** SandyBridge-E Benchmarking **

Same here - anytime after the 26th for me...
though with the build Im planning, I doubt I will have a fully working machine until Feb

im just waiting till the 1st week of january for the sales if there will be any (Im hoping so) im so looking forward to building a new rig and being able to play all the lastest games again

well the missus will be buying me 200 quids worth of bits, I will have 700 odd to spend after the 25th, so I will be about 80-85% there with buying bits, but unless I drop the requirement for raid 0 or something else, I cant see me building until feb payday comes around...

Christmas quickie

Ordered my X79 mobo, SSD, PSU and RAM yesterday, but Im going to order the CPU after the C2 stepping becomes available which is meant to be Jan 20th, though the wait is going to kill me...

despite the stongest possible hints and time spent going through my wish list with my missus, she still didn't get me as many PC bits as I wanted, I ended up with the Noctua NH-D14 as my only techie bit from her.

Same SSD as you, though I went down the sabertooth route for the mobo, and went for the 2133mhz Gskill memory as it was on special and with the 5% xmas offer, it seemed silly to not to

Got the coolermaster 1000W PSU as Im planning 2 x 470 SLI

all I have to do now is get the cpu and choose a case which is the hard bit as I want one I can watercool later on..

i nearly got the sabertooth but thought the pro would be fine for me i was going over budget as it was so thought theres not much diff so ill go for the pro and same for the ram

and yes the 5% discount is what made me order plus the free delivery that saved me bout £100 cant argue with that

Have you done OC yet?

no not yet not sure how exactly to oc i havent looked properly into it yet but from the way i understand it ive just got to increase the multiplyer a bit and maybe the volts but i read somewhere i need to do something with the turbo so it doesnt interfere is this right?
