i7-980x

[danander11]

Anyone using this CPU yet? if so, how are you finding it with PT9?

Also, what mainboard are you using?

Peace!

Though Shane has not posted results, I know he is running 980x with GA-X58A-UD3R Rev.2.

Thanks Filo.. that's the same mainboard I have with a 920.. I fell in love with Sunny's P6T6 Revolution... Would really like to have that but haven't found one around town yet.

Peace!

I'm sure the community would love to hear the results of a P6T6 WS and i7 980x configuration.

That ASUS P6T6 WS board is starting to become long in the tooth, no?

If a all PCIe X58 board with no legacy ports or slots can become obsolete. I picked it because it was unencumbered by legacy parts/ports and could run HD3-4 PCIe if the parts ever drop in price

No SATA 6GB or USB 3.0 ports but they are not native to the X58 chipset anyway. I have no SATA6 Drives or USB peripherals so its a non issue for me. Most of the SATA6/USB add on implementations are a bit of a kludge IMO anyway.

I can run a pair of 15K SAS drives in RAID 0 though. It would make a hell of a video editing rig.

I would LOVE a 980X. I was going to buy one. The same day I saw a Intel price list for Sandy Bridge and socket 2011.

DUCer rickthestick has his build posted in the i7 thread. i posted his build on page 1. but do a search in the i7 thread to follow his postings of his 980x build.

But not to be confused with the LGA1156 Sandy Bridge socket generation. Socket LGA2011, Eight Core, 20MB L3 Cache and Quad Channel DDR3. Boy oh, boy oh boy, when will this ever end.

I actually found a guy selling his Mac Pro for a reasonable price and may just give up on the PC thing altogether...

Well, you can take that Hobo out of your signature! Next you'll be asking if you can eat your cake too.
