We get ever closer...
More Core i7 Benchmarks trickle out.
The Nehalem Tock is only milliseconds away...

NDA has now been lifted I hear, Here's a complete review over on the PC Perspectives website:

Bump for Core i7?!

---

- Luke.

I'm looking at getting the Foxconn Blood Rage, this X58 motherboard has only 3 ram slots, But from what I've read over at XtremeSystems and from Hexus.net, It seems like a kickass motherboard.



Hopefully Newegg will carry this motherboard when It's released for sale in December(or so I've read). I made a recommendation to Newegg of course.


I lifted this from XtremeSystems as their copy from vr-zone.com was way too big, So I linked to It for detail instead. :D

ASUS P6T DeLuxe - X58 motherboard

Here’s a video on the board
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPnqk4TJKc0&feature=channel

That Foxconn BloodRage has got to be the coolest looking mainboard I've ever seen. It's definitely going on my short list for when I upgrade to Core i7 (unfortunately, not any time soon).

Cruiser
Gateway GT5692 L-f-S Edition
-Phenom X4 9650 CPU
-4GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM
-500GB SATA HD
-Vista x64 SP1
-BOINC 6.2.19 32-bit client
-SSE3 optimized 32-bit apps

That Foxconn BloodRage has got to be the coolest looking mainboard I've ever seen. It's definitely going on my short list for when I upgrade to Core i7 (unfortunately, not any time soon).

And If rumor turns out to be true, Not only is It going to be less than $400.00, But possibly less than Most X58 motherboards, The only question is by How much.

Being able to use a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme for LGA775 or a Xigmatek HDT-S1283/Kingwin RVT-12025 w/a Thermalright 775 bolt thru kit instead of buying a new LGA1366 heatsink will help those on a budget. Push pin 775 heatsinks w/o a bolt thru kit won't work as the i7 cpu is a bit taller than the Core2 cpus I've read.

BloodRage motherboard,
3GB Patriot PC3-12800 Blue Viper ram(light Blue color),
Intel i7 920 cpu,
CoolerMaster HAF 932 case.

And that should be enough for Me to upgrade one of My dormant PCs and maybe get to 4GHz or so.

For those that have an X58 motherboard and also have one or more ATi video cards, Here's an AMD Hotfix for X58:

Foxconn has a page on the BloodRage up and It's Here, Downloads for other Quantum Force motherboards are there also.


Now is that Box RED or Not? :)

Here's the I/O backplane of the motherboard:

Have to wait until the prices fall and we can afford all of that. Dreaming is allowed, however. And growling.

35. 3-CoolerMaster HAF 932 cases, to replace older restrictive cases, makes cooler cpus!

My current recliner and Sofa are old and broken due to time and usage. You'll notice Your goals and mine don't quite align, My corrections are in Bold.

You're welcome Jari, I added #35 as I can't think of everything at once, Besides It was 84F in here and 70F outside.

Joker,

03. P3 Kill A Watt Meter 4460
- P3 Get A Watt, more expensive, though, Nope, This is the USA, It has a reset button and works with 110vac 60Hz electricity here
= know the voltages, but wouldn't it be nicer to Get a Watt instead of killing one?
06. Transfer Title from NV to CA
- Finland suffices for me, maybe not for you, Finland? I live in the USA
= do they know the difference?
-----
09. New Recliner
- old suffices, Old is Broke!
13. New Sofa
- no must have, Old is Broke!
= we in Finland usually sleep on the floor, without any needs for a recliner, or for that matter a sofa. We're just happy with what we have. You yankees should learn that stupid attitude also. Blaah, my throat just dried, just a sec.
Ok, throat cleared. Tough tough bed, alas.
-----
22. Ryobi 18V DRILL STARTER KIT (1 FLASHLIGHT, 2 BATTERIES, & 1 CHARGER) P811
- must have an electrical engineer degree, Baloney
= 18 volts means you can harm all of the aqcuarium's fauna. Yöu wouldn't want that, would you? My bet is that give it up for the besser-wisser.
-----
24. Stargate: Continuum(DVD)
- what?, You mean You've never herd of Stargate SG1?
= StarGÃ¥te is a good, touchy-feely SciFi, I just didn't recognize your comment.
-----
OK, and finally, my name is not Hose, it's Jari
No way, yes way....

3. Kill a watt is the devices name, It's a wattage tester only, No watts are actually killed or Kiloed.
6. yes the park would(don't ask and I won't tell).
9.&13. Hard surfaces and I don't get along, I'm barely able to tolerate My bed It's so hard(My back needs support due to joint problems).
22.the drill is a cordless rechargeable model and is not for the fish.
24.Ok, So You've seen the show, Continuum is a short tie up of the TV series.
"No way Jose" is a saying over here(It means nope, not going to do that), Just use Your own name If You want instead of Jose.

And in Helsinki it is 24.4 F (-4.4 C) as of 04:40 EET (02:40 UTC, which would be Universal Coordinated Time [check the ISS at spacewalk.nasa.gov]).

Also we really sometimes sleep in rectlines, sofas and sometimes beds, depending on the better half.

What's the URL for the general weather-tag? Would it work here?

Jari

I have to reply. This is too funny.

3. Kill a watt is the devices name, It's a wattage tester only, No watts are actually killed or Kiloed.
- ok, I just thought it would be nicer for the power company to give-a-watt instead of killing one. But that's what they do already. Woo-hoo.

6. yes the park would(don't ask and I won't tell).
- that was just a joke, as the rest of the latter

9.&13. Hard surfaces and I don't get along, I'm barely able to tolerate My bed It's so hard(My back needs support due to joint problems).
- ok, i'm used to the hawaijii-lava as a bed (nope, not), so by all means, find the best accommodation you can. It's all the best for you.

22.the drill is a cordless rechargeable model and is not for the fish.
- so don't screw the fish with it, they'll recognize and remember, and then you will not be happy (newsbreak: a guy got attacked with angry screwfish, almost nothing could be done. etc)

24.Ok, So You've seen the show, Continuum is a short tie up of the TV series.
"No way Jose" is a saying over here(It means nope, not going to do that), Just use Your own name If You want instead of Jose.
OK Hose. That doesn't sound right. It should be No Way Hose!.

Cheers all over again, Jari


later.
