Is this suppose to be the successor to nehalem architecture?

because i don't feel the difference like they switch from core to nehalem before...

Anyway, is Intel Core i7 2600K the highest end proc intel has.... i heard they will release new socket and new proc in H2 2011....

Hi guys, need your help this time. I just bought myself an I5 2500K. However, i still haven't buy a motherboard yet coz i dunno which one to pick.I dun wan regret later since P67 boards are so freakin expensive. I'm aiming to run 4.5ghz 24/7 settings. I've shortlisted a few mobo in my mind and yet i've difficulty on choosing the one.Please dont suggest me MSI mobo, i had a bad experience with them during my pentium 4 days.

Gigabyte P67-UD3
Asus P8P67

I dun need many features of the mobo, just need it to have good OC capabilties and the EFI bios is not important for me (i'm not going to meddle with it everyday ). I only need to operate 1 GC with the mobo, SLI /CFX capability is just optional. The motherboard must have enough clearance for my Xigmatek S1283 cooler. Btw, any shop in LYP sells the crossbow kit for it (for LGA1156)?? (the bolt-on kit, instead of using intel push-pin)

Please advise on the pros and cons of both the motherboards. I only noe the asus has 12 digital power phase but i cant find any info abt the gigabyte one.

How much you bought it for k!nex?

RM690

gigabyte p67-ud3 sosej
gigabyte p67-ud3p sosej 2

guys , should i take

asus p8p67 LE rm510 or

giga p67 ud3 rm475?

is the cfx speed of asus same as gigabyte ? 16x/4x

i already checked their website. If you compare ud3p and ud3, it only stated that ud3p has 12 phase power design but did not mention anything about ud3

Added on January 9, 2011, 7:13 pmDont take the Asus LE version, not worth it, non LE only RM599 but 12 phase power vs LE is 4 phase power design.
Refer here

The Asus you listed there should be same cfx speed as gigabyte since the more expensive non LE version also 16x/4x

I think the P8P67 PRO is a more value buy than P8P67.

then i should take the gigabyte p67 ud3 instead?

Added on January 9, 2011, 7:33 pmmy pick is only between the asus LE and the ud3 ...above than that i cant afford anymore...

gigabyte is better than asus LE in terms of pricing?

if u nid more storage connectivity go for the asus, else the rest is almost the same. or choose the brand u prefer
anyway i personally will choose asus over gaygaybyte due to some bad experience

Or get the ASUS P67 Sabertooth TUF mobo with 5-year warranty, for a little bit more than the PRO.

But the sabertooth doesnt really have any advantages over the PRO, save for the 5 years warranty/.

i cant afford anything above the asus p67p8 le ...

I love the review about Quick Sync of the new architecture. Seems better than Nvidia CUDA and AMD Stream (APP). Seems it's Intel secret weapon against the other competitor.

After some quick read of early review, I see that Sandy Bridge has a dedicated silicon that just do video.

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/sandy-bridge...ew-32090-4.html

If we are using discrete graphic, that's mean graphics core will be unused or disabled. So it means Quick Sync will be disable?

Am I right?

Whats the diifferents between P67 and H67 chipset?

Yes, if you use discrete graphic, the quick sync will be disable. Unless you also connect a display to the on board graphics.
Just hate this limitation, have to wait for Z68.

WHICH you have to use H67 for...
And that means losing OCing for the K processors, which is what most people are going for right now.

Real stupid.
