That is going to be the most UN-bottlenecked X1900XT ever. Have you got any 3DM06 results from when it was in previous rigs to compare it against?

I'll run 06 for a giggle.

What does it compare like against your 920 ?

No difference in windows. I just have it lashed up on the bench.

The MSI board is a quality bit of kit, very impressed. The Bios is to say the least comprehensive!

We got a great bargain.

Sounds like the bulk of the GD65 are in Monday.

Remember all you that ordered the GD65 are Guaranteed a board for the price paid.

Yes, this is true (and for that I am v happy

)

God bless OcUK forums though, cos without the forums I would still be wondering why my £9 p&p ex VAT for next day delivery hasn't worked. (I have recieved no e-mail correspondance from OcUK explaining the hold up)

Along those lines (fully understanding the pressures that the OcUK staff are under), whats the deal with selecting next day delivery and it taking (if the boards do come in on Monday) a week to get to me?
I assume the next day delivery is NOt guaranteed?
(If it is...can I have my pre-order Windows 7 tomorrow please?

)

Just making some clocking notes and I'm going to see what this I5 can do on stock volts and cooling.

always "in our warehouse queue", anybody could tell me if my GD80 has been shipped~~

If you had an email saying you will get one then you will.
Think the wait will be worth it

Why would you want short ones? :confused:

Planning on Multi gpu on a 1x PCI-E slot?

Jamous · 11 Sep 2009 at 19:49

I want them because others got them so it looks like they normally come with the board

Ducky Spud · 11 Sep 2009 at 19:57

Mine was meant to come today and accordin to dpd trackin it was attempted and they left a calling card through the white door... My house has a brown door lol. Last time they got lost too and needed to call for directions so maybe just gone the wrong house again... Bit annoying.

Looking at bit-tech's review today it looks like theirs only had the long ones too. (based on the picture on the first page)
I wonder if its only the 80 that gets long AND short ones

OK - so now they're giving them away with bread.

What next, lard?

Deluxe1 · 11 Sep 2009 at 21:59

Fatboy,when are the GD80's coming in?

Simon D · 12 Sep 2009 at 06:55

I have my P55-GD80 not brought from OCuk, looks like a very nice board

I still not made up my mind if I will keep the board, as it was a impulse buy.

As I just upgrade my E8500 to Q9950 (running at 3.63Ghz), happy with the extra performance from my new quad, system stable with low temps and volts.

The problem I see that the i7 860 processor are over price at present, with the 8GB DDR3 memory I would like to buy is still too costly and I have to buy a new cooler or bracket as well.

All this extra cost for small performance increase, could save the money for the new ATI card.

I may be better off sell it on MM.

Just bear in mind that if you do, you can't be seen to be making a profit on it. Plus, everyone on here now knows you got it for £85, so probably better on the 'bay?

EDC · 12 Sep 2009 at 07:37

i7 860 needs to drop by about 15-20 quid or at least to the same price level as the i7 920, Intel pricing is the same for both chips.

Thanks, still thinking about selling it, depends on me selling my Q9950 for a decent price.

But I would sell the board for the same price I paid for it, to keep in the spirit of things, as plenty of people missed out on the offer. But it would have to be collected.
