OC3D Article Sandy Bridge and P67 Prices Revealed

[Ollii]

Might be a stupid question but ill ask anyway

With this new processor and motherboard coming out, it won't effect the ram will it?, as i got the mushkin ridgeback that was reviewed on here due to when overclocked it thrashed the dominator gt's and was just wondering if they will still be better as perhaps they might not overclock as well with this new type of motherboard?

That's awesome, thanks. Gonna order it now.

(Yes I'm buying everything else for my new build except for the cpu/mobo because of this sandy bridge! got a lovely empty case going on)

This is what I was thinking of doing but don't see the point waiting like a month just for a cpu and motherboard might as well buy it all closer to the time

. Probably better deals going later too...

Hi again, any chance someone could answer the question I posted about the memory as I need to know asap. thanks

 

[tinytomlogan]

We cant say too much because of NDA matey. Youll have to wait untill January

Hang on I've just realised something I think, the new motherboards are dual channel aren't they and so therefore the mushkin ridgeback you (Tom) reviewed will not fit in the new motherboards will it ?

. hmmmmmm, if I am correct in saying this what is the best memory on the market to suit these motherboards then?

It will fit fine. You'd just use 2 sticks instead of all 3 if you wanted dual channel.

Ah ok did not realise that (Sorry I'm new to all this stuff

) but will just using two sticks defeat the reason why I got this ram? as I earlier mentioned about the overclocking on this ram, as only when overclocked was it better than the corsair gt's so due to different motherboard it might not overclock as well and tom answered that we couldn't tell until its released which is I believe is very much true. but just from guessing would you think that this ram couldn't be overclocked as well due to it being just dual channel and therefore the gt's would be better? Also it is possible to just purchase both these kits of ram in just dual channel isn't it? I'm sorry if the wording isn't easy to understand, I tried my best

It's really hard to say, but if the sticks overclock well in a P55/X58 setup you could assume they would clock just as well in a P67 IF the P67 could reach those clocks. I have no idea how overclocking will be on this platform. Either way, Mushkin is good stuff at stock or overclocked. You made a good purchase IMO.

Ok, thanks a lot

been very helpful. I think I'll keep with Mushkin then, just got to decide whether or not I go X58 and I7 950 or P67 and I7 2600k.

Can I just ask, Surely the UD5 will support higher speed DDR3? Or will only the UD7 be 1600+ capable at launch? Or do they just not advertise the UD5 is capable of DDR3 at 1600mhz?

 

[Ollii]

Hey everyone, Em Tom would you be able to tell us when you'll have the SB's and 1155 socket's to test? or can you not say?

dont think he can say

though bit-tech has said to people they have them though i am not sure if they got ass raped by intel or not

lol ok thanks, could you personally though give a guess to when he might have them to review? seeming as this pre release thing has gone on before so when are these reviewers usually allowed to show them?
