Intel QX9650 review eVGA GTX 260 core 216 3-way SLi eVGA 780i

[misternumberuno]

I just bought one of these, and I love it. My old CPU? A 500 Mhz Pentium III.

[superflexis]

Wow please teach me your awesome box opening skills!

[cmtification]

is there an electric shaver going on in the background?

[bzcookiemonster]

this kid just buys and builds, he will pay out the most money possible.just to get what ever is top at the time. he has no knowledge. How hard is it to buy the most expensive components on newegg lol... paying with mommys money.. ha

[wootlanter]

Heatsink still has the crappy clips in, instead of screws.

[bergsteinlife]

@wootlanter well its designed by jews in insrael, they are too cheap. even this processor costs 1300 dollars today and comes with clips. i agree withj you

[722egc]

intel >amd

[vicskyline9]

the CPU is more than all three of the GPUS and Motherboard, maybe even RAM combined

[kipdokken]

guys, can i sli a palit sonic gtx 260 216 and the other one is the galaxy gtx 260 216? i need ans guys, pls help. thanks

[mamba360]

nice

[acer0169]

amd > intel

[FIAlex93]

You should really consider a tripod for your camera

[ironsteel46]

gettin' a gulftown...

[cssOhReally]

Even I have and like ATi, I still really like NVidia.

[tklu84]

i have an i7 920 oc @ 3.32 which is as fast as QX9650. n guess wut? i only paid 275 for it

[Matice21]

you are sick!!! the 9650 is a beast over the i7 920

[tklu84]

are u fucking retarded? there is no such thing is that faster than an i7.. do some research then come back to talk to me.

[Matice21]

Sorry, looks like you were right. the core2extreme is 3rd in class to the i7 & i7 extreme edition. sorry about that.

[ItsCassie7411]

gulfdale core i9 q1 2010 fastest CPU for desktops

[Pezdetz666]

@ItsCassie7411

Or AMD's Thuban Phenom II X6 if your income is less than that of an executive's

[TikiShootah]

1000 bucks for somthi that was made redundat a few processors later..damn

[traingp7]

What a shame. That processor cost 1000 bucks back then and just over a year later that thing would get smoked by a 200 dollar 920 I7.

[masterchief3k]

@traingp7 exactly why it's stupid to ever buy an 'extreme' like the poor chaps that bought the pentium 4 EE....

[Georgefromaccounting]

@traingp7 well technology evolves what can i say :p

[ChadBurk4420]

@traingp7 I'm gonna cry I just bought a QX9650 for $250. Your saying I should have gone i7... Oh I guess I didn't wanna upgrade my mother board... I'm lame.

[DemonAMVs]

@traingp7 Thats what technology does, thats what all new PC components do. They are expensive when new, cheap when common and expensive when they become rare.

[SFseis]

@traingp7 Never buy super high end... it just doesn't pay off. All you get it a bad feeling when the next gen processors get released.

[dirtbikeryzz]

Sorry this is off topic but i figured you guys would be able to answer me.

Is alienwares standerd system cooling enough to keep a comp with quad core 2.66ghz, and a GTX 260 cool?

[LuzTeTT]

Yes.

[236Tyler]

alienware is horrible why the fuck would you go with a alienware

[zinzuke5772]

not horrible but way overpriced

[trp09876]

i have chosen 2 cards.which one is the best EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Video Card 896MB DDR3 Vs XFX Radeon HD 4870 Video Card 1024MB GDDR5 these are the 2 cards 4870 has GDDr5 but 256 bit color and 260 has 448 bit colors i guess so please tell me which 1 is better 4870 has 1 Gb ddr3 memo but 260 has 896 memory but ddr3 which 1 is better for gaming i mean i want them for gaming better in performance which one is the best 4870 has good core clock as well as memory clock.on 19" monitor

[amarshall88]

GTX 260

[CleverIdi0t]

Well In That Case The GTX 260 But Pay A Lil More And Get The XFX 4890

[trp09876]

so what do u think which one is better

4890 toxic edition..Vs 4850 x2 2 Gb.. ?

for gaming ..i have a 19 " monitor....

[keelsies00]

it's not 256 bit color, that's the transfer rate or something like that.

[pcandcargeek28]

the BEAST is self lol, i think there disscontinued now due to the i7's etc... nice rig man

[m4rbs]

how much does it cost?

[uut0]

around 900 euros

[m4rbs]

o.O r u serious!

[uut0]

yep the really expensive one is the qx9770 which is around 1200 O_o

[m4rbs]

holy shit!

[coldkeyes]

I must buy one tell where to get one of these things

[aznturtle1]

local computer story, the internet.......(tigerdirect, frys, performance-pcs,......)

[NeedHelpIGotYa]

gatman000g, that depends. Do you want performance, or safety? If you want performance go with raid 0, if you want safety go with raid 1 which mirrors a drive.

[raheemisbad]

OMG 0:45- 0:48 is so hilaruois you were fingering the box lol

[gatman000g]

whats better raid 0 striping or some other raid thats got a SP in it plz help ty

[LegendFury]

Raid 0 is striping. It offers storage and speed.

Raid 1 is mirroring. It offers reliability and security.

[xichtyyy2]

he has lots of money ;)

[CandyHam]

You found Dynex thermal paste to be better than Arctic Silver?

What is the world coming to.

[rmalik23]

There is only a couple of degrees of difference. I've used everything from MX-2 to TX-2.

[SkodaMart]

I am really disappointed we have not had a new video off this guy for over 6 months now!!

[Gamerlol10]

Does tthe 780i motherboard work with pc2 - 6400 ram?

[COD4Cosmos]

yes.

[nemadrol]

I hate intel's stock push pin fan =(.

[Apollo580]

So do I. I was so afraid that I thought I broke my motherboard when I put it in. D:

[simracr94]

is this guy dead? this guy hasnt made a video in a while

[SkodaMart]

Come on Matttttar lets have another video!

[Drifter2080]

yes plz matttttar make one we love them

[DeutscherRitterorden]

nice video!

[Evolution8MR17]

you should have stayed with your q9550, and OC the hell out of it. you can easily get 3.8GHz, and 4.0 GHz if oyu take your times

[ColdingoVich]

What camera do you have? :)

[The2LGameR]

n00b ...

[pubelicious15]

lol he said more videos coming soon and he hasn't added one in 4 months.

[beefbody]

i have this same setup practically! the worst thing about this stuff its has TERRIBLE! resale value. buy it to use for a few years not to upgrade next week again. or give me all the $100's in money you dont mind losing on a regular basis:)

[kdog122]

oh and i cant wait to see your rig finished makes me feel like mines a peice of junk, hahaha good work

[SkodaMart]

Looking forward to your next video! good work, Have you considered core i7 yet?

[chicagochris1988]

I7 920 here. I love the new X58. I will finaly switch from nvidia someday and see what the ATI rave is all about. but for now I will stick with what i have.

[lordmagnum92i]

why have you changed ur Q9550 ?

useless

[Schwarzeneggerrr]

I have Core 2 Quad 3,80Ghz and Gtx 260

[mats932005]

think you have a lot of money ;)

3 evga 260.nVidea mainboard.nVIdea case. a CORE2 EXTREME: i dream about it :(... xD .. but nice nice system ;)

[Tinnesa]

at start i thought the box was entirely flat...

fail.

[morgangamer22]

COOL

[06sterling]

Lol when the sirens started in the background, you started ending the video and sped up a bit..... got something to tell us?! lol. Great great great setup. I am AMD/ATI at heart but i love it all, and you may get another Intel user here in a few months if the 45nm Phenom II's flop. SUBSCRIBED

[Xezmer]

you spend a grand on a cpu, and open it with scissors? dude i'd open that crap with my mom's diamond earring

[janmartin94]

LOOOOOOOL.. i laughed so high when i saw ur comment dude... real good :D..

[Xezmer]

i got -1'd ;D

[dolmaface]

whats sucks is gytx 295/285 comin January and my q6600 is at 3.4 ghx running faster then qx9650 stock speed.

[derderfan56]

it doesnt matter what your q6600cpu clock is....

The chip is still a better chip because of the threading...its two dual cores working together instead of four cores on there own

[dolmaface]

q6600 is 4 cores, e6600 is two, i have the q6600

[derderfan56]

I know its 4 cores...what an extreme processor is is like two CORE 2 DUO's working in tandum..

instead the q6600 is like 4 single processors working apart.

[ChIkEnAtEmYdOnUtS]

...no... the q6600 is 2 core 2 duo's working together...

[derderfan56]

If you're correct and have proof please provide a link to back up your statement.

Thank you

[ChIkEnAtEmYdOnUtS]

It is 2 e6600's. Duh. It's like *EVERY* single q series cards. i7 is all independant cores, though. so they are much faster

[pika198]

lol xtreme cpu and gpu, but dynex thermal paste. tsk tsk

[catopwnz]

nice man i just got me 3 of those 260 bad boys <3

[illmaticways]

Just the right parts without going overboard with DDR3. Pretty much rapes every game huh.

[cmr12546]

crazy expansive but great parts anyways

[grimmmammoth]

love the videos. Maybe a tri pod would make it easier to do all this . Then you will have two hands, just a thought. Keep up the good work.

[stupidguyaabbcc]

use it 5-6 times? i thought ur supposed to use a little thermal grease?

[tombmxcrowley]

5-6 timnes. he means use it on a cpu and then if you change it you can apply some fresh 5-6 times.

[ndawgtkd]

Looks to me like the zalman and the intel heatsink's fans are the same you may think about simply swapping the fan from the Zalman to the intel (of course that is if the intel heatsink is better, I dont know) and then you would have the better heatsink with the nvidia logo fan :D (and because it would be sitting down you would be able to read the nvidia when it is off)

[yorchais]

emmh so the only difference between the qx and normal q chips is that the qx has an unlocked multiplier?, so they raise their prizes just for an unlocked multiplier?? damn thiefs!!

[mburch1974]

Is that sour feeling in your gut subsiding yet? Tsk...Tsk...Just buy that i7-965 when it comes out on Monday and use your current setup as an oven, toss out that old microwave and use those 3-way SLIs to satisfy your friday-night pizza urges. ALSO, FYI if you would have asked INTEL I'm sure they would have given you a discount perhaps even a roll of those stickers, but be mindful if they watch your video here they might well charge u premium dollar, use an alias! LOL!

[mburch1974]

LOL, StarMicroInc has these processors now for "only" $699.00 Ea. Enjoy those $1000 stickers; wear them on your forehead! I know they will keep you very warm at night. On Mon, Nov 15th, the i7-920 goes arrives which will trump your Qx9650 for 1/5th the price and an incredible 20% performance gain and this from their entry level contender running at 2.66 to your 3 Ghz. Infact I could buy an i7 motherboard for an extra $331.58, with the proc. and still spend less than you did(331.58+284=$615.58)

[ChIkEnAtEmYdOnUtS]

Honestly man, if the sticker is the most important part of a 1000 dollar processor, then you just want this stuff for bragging... Get real.

[8SetMeFree8]

DYNEX!?!?!?!?! $12?!?!?!?! =(

[simracr94]

the q9650 has an unlocked multiplier

[ChIkEnAtEmYdOnUtS]

No it doesn't.

[simracr94]

the q9000 series has an unlocked multiplyer, check intel's website about it

[ChIkEnAtEmYdOnUtS]

No. The QX9000 series has an unlocked multiplier. Not the Q9000 series. This is a SPECIAL feature for the QX series chips.

[SSJproductionZ]

only xtreme series cpu's in intel have unlocked multiplier..

like these cpus: X6800, X6850, QX6700, QX6800, QX6850, QX9650, QX9770, QX9775, Core i7 965.. etc.

[Computenator]

I hate the thing that intel glues the box and when opening u'll ruin the box too... but it's acctually not a big deal because it's still a box :)

[simracr94]

why did you get the qx9650, its almost exactly like the q9650, which is like 500 bucks less expensive than the qx9650

[SSJproductionZ]

"my favourite part, STICKER!"

..my favourite part in that box is that cpu..

[snowbell01]

man are you rich or something? that cpu is what? 1,300$?

[Eezaspanner]

thought you were happy with your QX6700?

I doubt he pays for this stuff anyway.

[bongwang]

lol nvidia cpu xD

bro u can still overclock the Q9650 to your hearts intent, how do you think e8400 and e8500 did so well. same with Q6600. IMO i would never pay $300 more for an unlocked multiplier when i usually leave it on 9 - 11 anyways.

what u guys think? :]

[saviourz]

unless i own a bank.. if not i have to agree with u! =D

[CKCurley64]

you should get the stacker 830 nvidia edition

[bondi007]

ahhh the nzxt sentry is it caled looks sweet the tx version isnt it??

[matttttar]

what and you will see ???

[bondi007]

the nzxt fan controller looks really good I ment :D lol

[stunnaonflyrims]

Should have used MX-2 its the BEST!

[saviourz]

he lose his pen knife.. den his kitchen knife .. now use sissors.. hahas =p

[Moreb0]

Very nice vid! 5/5

[ChIkEnAtEmYdOnUtS]

Its kinda bad if the sticker is the best part of a C2QX processor.. :S

[Faycal16DZ]

Cpu nvidia!!! why not lol

[DeFxMeTaL]

iHydra is a retard.
