Best G19 app I've ever seen. Period.

2600K also has less cores, and less cache. Shouldn't have to tell you how that can affect OC performance.

Yes i know that lol, The performance increase of the X79 doesnt seem to be much at all, Iam still debating on trying it out tho

As for Volts on 32nm i wouldnt go more then what 24.7v is on 2600k/990x of 1.3875

My 980x at 4.5Ghz 1.4 v doesn't go over 60 deg c under H2O

I had a 990x the same way snap kinda regret selling my X58 setup.

Iam on the hunt for some old 775 gear again, Got any you want to offload send me pm

My 990X did 4.4 at 1.375, So maybe these will do 4.4 with safe 24/7V


But even still a 2600k still beats it in most instances

i7 2600k 8mb cache vs i73960x 15mb cache plus 2 more cores = more volts more heat and less overclock potential but you get more cores 50% more and more cache. Performance is better than thr 2600 even if the core count was the same the cache will boost some fps in games and other apps.

How's the UD7 treating you gmeup?

[snappy1]

Sandy is faster in 2D

dont know yet i havent opened the box's yet i want to take some photos tonight and post up of the opening

This was on a faulty CPU. Going to RMA it next week.

What I meant by faulty that it refuses to run more than 4 dimm and even with 4 dimm, it needs to be placed not close to the CPU... (no its not the board, the board was tested with another CPU and its running fine).

just look at those volts..... scary..

mobo: msi x79 gd65 (8)
gpu: gtx 590 GB
ram: 16gb corsair c9 (should have been running 32gb..)


anyone wanna see my wc setup?

umm I do not know where your getting your information but sb-e is slower than sb in everything other than heavily threaded progs, the extra cache is actually hurting the sb-e because they used high density modules so the access and latency time is much slower than sb, the only way it nearly catches is due to quad channel ram.

Thats what i have been trying to say UF

SB-E altho alot more expensice to just SB the OCING on it really is pittyfull, My 990x oc'd better, As per biasasaja screenie 1.5v for 4.6 is scary shit, 990x did 4.6 at just 1.4v

And as for benchies the 2600k keeps up, The 2600k Is a monster for a mainstream platform,

So anybody in there right mind would buy a 2600k over X79

Well atleast iam going to stick with z68 till the next platform, This will make the first time i have skipped a platform since core 2 duo came out,

Mate, let me put it simply to you. The sandy bridge E is faster its the fastest platform and fastest cpu on the planet.

I know that its simply a 2600k cpu with 2 extra cores and extra cache and quad channel ram. I;m not saying its a huge difference but i didnt jump on the sandy bridge wagon like most people did and going from X58 to X79 was what i wanted

A 980/990x is better Even a 2600k is, If you look at reviews you will see that SB-E is truly not worth the money, I dont normally look at price / performnce per $ but you have rocks in your head for jumping on the 1st revision,

You should have waiting for the new revisions of mobo's and cpu's coming out feb/narch next year,

Plain ans simple SB-E is FAIL, Not as much as BD tho

Mate im sorry but you are wrong, in single threaded programs 2600k beats SB-e , it is slower, mate i have been beta testing SB-E for the last 2 months. but hey im sure you know better , how much have you used SB-E ?? or are you just going by second hand information ??
