How much heat is associated with the GPU on die?
Why is it so much better for us guys?
Why no triple channel memory?
Is there a way in BIOS do disable the GPU?

I expect an "extreme" edition of the 1155's to be released relatively soon. Maybe that will appeal to those looking for the absolutely bleeding edge until Q3 of 2011, or Q1 of 2012.

For what it's worth I believe the only extreme edition Sandy Bridge that will be released will be a mobile processor. Which doesn't make sense to me (who wants to overclock laptops?).

What makes you believe that. Sounds crazy making Extreme chips for a Laptop.

Just got back with my 2600K, Gigabyte DS3, 4GB DDR3-1066, and a 1TB Seagate.

stncttr908 · 01-09-11, 12:44 PM

Thanks! Very excited. I'll see what this stock cooler can do OC wise but I'll probably order up a Scythe Mugen2 this week.

How long do you guys think Intel will support the LGA1155? Don't like the fact that I gotta get a whole new board but I can give my current MOBO and CPU to the Girl and I get the new stuff. Would be a great improvement for her crappy AMD Setup.

Maybe a year.

3 different pin-counts Magus

Between now and the beginning of next year, and there will likely be Ivy Bridge related updates that may not be pin-compatible.

Yep this is what i want to get.

But the BIOS on this is unstable.

Its 40 mins, but i actually ended up watching his entire video...

Would be nice if they spend a bit of time on the AUDIO part of motherboards....seems everyone is putting the realtec ac97...

It does look very nice. Got to love all those USB3 connectors and Blutooth.

I'm not sure why the hype surrounding the GUI in the BIOS is. I remember using the mouse back with 486's.

Always wondered why modern comuters had such "basic" BIOS in regards to the user interface. Bout time they "modernized" the BIOS a bit.
