gah taht socket still creeps me out... something about placing the chip in a bare plastic socket... then again i guess i really do like how you can remove the hold down so much easier on the X58 and P55 boards now.

Lookin forward to see the results

EDIT: I do not like how they call the new chip an I7 as I can see where somoe regular consumers like the ones I deal with every day will be all pissy because they cannot fit this new 870 in their classified....


GOD HELP ME!!! i can forsee stupid calls in the future

I see many many many bent pins in the future.... hell dude i had a call from a guy who got upset because his Q9550 wouldnt boot in his classified.... mind you thats a $400+ motherboard he just forced the chip down on the pins in the socket with teh loading mechanism.... think about that

Keep us up to date on this one dinos. I was lookin and liken this board the other day. I wonder what these mobos/cpus will achieve? 6ghz? Maybe I'm dreamin. I'm just wondering what will be the e8600 replacement or if there will ever be one.

[punx223]

from looking at the intel info already out there nip it looks as though core I3 if it ever comes around will be a hyperthreaded dual core aimed at all teh core2duo's as replacements, i think this will be kind of a poor mans 920 setup....


What doesnt make much sense as speculative numers put its cost at far more than a I7 920/mid range mobo cost...

also only dual channel ddr3

but otherwise onboard nand could be fun to play with

Well I was wanting to buy another e8600 but had the this thought in my head last night that I might hold off to see if there will be a new bad boy in town soon that would replace it.
