I would pay $300 less than that and grab one from MicroCenter. In my opinion, it isn't worth the extra money to buy an i7 that someone else got to 4.4ghz. Chances are your setup won't be the same and you might not want to put that much voltage to your chip. With 1.435 I bet a lot of batches...
I'm not sure if this will help at all, but I ran the rig in my signature just fine on a 6 year old Antec True Power 550 with no problems, the need for one pci-e power adapter aside. I was only running 2 hard drives though.
I agree, I just went from an E8400 @ 4ghz to an i7 930 @ 4ghz. After selling my parts the upgrade cost was pretty cheap. I'm not sure if my CPU maxes out in Bad Company 2 or L4D2 but my minimum FPS feels much higher.
I use 1:1 when playing my 360 in 1920x1080 via the vga cable. I dont know if drivers can fix the stretching. I just picked this badboy up from frys for 670 and some change and I love it.
I know exactly which commercial you are talking about. My friend used to work at Texas Instruments and they had a hundred or so temp workers, mostly black and hispanic lower income folks who would get into those suits. I can't speak for intel but over there it appears that the people in those...
My friend got ahold of an ES Dell server with 2 liquid gallium coolers on the processors. It looks like it uses magnets to move the liquid through the loops, neat stuff.
I have been trying to find a way to open multiple .xls files at once. There is one file in the root directory and 10 or so folders in the directory with files that need to opened as well. I made a batch script and can get the first file to open, but I lack the knowledge to open the files in...
Antivirus is for the weak. Your problem doesn't sound like it's cpu related. My Core 2 Duo is faster across the board and better at multitasking than my 3.8 @ 5Ghz.
The initial overclocking i've seen on Kenstfields tells me that they do not hit FSB's nearly as high as conroe/allendales. http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4215&s=15 Of course with phase cooling you could probably do better.
I have 4 sticks of 512mb 4200ecc @ 900mhz 4-4-4-12, it will do 920 at 5-5-5-15. I have 2 x 1gb sticks of ocz 6400 plat xtc that wont do over 800 mhz on the board though :\
I spent more money at the bar this weekend... anyways, the 7800GTX 512mb was being sold for higher than the 7900GTX 512mb when it was launched, keep that in mind.
Coolaler had an ES just like that, I dont recall if it was unlocked. If you dig through xtremesystems forums you might find the answer. He did hit 3.6ghz or so on LN2.
Try lowering the multiplier to make sure it is your processor and not your board or memory. Oops, n/m just read your post up there. Have you tried raising the mch or other voltages?
Having a similar issue, I thought it might be the OCZ 6400. I'm gonna try some memory I know will go higher and see if its the board. I was going to return it and get a P5B E eventually.
