Poll: What processor do you have on your Rampage Formula mobo? (vote above)
I had a choice: purchase open box maximus formula and flash bios to rampage formula or just shell out the $$ for a rampage formula. As I hope this will last me 2+ years (even more mbe as I can't afford to upgrade too often) I sprung for the rampage formula. Under $300 at clubit and you can get a free t-shirt or hat.
My processor won't be shipped until 3/31 so I won't have that last piece of my new build until 1st week of april.
case: cooler master cm-690
(lots of fans, plan to run 'em all slow via Sunbeam Rheobus fan controller
psu: seasonic s12
cooling: tuniq tower 120
cpu: q9450
memory: g.skill ddr2-1000 (5-5-5-15) 2x2gb
video: EVGA GeForce 8600
mobo: rampage formula
I plan for modest OC, not really sure what yet. Will post results as I'm able to do so. I do mostly video editing so I wanted the sse4.1 instructions (even though my software doesn't use them yet) and the quad will really help me to keep working while rendering/encoding a project. I hope that when my software does use multiple cores that I can specify how many to allow it to use.
Anyone else have this combo? rampage formula and 9xxx cpu? I'm curious how the 9300, 9550, qx9650 are doing with this mobo. (Did I miss any current 9xxx cpus?)
