UD4P is basically the same, it just doesent have e sata and has only 1 LAN.

Well, the only thing I noticed in the specs was that de UD4/UD4P didn't explicitly mention their PCI-E x16 slots being v2.0...

Looked at some MSI boards too yesterday, but they kind of threw me off.
On the X58-Pro, placement of the 8-pin 12v line somewhere in the middle of the board?:shadedshu
X58-platinum looked OK, but was so packed with features I will never use :wtf:

So, I went with the safe choice of almost the same board, but then a little better :rockout:

All modern boards are PCI-E 2.0 so thats perhaps why it wasent specifically mentioned as it is now the norm, as far as I am aware no boards since P35/X38 have been manufactured with PCI-E 1.1.

Just checked Gigabytes site on the specs for the board, it does actually specify 2.0 but you have to go to specs rather than overiew page......

Ok, thanks. Thing is, the shop mentioned 2.0 on the UD3, UD5 and Extreme, but not on the UD4. Seemed kind of weird to me.

Just got a notice my order is completed, gonna get it in a couple of hours :rockout:

so maybe we can rock again tonight if nothing else got damaged.

What board did you order then?

prove me wrong , if the info doesn't come from intel itself it's just a hoax trying to make people buy an i7

I have a source to cite. I don't need any more proof. Of course Intel won't tell you it's discontinuing two of its chips months in advance, just as it doesn't officially tell anything about the chips that are slated for months later.

Intel Answers: The future of Core i7 920

Intel Answers: The future of Core i7 920

Intel makes the claim that the popular Core i7 920 won't be discontinued and what Lynnfield WON'T be called.
COMPUTEX 2009: Having breakfast while ogling over the prohibitively expensive and ludicrously fast Core i7 975 this morning, we nailed down some details about the supposed demise of Intel's Core i7 920 and future naming of its Lynnfield CPUs.

First, the Core i7 920. Despite being told quite the opposite just last week, Intel vehemently reaffirmed the i7 920 will still exist for the foreseeable future. However, there was absolutely no commitment to a timescale.

Only the 940 will go, claimed Intel, as it will be replaced by the 950 – which we already know. Intel was adamant that a range of CPUs will remain available for the platform long after Lynnfield launches on September 1st.

Secondly, Intel said its Lynnfield processors would NOT be branded Core i5 like the rumours have suggested, but the spokesperson stopped short of what the name would be.

In fact, Intel stopped short on a lot of detail this morning – only that Lynnfield’s Turbo mode will be finer tuned and greater than that of Nehalem, which is certainly nice, but upon being probed for actual details like numerical values, Intel kept mum.

Will anyone from Intel go on record to give us a firm roadmap for the life of its i7 products and get us some numbers? You know how to get hold of us guys. For the rest of you, let us know your thoughts in the forums.

Didn't I tell you? :laugh:

Lol ... i hate hoaxes!

Thanks, that's a lot better :cool:

But glad to hear the 920 will be with us for a while still

hey guys i m having problem overclocking my i7 with msi eclipse sli board
i just want to take it to 3 ghz
but when i want to change the voltage its on auto and its locked so i cant change voltage
so i cant decrease my temps for 3ghz
and i have a stck cooler
so if anybody has suggestions pls help me

Jakethesnake011 · Jun 4, 2009

I have the same board and you can pick temps other than auto. What you have to do is use the +/- keys in the BIOS you can not hit enter and select a voltage, you have to use those 2 keys to move it up and down. You might be able to get to 3.0 without touching the voltage, but if temps are too high you might be able to decrease the default voltage to something lower. Do you have the newer BIOS the 1.6? I am using the 1.7Beta2 BIOS and they seem okay, but not the best so far. PM me and Ill try to help if you need more information.

Thrackan · Jun 4, 2009

Great, so everything is still working on the UD5, except for the fact that I am unsure on how to properly move my RAID-0... If someone can help mehere I'd be very grateful.

To keep this slightly ontopic, the D0 is also still alive!

mudkip · Jun 4, 2009

the undervolting overclocking continues

mlee49 · Jun 4, 2009

You lucky bastards, I have mine at 1.3V for 3.1 Damn fool I am for early adoption...

Well I also had a C0 once.. but then i had to buy a D0

mudkip · Jun 4, 2009

good night fellas

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jun 5, 2009

whats the best overclocking board under 200?

Fitseries3 · Jun 5, 2009

mlee49 · Jun 5, 2009

the Asus P6T is right at $200 new.

I'd personally save for the Asus Rampage II Gene at $240 though.

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jun 5, 2009

Ive alwyas heard never to mess with asus SE boards. Also one other criterion, 3 pci-e 16 slots

Fitseries3 · Jun 5, 2009

forget that for under $200

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jun 5, 2009

ok so the ecs it seems to be then

Fitseries3 · Jun 5, 2009

i will warn you....

if you dont know x58/i7 OCing... you may be better off with a GB ud3

the ecs rocks and is really easy to OC but you should know at least some info on OCing i7/x58... at least to make it easier.

i honestly miss the ecs and i would have kept it if i had the money but these days i been strapped for cash.

So far my best 3D Mark Vantage test. I think I can get the CPU higher, but the 4870x2 I have really high at 840/940, I was shocked I got the card that high, but when I get the new Arctic Cooler Extreme, maybe I can get some more out of the card. I am going to try with HT off, does it make much difference in the Vantage score?

with HT off, you might be able to squeeze more of a oveclock from the CPU, thus maybe resulting in a higher score overall.
