Gulftown hits 6.4GHz

lol, if the BIOS is not correct for the CPU, like in the case with DS and their new chip, then the motherboard will not use the correct hexadecimal in the Intel registry to get the right calc, that is why realtemp GT, and the new coretemp, are the only programs on gulftown right now that will give correct readings, HW monitor along with the other  crap temp programs use a built in database for calc, instead of locating the individual hexadecimal located in the registry of each chip, because they are different, unlike what the morons who write the HW monitor believe.

@Kyu How about instead of a banner... a paint on shirt. That should really fire up the imagination.

@justin Thanks for clarifying how that really works.

@Alex I knew there would be a NDA!!!

So I'm assuming that the various board manufactures have provided bios updates to you. or do you need to wait some more before their testing is complete? or is it complete

Justin, will it be just the i7980x in a month with the others to follow sometime later ? or will they all come out at the same time. and others i am meaning the  i7-970

ok I see , the reason I ask is because uncle sam has laid some money on my lap and I'm going to do some upgrading  while i have some Cash available. It may be some time before I will have the chance again. I do plan on upgrading to the fermi once it becomes available even if it takes two cards to support my multi monitors. and i figured id upgrade  to the cheaper 6 core version  rather than the 980x which I suspect it will be expensive. but if they dont come out till later I may just stick with what i have

I was hearing that in order to have nfinity it will require 2 cards ?

must be an urban myth

Yeah dont know that id pay 1000 for a 6 core . 500 yeah probably

well what i heard was 2 monitors 1 card . nfinity 2 cards

I am wrong, lol I thought that the Fermi had 3 outputs so it would run 3 monitors, common sense. lol but no, no, no, need two cards to run 3 monitors...

And I would become depressed

YAY:) no more depression!

Speaking about Fermi, has anyone gotten out a good price range yet? I've been too lazy to look around 


EDIT: And I double posted. My bad guys!
