Would be nice for some competition. As a package the D14 owns pretty much everything out there

Silver Arrow plus all the 240mm+ xspc water kits oh and according to someone on these forums the antec 620 LOL

Ah I should have put "for air" in there, of course Water-cooling is going to be better

Apparently the Silver Arrow is a bit of a whore to install

My bad

d14 is nothing compared to what noctua is releasing shortly

If they can get the air coolers to beat the low end watercoolers, that would be quite an achievement. I wonder how hot these Sandy Bridge E's will run, I doubt its too hot, but lets see.

Could we see an i7-3990X coming?

supposely your going to see up to 12 core / 24 thread 22nm chips before threw out the life of the socket.

myself ill be picking up 1 of the 6 core k series so its still unlocked but isnt a fortune, and will be picking up an extreme 8 core 22nm early spring

What mobo chipset will the i7-3960x use and will it be the same used for the upcoming 8 and possible 12 core CPU's?

Socket - LGA 2011 (2011pins)

Chipset - X79

Will be the same for the upcoming 8 core CPUs. 12 cores might be on a new chipset or even a new socket, who knows.

Im just going to wait. Even the 6 cores will still be over £750 at launch.
