EVGA P55 FTW - Overview by RamTV

[customcomputerftw]

I try to make a video by next week showing off my h50 overclock. system i7 860 at 4.2 (4.5 stable but the volts are too high for my liking so i leave at 4.2) evga p55 ftw corsair dominator 2x2 1600 cas 8 lian li lancool pc-k62 rosewill 1000w wb caviar black 1tb os windows 7 samsung 160 gb os snow leopard geforce 9800gtx=crap waiting for gtx 460. This mb overclocks like a beast.

[RickArter]

Yes but it really depends on the gpu you run.

[SamBrears]

would my corsair 650tx be able to run this?

[Homebrew2all]

whoa nice CGI or Animated Motherboard

[volchan129]

I want to get the 6 core processor that Intel's coming out with

[lazzo08]

@volchan129 the x7 980x? or the XEON?

[Omellykim]

ya that was interesting

[welshman123456789]

1366 is better for the high end enthusiasts whiles 1156 is for mainstream..like you will see HP and dell using it etc..

the EVGA p55s are the nicest ones to be fair

[senjisan5]

it explains the north bridge chip out on all p55 boards

[Xigmatek]

What good is Duel G-Bit Net?

How does that help if you only have one Net system?

would it be faster If I hooked up 2 lines to my Gaming Router?

[R3APERvsTYETREE]

No it wouldnt it make yor gaming router faster for online play, it only speeds up a lan network transfers.

[Xigmatek]

Thanks dude.

[k4ZE106]

d

dual gigabit lan enables you to connect two connect 2 PCs with each other and so allows internal networking. if you use them the classic way, the second line will help you a bit as it will take of some load of the primary line. so you can run ventrilo or teamspeak on one line and the game uses the other one. but it is mostly thought for networking.

[Xigmatek]

OK.

Thanks!

they should kill the north bridge on X68, it would make sense, and increase performance, and cut price.

the only pitfall would be higher CPU TDPs.

i guise 140-150W.

but by that time, ivy bridge will be out (native 4GHz and 8 cores), so it may take work to get to 130-140W TDP.

[onoff314]

How would it increase performance it would just move more heat to the cpu as you have said.

What i want is high overclocking and stock board cooling can usually deliver and if i have to put 50mm fan on the NB sink to get up in the high 4ghz range im fine.

[tenshitaiakuma]

by moving PCI-E on die, the CPU dosn't need to talk to the north bridge, like when intel moved the memory controller on die.

[onoff314]

I know but the current designs there are not enough lines for it. It would also mean a possible increase in pin count if they put it on 1366 which is fail.

the Nf200 or possibly the hydra coming to i5 and most likely to i7 is the only real fix right now from my pov.

[k4ZE106]

hilarious. i go to a vid from evga and see like 3 guys of the forum :D

[tenshitaiakuma]

but we will have completely new architecture (Ivy Bridge), so u never know, we may see X68 with 1576 or something.

[Richthegamer99]

nice but i think i will go with 1336 but this will be good you guys how want to uprage but not break thebamk

[doomtomb3]

Great overview! Clear explanation of the new processors backed with a sweet motherboard ;)

[archieutama]

This should shut the first comment shit up. Nice overview btw

[alien4085]

I had to do that!!! Lol. Nice vid guys
