It's getting a bit crowded in the main one.

Good idea Batman, I'll take a look at it in the morning (but tbh will prolly wait til the Quads arrive then do it, 3 lines will look a bit lonely )

Maaaaaaaan all the non-sleepers are in da house tonight eh

Does the 680i support Wolfdale?

I think that's the case but check your vendors site for bios/compatibility confirmation

eVGA might depend on mobo revision etc


edit - OMG just got to the eVGA Support section, lots of pics of fellow nerds

Didn't get up until 1pm so i'm not at all tired (week off work ).

On a side note I was thinking about when we're going to see some mATX Phenom boards.

And Tom, I don't always buy what's fastest or "bang for buck". There's no fun in that at all (although I do try and recommend it to others).

 

[JediFragger]

AM2+ mATX? You got me bud! ScottieB looks after MoBo's, I'll give him a kick tomorrow

I didn't spot any in the CES coverage though

 

[Reality|Bites]

looks like it will only supports Wolfdale and not Yorkfield.

That's ok by me, I don't need quad core yet.

I bet I still get a 780i board though

Also, I hate you

These looks very tempting, but my question is, how will a very overclocked dual core compaire to a quad core where the power is needed?

Allso, will there be quad 45nm processors any time soon?


Cheers

 

[rikky]

Yes the quad core 45nm processors will be out in the next couple of months ... looks like Intel are trying to get as much money out of us as usual - superfast overclockable core 2 duo's followed by everybody needing to upgrade to the superfast quad core's a couple of months later. I think I will wait until the quads hit the market myself.

 

[Reality|Bites]

Nobody actually needs quad core yet, Those that do are in the very small minority.
Others just want them to stay ahead of the curve.
If all you use your PC for is general entertainment, be it gaming, movies, internet etc.. all you need at the very most is dual core.

Agreed.

also these chips will obviously fetch a good amount of money back if sold later on.

Brilliant . I still have my 2900Pro so I can sell that. I don't think I'll even have to pay for this 8400. (woot) Gotta love not having to spend money!.

Now I've got to find out if my motherboard can max 500FSB .

 

[HighlandeR]

Any real need to wait for the quads over the 8400/8500?

1333mhz / 4 = 333.66

8x
9x
9.5x :s

At a guess .

How slow was I

 

[Deluxe1]

Jedi,if you get these in stock before the end of the week and youve pre-ordered one is there anychance of them being sent out on friday so we would recieve them on the monday?

 

[toothe]

hmm was hoping to see a cheaper model. but guess its not rly bad. hope they drop a bit after launch though.

 

[melbourne720]

No one will be getting a e6850 now! Still a bit pricey, although it would be nice to have 4GHz goodness in reach of the common (air cooled) man

Even at that price, I have no doubt OCuk will sell out of the first batch of these.

 

[FreeStream]

o_O thats nice.
