All this talk about Ivy's higher IPC do not make them a viable option. Suppose that you're lucky and you can get away with an Ivy at 4.5GHZ but can't push it anymore. And let's say it matches the performance of a SB @ 4.8GHZ. All...

68c on a 920 that does over 4GHZ? Consider yourself lucky. The 920 is really on its last leg. It will never get to 4.5 or above that like the SB's can. Don't bother trying, otherwise you'll end up with a burnt chip.

I'm gonna go against what has been said - upgrade now, while your x58 setup is worth something. Think about it, how much is your setup worth today? How much will it be worth when z77 and Ivy Bridge are both out? And by the time a...

Would it be worth it to go from an Intel 510 to a 520? I understood that the 510 is 34nm, thus higher write endurance, but the 520 is a faster. What's the better tradeoff?

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future? Yes, I own an Intel 510 250GB SSD and an Intel 320 80GB SSD. I plan to buy a 510 240GB after I sell my 510 250GB. 2) If you’re planning on...

Got my case a few days ago, got not time to really play with it. But after 20 minutes of inspection I'm unable to find any damage. Only a tiny screen on the IO panel area but it's unnoticeable. I have to say that I'm impressed with the...
