Congrats on your new board. I just got my new Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H up
and running with my 720 BE 4th core unlocked and it runs like a scalded
ape. It was giving me a 5 beep non-POST at first but I reseated my RAM
and video card and it's working fine now. Rock solid and I couldn't be
more pleased.

Very smooth. In fact it is so fast that I can feel my velociraptor holding it back.
Maybe a ssd is in the future but not now. Still hurting from the cash outflow.

Hi guys,
Has been too long just lurking ....
Duncan,
For me, watching 8 threads is cool indeed man ... nothing more
I just rebuild my things, with :
1. I7 920 + Red Scorpion Xigmatek HFS + DFI LP-DK-X58 + 6GB
Corsair, Sapphire H4850
2. i5 750 + Noctua NH-U12P SE2 + ASUS P7P55D + 4GB GSkill, HEC H4850
The i5 750 is easier to OC maybe is because it doesn't have
hyperthreading. With my room ambient temperature around 30-35degC
(40-45 degC inside case), the i5-750 can be run at 3.6GHz daily base
only increasing the BCLK to 180MHz.
The i7 can only get stable at 3.33GHz (only increasing BCLK
to166MHz) for daily use because it can hit higher than than maximum
recommended core temp (100 degC). Maybe I need to replace or modified the HSF.
Performnace wise in their OC condition, of course the i5-750 felt
snappier (higher cpu clock) then the i7-920.

Zul,
I know you are a heavy user, but please explain the "8 threads in the
task mangler." I am confused. Why is this important or even germain
to Winterlight's question? How is this "work-in-my-home" related?
Best,
Duncan

Actually if you look at performance per watt ratings the i5 does
better. I just bought an i7 so I could see 8 threads in task
manager.
