nice find!
Splave is the man!


damn i wish i am good enough to be there!

Thanks, for some reason that did not show up when I went to it originally :S

Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome interview Splave! I also enjoyed K|ngp|n's ad on the back cover. :D

I wish the OC board would have made an earlier apperance, I would like to see how it rolls

you see the CPU area ..... nothing in the way FTW

I haven't read the article about it yet. Sandy Bridge's efficiency killed this board IMO. That and the inconsistancy of the 980/990x's out there in retail. I mean the Rampage Extreme came really late to the party, but the situation was different IMO. I agree though, just a few months earlier and this would have been totally kick ass. Now I don't know how many they will sale and that sucks because they may not want to make the variant for s2011.

Im done with x58 :)

Agree with you chuch

Everyone is excited about 1155. Only thing a x58 is good for now is kind of 06, and vantage. And am3 + 05 if your cpu is beast :P.

And vantage is booooring! + vantage you can play at 5.5ghz don't need a strong board or cpu.

So yea like you said, sales won't be that high, then head office will be like naaaah OC boards don't sell. But if they made P67A-OC i think it would have been #1 seller at this moment

I think a lot of people are.


Right. See when the Rampage Extreme came out the X58 hadn't launched. Now the OC board has a competing platform to go up against that gives you more points for the buck. Plus even when X58 launched it was slow at 01 which still made the Rampage an awesome board to own. SB destroys s1366 in 01 and is way too expensive to play Vantage and 06. If Gulftown was stronger in a wider variety of benches then things could/would change a little bit. As of right now I just don't see too many self-funded overclockers (ie; actually buy the OC boards) willing to shell out $1000 for the CPU + buy the board to score in just two benches. Why do that when you can buy a nice SB setup for the price of the locked i7 970 and pwn a majority of benches on hwbot?

Agree totally.
And binning is allot easier.

2600k price vs 980x..

can't even compare.

If there was a cpu like 925k (6core 32nm cheap unlocked cpu) things would have been different :). But noooo intel insist on making this unbinnable 1000$ thing.

Ive had 2 and they both suck major piss, never again I told myself after the 2nd one :) 3x2600k is more fun then 1x990x anyways!
