Hi, I,m just wondering when the new tripple channel Sandybridge boards are coming out?

I was going to buy the Dual but with all the problems etc i am thinking of waiting.

Any News...

Thanks.

The Sandybridge/1155 architecture is dual channel, I don't think there will be any triple channel boards.

Yea, pretty sure there aren't going to be any triple channel, new revision of the chipset (to fix current problems) is due in the next 2-3 months ish, but if your on about the socket 2011 CPUs, that are out later in the year, they are going to be quad channel I believe.

triple channel is dundo brutha

quad channel is next in line.

I think you mean the quad channel socket 2011 Sandybridge_E processors which are due sometime in Q3 if all goes to plan.

I think Sandy Bridge will be staying dual channel for now. Triple channel seems to be out anyway.

And damn, quad channel O.o. I believe DDR4 is being developed too, although I don't know / don't think that will be this year.

I think DDR4 is currently aiming for a 2015 launch schedule, so it's a long time away.

Ok,

I thought that one of the moderators on here said when the first Sandybridge came out that there was some new boards coming out in about march/april this year.

Is there some other boards on the way soon then?. I want to start my build but not with the current problems. It wouldnt be so bad, but i have been waiting since November to do the build

There are new boards coming out in the next few months, but as far as I know, the only difference between them, and the boards available at the moment, is that the new ones will have the new revision chipset, which solves the current SATA problem.

Krislord · 17 Feb 2011 at 18:57

I think the OP is thinking of the Z68 boards. These combine the benefits of the P67 and H67 boards. They don't change the RAM support as far as i know. Before that we should have P67 and H67 boards with revised chipsets that don't have the SATA bug.

Ok, so seems like the only thjing to do is waaiitt .... for the fixed version of the current boards before ordering a new Mobo etc..

Cheers

Yea, they are triple channel boards, however they aren't sandybridge boards, which the OP was asking about

Ah, misread your post as X58 & LGA 1366, after a little searching (not sure I had come across 1356 before) it seems it is meant to be a triple channel SB board... Seems stupid that Intel are going to have 3 difference CPU sockets for different SB chips...

LePhuronn · 26 Feb 2011 at 15:19

socket 1365 has been dropped - it's only 1155 or 2011 now.

So there's no triple-channel Sandy Bridge coming, only dual-channel and quad-channel
