9-10-11-28 2133 MHz @ 1.65v is on the stickers.
XMP on 1155 sets 9-10-9-27 @ 1866MHz, 1.5v. Works just fine with all 4 sticks and default CPU voltages(1.05v on IMC). My kit may not reflect retail specs and such. Not sure if anyone else has these yet. ![]() I'll have 2011 numbers as time permits. Not sure on when the platform launches, maybe January, I dunno, but we did get a lot of board annoucements today, so perhaps sooner? I am not sure... I'll do a proper review in the coming months when I get the rest of the parts...jsut be aware that G.Skill has a specialized line for SKT2011, as you can see. |

@cadaveca
So are you saying that you actually have an SB-E system in for testing? If so, I'm soooo jealous! qubit wears his best green-with-envy faceCan you give us any model numbers or anything?

No, I do not have CPUs or boards...yet. Some boards will be no problem to get(obviously), but like with SKT1155, I do expect to not have a CPU until after launch, and I'll have to buy my own like I did with 1155, and still have to do with AM3+. I had 1155 boards at least a month before that launch, and hope to get a CPU direct from Intel, but that's just a hope at this point. I'll need an unlocked chip, and that's not going to come very cheaply is I have to buy my own.
However, I do expect to have board reviews either at launch, or shortly after. I am working towards making that a possibility, including updating my benchmarks; the ram is but one small part. I mean, after all, it's just ram, and the only thing really special about it is the binning of 4 stock together, and SPD/XMP profile for X79, as there are only so many memory IC's available on the market today. There's nothing really "fancy" under the hood, that i can tell so far. |

Sure do. Would rather wait and see what retailers do though. FX-8150 ain't no $245.

I figured it's not a big issue.
Would a cleared bios reset to the board's manufacture date? In which case it needs to be a socket 2011 board which surely wouldn't be from 2005 (it'd be a UEFI bios surely as well.) Meh, I'll wait for concrete reviews. I've set money aside for IB but I'm being swayed toward SB-E again.... It's been a while since I've been so eager on a tech review. |

It depends. Some reset to the earliest available, while others reset to the date the BIOS was made.
I cannot comment to performance...I do not have a CPU yet. |

![]() I googled for SB-E overclocking, but there's no prerelease goodies out there just yet. ![]() EDIT Tell a lie, here's some prices: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4626/i...ridgee-pricing

2500 MHz, 4 sticks, and cas 7? Impressive. I could finally let my sector 5s stretch their legs... it's just too bad it doesn't do squat outside of benchmarks.

Subbed, I'm looking forward to upgrading to SB-E as I skipped 1155 for obvious reasons
![]() My old Rampage 2 Extreme is still rocking but it's time for the Rampage 4 to take the throne in my case! |

Checked with a local computer hardware store. They said they would have this stuff in stock next week!
![]() But they didn't want to confirm price ranges

Microcenter prices are looking a little high.
