EVGA's Enthusiast Platform for LGA-1156 Processors Detailed

DanishDevil · Jul 25, 2009

The high end i5 chips will outperform the i7 920. If they don't, I will be flabbergasted and guffawed.

I wonder what the performance difference will be between that and an i7 920...

It beats the 920, but suffers with the performance

rice ratio. So Intel wants to make sure that if you want to go beyond the $250 with a platform meant for sub-$200 CPUs, you're made to pay through your nose, or spend $200 buying another motherboard. What the $600 Lynnfield wouldn't manage to beat is the i7 950, which is actually priced lower.

I would really like to go Intel for my next build but this is way to confusing/risky right now of an upgrade path.

i am right in thinking the north bridge is essentially on the cpu?
fantastic layout, plenty of ports too, sata ports are in a good place, pci ex 1 slot is before the 16x slot thus not blocked

Not enough ports from i see.. I need at least 8 if there's not IDE connector.

Wait, am I the only one that's seeing this? TWO 8-pin ATX connectors? I have never seen a PSU with both. Are they going to force us to upgrade PSUs to go high-end P55? And I never noticed that the X58 classified had it either.

Does anyone know of any PSUs that have dual 8-pin ATX CPU connectors?

Maybe not if you have a single ail PSU then you can just use a splitter without worrying about overloading one rail.

Thanks for clearing that up. So basically, my LGA1366 mobo/i7 is not obsolete just yet...

lol it'll be a while before your i7/1366 mobo is obselete, like 2-3years. and i see 1366 living the longest out of all the sockets, i mean more pins will allow better CPU's no? so when better CPU"s do get developed they'll be more likely to take advantage of the more pins and be for that socket. at least i thk

Mine does. One 4/8pin connected and other one as modular. Newer ones have an 8-pin PCI-e power cable in it's place.

There is none on the motherboard.

Intel changing sockets to make profit by forcing you to buy it? Never!

Too easy to just keep the one. No one should buy this crap.
