec 300 (which a pretty good cheap gaming case BTW). Now my daughter uses it... That little spoiled brat will get my Q9550/4GB/HD5870 once my Sandy rig is all set... That Antec 300 could fit my Radeon HD5870 with a 1/4" before it touches the hard-drive cage...pretty good, those Radeons are a little long (11 inches). Of course, the 300 is a little old and there is some nicer alternatives, like the coolermaster Haf 912 ($60 US at newegg.com) and stuff...but something to keep in mind!

The frio was not too bad , just had to read the instructions a few times before fitting. The system is all up and running now , all windows updates done , security , drivers etc Even found the time for a little overclocking lol Just gone for a 4.5 clock for now till I get used to it , hit a max temp of 66 degree's when I was running Prime95 I am extremely impressed with the setup , its benchmarking very sweet. I am gonna attempt to put some pics up , might go wrong so bear with me , I am an idiot when it comes to pics for some reason!

My card is a 5850 , recon I will upgrade that around christmas time when I have saved a bit. Clocked mine to 4.8 earlier but it wasnt stable and I was at 1.39vcore , still alot of speculation as to what a safe everyday voltage is for these chips so I backed it down to 4.6ghz at 1.36v which will be fine for now lol. Passmark performance test result was amazing at 4.8ghz tho , check the scores out for all the other top cpu's on this list - www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html At 4.8ghz my 2600k scored 12443 Not bad considering the price eh!
