TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Well then I need an interim board. I'd love the Rampage, but it's just too much money. What's the best board without breaking the bank?

the biostar is very good for ocing and is one of the lowest priced.
 
Biostar, interesting...



I just picked up the Foxconn Blodrage for 299.00 it will be fun to test it against the X58 Extreme.

Next week should be a fun week, I hope we get a cold spell up here soon, but for this week I will do all my air testing, then go to antifreeze as soon as the temp drops, prob next weekend...
 
What about the Asus P6T?

bloodrage is good but idk. i think its overhyped. ppl like it cause of the color and im sorry.... color never helped with my testing results. im interested to see how you do with it SV :)

the new p6t? not the old shitty deluxe/palm one?

the new one thats setup for tri sli is good. the old one is shit. :)

The ASUS P6T is available from newegg and ive heard some good things about the Biostar X58 offering. I plna on picking up the Biostar after the first of the year.
 
Yea, i bet there will be some good sales after the 1st, since most stores are reporting poor earnings, some will be overstocked and that is good for us,.

My processor is going to be ordered on Monday, I hope I get a good one. I want to see if DFi is going to be coming out with a X58 DK board. I was never a big DFi guy but this P35 I'm using has grown on me. I emailed them, hopefully I'll get a response.

The Gigabyte board sir Rocker. I would bet my testicles on it.
 
Made in Costa Rica, #3836A68, date 10/27/08.

I won't comment on the Asus boards, but GIGABYTE is the most reliable here.
 
thats a bet i wouldn't want to take :shadedshu

:laugh: Well the P6T is a P0S. The gigabyte board is well made and I've seen wicked OCs on it with 0 complaints from competent folks.
