Well it's not a step forward for gamers!

Only gains you'll get are video encoding or higher/multi load tasks over LG1155.

Im not gonna both with waiting till Ivy. It's still 6 months out yet... From what I've read there appears to be a LG1155 chip coming in Ivy, if this is true then that's sweet.

Although who knows with Intel. The LG1366 was meant to be the flagship for ages and the i7 2600k is on the LG1155 and not LG1366 like i expected (this is going back 3 years or so now), and now SB-E is LG2011

The 2600K is not the flagship though.. i7 990X still is (for some tasks)

Sandy Vadge is for mainstream users who want performance at the right price.

It's just a little funny how well even a supposedly weaker 2500k will take the fight to Intel's $1k+ 6-core monstrosity..

2600k is 1155 socket, not 1366 - that was my point.

It's a i7 label but on a 1155 architecture. There was no indication i7 was going to that socket early on in the days of the i7 920. i3/i5 was meant to live there is what I mean and the i7 to be the enthusiast on 1366.

Im glad i didn't end up going to the 1366 back a while ago, would have been a shot in the foot really as 1366 is effectively dead.

Try buying a 6 core 1155 ;)

LGA2011 will replace 1366 soon anyway.

Not sure if I need 8 cores though...haha, need, sif not get 8 cores.

Why not be a man and water the cool cpu, can get a good full kit for about $160 to get you started, been running mine water cooling system for about a year know and would never go back to air cooling! There is something about having a radiator in your PC...

+1 On the water cooling, I would get this....

XSPC Rasa 750 RX360 Universal CPU Water Cooling Kit - $199 from PC Case Gear.

I got the XSPC Rasa 750 RX240 kit, the biggest bonus is it drops the temp of the whole case down coz there is no hot air in and around the mother board.

A 2600k will do 4.5ghz on air, more than my E8400 does not on air!

Really cant see a reason to water cool

That is still rather impressive on air, what temp is your motherboard getting to?

I don't have a 2600k... Yet haha.

It will be hitting 4.5ghz as that seems to be the common result for most chips on the latest stepping. So I realistically cannot see mine being much lower as long as I get all the supporting bits.

My E8400 however sits @ 4.1ghz 24x7, and has since Nov 2008 :)

Was @ 4.3ghz but when the ambient is about 27-28c it gets angry at me. Not sure about mobo temps, either way they aren't high as I've not really changed them. Only alteration is the vcore which is 1.32 @ idle and 1.28 @ load so a bit of droop, but nothing overtly worrying for what was a mid-range board back then.

Thast good, everytime I have tried to overclock my i7 950 the thing might run nice for a week or two then is cranky to start so set it back to standard, seams to be to the point now if I change anything it just wont start

What voltage did you use?

im guessing too much lol

I will have to see if I can find the spead sheet I was using other wise I would have no idea, One of the things I read somewere was to increase certain settings by 10% then 15%, I think it was around the 20% mark I had problems, as I realy had no idea wtf I was doing, I figured it was time to give up while it still ran lol

any need for the 6970? there is heaps of articles now about the 6950 just needing a flashing of its bios to be the same as a 6970.

any particular reason other than OCing as why you have gone the i7 over the i5 2600k, i am looking at the i5 thats all....

i7 has 2 threads per core, plus 2mb more cache. Means virtually nothing for gaming, but some programs that use hyper-threading are much faster.

Also only some 6950's can be flashed these days, most now have the shaders lasered off. I was one of the lucky ones, but these days it's a bit of hit-and-miss.

The 2600k is i7 branding also not just i5.

Same price too, why not i say!

RE: 6950 - ye been reading up on that recently.

I might hold off till more is known about the 7XXX series, some rumours starting to leak now so hopefully more solid info in coming weeks (month).

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
