    Which 970 Are You Buying?

    I must say the card is quieter than I could have expected. I really don't hear it above my case fans. When I get in game I hear a slight increase obviously but it may just be fan increase not coil whine. I have not monitored the temps closely yet. I just ran a game for a few and popped out...

    Which 970 Are You Buying?

    None that I could find. This card is tiny. I should snap a pic next to a 660 Ti.

    Which 970 Are You Buying?

    I received the Zotac GTX 970 this week. I must say the performance is just great! This particular card is quite small too. If these were in 3-way SLI it would look pretty different as they are much shorter than previous generations of cards. I plan to go SLI but have to sell the old cards...

    Intel 3820 Processor 3.6Ghz LGA 2011 “Available Today”

    MeanBruce, yep, I think you are correct. I had to double check the images. I am looking at CoreTemp right now after having shut down everything and I see the following: Core #0 34 Core #1 27 Core #2 32 Core #3 30 It is a bit warm in the room as well though no scientific measure. :)

    3820 Thermals Stock under load - (Correction 37x Multiplier under load) 43x Multiplier under load - Again, this is using a cheap Hyper 212+. Will have something more robust shortly.

    Intel 3820 Processor 3.6Ghz LGA 2011 “Available Today”

    @MeanBruce - you might be right about this Hyper-212+. Never a big fan of this cooler anyway but check out the temps after about 15 minutes of Prime95. I set the multiplier to 40.

    Intel 3820 Processor 3.6Ghz LGA 2011 “Available Today”

    To each their own. If you don't like it, don't buy it or get an affordable i5. For me it's about cutting edge, in a word, enthusiasts... The 2600K released in Q1 11 and we now have something newer to bench and less costly than a 3930/3960. I have to admit, from a virtualization standpoint...

    Intel 3820 Processor 3.6Ghz LGA 2011 “Available Today”

    Not bad - but a long wait. Newegg has a bundle without motherboard for about $335. I'll run some tests against a 2600K with the same configuration (Memory/SLI/SSD). I'm curious to see the difference. I compared Cinebench scores against an older submission for the i7 950 and that was stock...

    Intel 3820 Processor 3.6Ghz LGA 2011 “Available Today”

    Thanks! I took several others so I'll try and showcase some more. Unfortunately I have a big project due and not a lot of time until tomorrow night, but then I'll tear into it further. I did run a quick round of BF3 and seemed to recall CoreTemp indicating high 40's. I'll get more...

    Intel 3820 Processor 3.6Ghz LGA 2011 “Available Today”

    Got mine in last night. Don't have a lot of time to use it yet but quickly threw it on the bench. Since I got the Newegg bundle, I ended up looking for LGA2011 brackets on their site to get in the same order. The only one I could find was for the Hyper 212+ which I have kicking around. While...

    Intel 3820 Processor 3.6Ghz LGA 2011 “Available Today”

    I have one available tomorrow night I can put through the paces. It'll be on an ASRock X79 Extreme 4. For comparison I can bench it directly against a 2600K on an ASRock P67 Extreme 4. Should be interesting... Let me know what you would like to see in terms of benchmarks.

    Newegg 3930k's in stock

    You have to go to the 3930k Page on Newegg, and then click Browse Combos. The cheapest combo was the processor and some laptop transfer cable for $615. The IR Temperature reader was good too at $620. But alas, OOS again. My plan is for the ASRock xtreme6 so that offered some good savings...

    3930k C2 news?

    Such a random find too. I just happened to be on their site and thought I would double check. Glad I could help.
