Assassin is gone dude.

Thats a shame, however me thinks youll obtain a Gigabyte OC board shortly.

So benching will start over again.

Now that raises a question with me, what do you consider the best 1366 socket board out there ?

Considering it will be used 24/7. Overclocked offcourse.

Assassin is gone dude.

Its not gone, it found its way to my house (at least most of the parts did)

I am building one, its up and running on air at the moment, I am waiting on the Water cooling kit to arrive.

G1.Assassin

990X

2 P128 SSD

12 GB DDR3

As soon as the GTX 590s hit... Will have them on order.

Assassin is the best board Ive had here for 90% of enthusiast to date. It out clocks the rampage 3 extreme on air and water and has more usable features too.

great vid as always Tom and good read too, hope you re-visit this with the GA Oc board after the recent HW bot subs, should prove to be v. interesting overclocking

 

[murphy7801]

It'll be awesome, even at stock speeds,.... but I would crank it up too!

Hey Tom when you had a stable 4.7ghz overclock. How hot was your overclock?

Hey Tom,

On your overclock at the stable speed of 4.7ghz how hot was your cpu?

 

[muzza1875]

No fair, me wants it!

Does anyone reckon it will eventually drop to anything near < £300 in the future?

Or will they just keep on selling them at the current price until they are all gone?

 

[I Hunta x]

I doubt they will ever see sub £700 retail ever, look at the 775 high end stuff, they are still pretty much the same price they were on release, ie the qx9650,qx9770 ect, you can pick them up for about £175-300 on ebay tho.

Tom is away at the gadget show live event this week guys so I don't think he will have lots of time to reply on here as he will be chasing all those Booth babes

I think he will reply once he gets some time to himself again
