HardOCP has two great video previews of the ASUS and MSI X58 boards. One is over 11 minutes long, and the other is just over five minutes. Check 'em out!

Yeah I watched the one on the MSI motherboard already, The Asus one I didn't know about, So thanks.

Here's the one on the Asus X58 motherboard, That's on the [H]ardOCP.

And the one for the MSI Eclipse(X58) on the [H]ardOCP.

I found a New cooler for LGA1366 and It's from Thermalright and this time a fan may be included in the price It seems.





This cpu cooler on an Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard.

Can't see anything different to what I have been using for months on my LGA775 - guess the fixings might be changed.

Brilliant cooler but the fins are closer together than some so need more frequent vac or canned air.

Your top pic shows a beauty of the Asus MoBo's: the CPU fan in that position pulls the air over the RAM so "2 birds with one stone".

You can already buy a fan from NewEgg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835114080. Not as cool, but it's still a fan I guess.

yes, nehalem reguires a little different mounting, since it is 8cm x 8cm instead of 7cm x 7cm.
we moved a part of the chipset into the processor, so, we increase the size of the socket, for the additional space we may need in the futur.

I get that Francois, But did the memory voltage have to be moved into the cpu? Couldn't the vdimm voltage have been left in the North Bridge chip? Or was that impossible or just not practical?

Also I just noticed this:

Overclockers clock Core i7 965 easily to 4.2GHz

msattler might be getting some company eventually. ;)

There's also a poll over at PC Perspectives as to what people would like them to cover more in their reviews, So far SSD's have the lead with Intel Nehalems in 2nd place, No registering is needed to take part in the poll of course.

Solid state drives
Intel Nehalem
VIA Nano and/or Intel Atom
AMD Puma or Centrino 2
NVIDIA and AMD GPUs
PhysX

Nah, by that time with one of those beasts he'll be up near 6Ghz... :)

... Oh nooooooo...

Not the infamously stupid "Turbo mode"...

I thought that had been completely and utterly discredited with the "TurboCache" of certain memory crippled graphics cards of the past.

Or does Marketing still dream that "Turbo" and naked pouting women somehow increase sales of any-old-anything to all men?


What does the "Turbo" term mean anyway? The digital electronics should be working exactly at acceptable margins for maximum performance to begin with. Does "Turbo" mean that it's going to burn out?


Happy crunchin',

Turbo at one time meant an overclock button I think, But today? No idea, Sounds like PR. At least cases and such don't support It, Yet.

That was back in the days of the old 2 MHz(?) 386 PCs. The new 4 MHz 386s ran the computer games at x2 speed which was too fast for most people. The hardware fix was to have a push button that selected either the old 2 MHz CPU clock or the 4 MHz CPU clock... I guess "Turbo" was an apt name for that.

Now we have GHz and multiple CPU clock rate steps.

Meanwhile, "Turbo" has become a much maligned and misused term of confusion...

Any other ideas?

Cheers,
Martin

Nope and It was 8MHz(PC-XT compatibility 8088 cpu) and 12MHz(PC-AT(80286) or faster speeds?) as I recall, Now that's ancient history. :D

What if Fiction was Fact and Fact was Fiction and vice versa?

I had a Tandy 4MHz switch to 8MHz was called regular and fast or something likes that if I recall right. On the left of the switch was marked 4MHz and throw the switch to the right and it was marked fast 8MHz. It was a little slide switch.
