Thanks Mike! It will creep along for a couple of weeks, but then should hit full steam. I'll try and keep everyone entertained along the way. thumb.gif

A University of Texas student, huh? I'm not against UT. I think that school serves a valid purpose. Not everyone has good enough grades, or football talent, to make it into OU.....so we need schools like Texas also. tongue.gif

Practically all power used by the CPU will be expelled as heat, and the TDP is exactly that. (At stock frequencies ofcourse)

Wondering how much juice this box is going to be sucking from the wall at full load. lmaosmiley.gif

I always look at the reviews on Hardocp when it comes to power numbers because they seem to be very thorough when it comes to their testing. Here they show that 3 gtx 680's and a 2600k @ 4.8 draw 700 watts max when playing games.

I sure hope Intel releases a i7 extreme processor that uses pcie 3.0 soon

As I understand it the current Core i7 3820, 3930K and 3960X already support PCIe 3.0 as does X79.

I think you're right, but it is confusing when you research. The Intel site's specs on the 3XXX processors have PCI 2.0 listed in the table of contents of the document, but when you get back into the meat of it, they clearly state that the CPU supports PCI 3.0. I think they have to dance a little bit because it requires both the CPU and board (chipset) to enable PCI 3.0, so no one one wants to simply claim that they have a 3.0 solution. The new Asrock board I'm getting says it 'supports' PCI 3.0 for enabled processors. I think Intel is doing the same thing.

There was a BIOS update that you needed to do in order to take advantage of PCE-e 3.0

Some of you are subbed to the thread where I'm doing all of the custom color MDPC-X sleeve dyeing. I did another post tonight with an update on a new dye test. I took these items....

400

....threw them into this dye bath setup......

400

....and got these results....

400
400

For discussion and closeup pictures, see this post....or peruse the whole thread from the beginning.

At some point this week, I'll be doing my REAL dye job that this entire sleeve dyeing thread has been leading to. Instead of some sample lengths of sleeve....I'll be dyeing 100 meters of MDPC-X white sleeve, and turning it into my beloved OU crimson color. I'l also be doing some heatshrink, some connectors and some tubing. The whole dyeing testing thing has been a lot of fun.
