	Log in to remove this sponsored message Neoseeker has published its review of the long anticipated Core i7 CPU. We've got benchmarks of all 3 upcoming processors, the Core i7 920, 940, and flagship 965 Extreme, at both their stock speeds and with overclocked results. Since Nehalem is a major step forward and an architectural update, I think you will definitely want to check this out.

	Wow, that's more amazing than I could have imagined. Great design, but not enough improvement in games for me to make a new build. So, I'm a little worried about this auto-overclocking that the i7's do when under load. Can that be disabled? If you overclock it and then run Prime95 won't it overclock it even more, which is probably not a good idea. Also, were no tests done on temperatures? Edit: Nov 02, 08

	Just FYI. You title one of the pages " Thermaltake Socket 1366 Cooler" then the subtitle on that page has a misspelling "Thermaright Socket 1366 Cooler" and of course the actual name is "Thermalright". The new lineup looks amazing. I really wish I had some extra money to pick one of these beasts up when they come out. -------------------

	On the 965, the overclocking is done by increasing the "auto overclock" multipliers, it will only increase to the maximum you specify. On the 920&940, you will know what the max overclock multiplier is, and as they cannot be adjusted, you have to overclock via increasing the base clock - so no surprises. Temperatures ranged from around 30'C to about 85'C, but the processors throttle to keep them under 100'C. quote malmsteenisgod So, I'm a little worried about this auto-overclocking that the i7's do when under load.

	Can anyone explain the move on the part of mobo makers for adding all these eSATA connectors INSIDE the box? I find them to be of very limited value. Am I missing something?

	quote Neoseeker The next thing I noticed was the lack of "legacy" connectors - while I've become used to the lack of a serial or parallel port, it was a bit shocking to not see at least one PS/2 port, and there was no sign of a floppy or IDE connector on the motherboard! Wow, that is surprising, but I'm glad to see we can safely move away from this stuff. I like a floppy independent system. ------------------- Asus P5B C2D e6320 4MB 1.86ghz @ 3.27ghz OCZ Plat Rev2 4x1GB DDR2 800 @ 934mhz HD4870 @ 830mhz/1000mhz Old School and Rock Stable
