I dont normally recommend, but if you can get a gigabutt board like the ud5 for cheap do so. its to pricey at retail cost... (2 bills on newegg) but at 40 lower.. the power train is excellent.
Intersil PWM controller, Vishay/silconix MOSFETs, nichicon/Fujitsu solid caps and for hte p-fets, niko semis all around.
Only issue I can see, and its not written.. I cant find a data sheet on the intersil... is it might be a 0-70C temp range based on its GCRZ controller, the AIRCZ ones are rated to -40. And that close to the CPU... might be an issue.

Great if you're an LHe accessible oc enthusiast, sad if using Ln2 you can only pull off 6.5ghz. The great thing about the cedar's was Ln2 kept it cool.
Regardless, new tech is always fun tech  especially when it be cheapah.

7.8 on the ES samples actualy.. which means... x.x or 8 ghz once in the hands of serious clockers.
Dont matter what intel ES chips clock worse than retail samples? Puhlease.
$300 for high end AMD... lol x79 chips are going to be a 500-1000 and aint even going to be complete
(funny that intel storage is worse than marvell storage now... look at the new chip from them  whee about time that someone came out with a CPU accelerated chip that outperformed intels own storage CPU accelerated chip  )

the chips they had yes were ES but on LN2 they were high 7's on the GHz scale but also remember that they are hand picked samples. they binned a bunch and wound up with 8 of them that did 8+ GHz
but as we know ES vs retail could be either bad or good we will have to see when retail arrives.

OF course it is an ES sample parade.
So all 980X vantage score should be moot that pass 6+ GHz? right? Obvious ES 
Just saying, I do not care, does not effect me in hte slightest, I ma a OC n00b. It effects you pros maybe. not me though.

One thing I do miss about amd is having the pins on the chip lol they seem more beefy then the ones on the boards in intel land.
If this is only good for cpu-z, I will stick to $5 celerons all day.
