of course, you need to grab another hardware or grab higher model


lets keep it as a secret i have my own plan. perhaps *maybe* i want to change with intel DP67BG model

april issue is telling about january issue. what da...

even i use CM hyper 212+ still around 40 on core #0 but around 35c in cpu temp reading based on motherboard's software

so your temperature based on cpu overall temperature or core temperature?

stock cooling should not perform good heat dissipation, but your 58-60 for idle is quite high. and the terms of "idle" means, you're enabling EIST & C1E right? your idle frequency is 1600MHz?

don't run multiple monitoring software. choose one. multiple software giving conflicting temperature reading.
i always choose realtemp. and make sure you get latest version of realtemp, which is now 3.65

and why you need it to become ATX? mATX loose some screw hole, but still match with your atx casing, so i still can fit. but you can try to search if there are "bracket" for mATX to become ATX

guys, anyone who spotted Z68 board yet at any shops around country? like somebody spotted sandy bridge & P67 previously at some shops before their launch date? maybe someone dare to breaks NDA?

mitx is good for low power system and if your hobby is put it online 24/7

idle around 38-40 is normal if you're using stock fan. even i get 38c idle using cooler master 212+

ahhhhhhh..... smells of Z68 become more strong now!
and intel already update their motherboard support page with dz68bc & dz68db.

nice!

anyone spotted any shops around country dare to sell it right now? like some dealers did when sandy bridge sold although NDA period is still active?

yeh, throw it. make sure that you make a video of it so that we can laugh together

is that "real" picture gigabyte Z68-UD7 picture? because i don't see any on-board vga/dvi/hdmi ports.

well, seems like local asus office still not contacted all dealers around country about their refunds policy

i thought that main concept of z68 is to combine both H & P features plus giving additional features like ssd caching and so on, but looking to this "unsure" picture, seems like it cannot take advantage of on-die graphic processor. maybe because of the letter "X" after the z68 model name probably.

they should. Z68 include all function in P67 and H67. therefore P67 is not relevant anymore

perhaps, if you're "enthusiast" enough, then why bother and yell about the price? of course two things merge together will costs some price

hope that all dealers around country allow users to "swap" from their P/H to Z.

p/s: too many "looks like", "what if", "maybe" nowadays

the z68 chipsets is not officially launch yet, so most (or all) of the "stories" that you just read is totally:

1. assumption
2. opinion
3. if/else statements
4. what if

even though that you read the chipsets roadmap and diagram 10 times per day

jeng jeng jeng!
last time i bought my P67 + 2600k @ czone end of december 2010 although launch date still 2 weeks more. means they get z68 in stock now??????

* just call compuzone, only gigabyte z68 available. and guess what, they said "CANNOT SWAP WITH P67". hahaha.

how do you determine by "experience problem"? what kind of tests did you perform? if you just "feel" it, i assume it is just "placebo effect"

seems like the P8Z68-V & P8Z68-V PRO model for asus forum's submenu just been created at vip.asus.com

so, anyone spotted that model at any shops, yet?

finally, most major manufacturers; msi, asus, gigabyte list z68 in their products list. any shops around country already sell?

finally, i get a "replacement" of my p8p67 with a new p8z68v-pro.. yeahhhhhh! i like this kind of "upgrade". just topup several hundred ringgit.

yee yehhhhh!!
