X99 is gonna release at this weekend! are you ready for it?

Well, just check the intel schedule, see that x99 platform will be ready at this friday, aug 29th

and I just do the quick google search, this is the coolest mb ever!!!

MSi X99 sli plus!
I do like this black pcb mo soooo much!
just dont know the price and spec
but look like it get the most of feature I need already!

any one you are planning to renew your gaming pc? or maybe the oc pc?:banana:

 

much more excited about gtx 880, or asus strix 780 6gb tbh.

ddr4 is expensive currently and they'll be holding the good stuff back till full-blown mainstream ddr4 systems hit and not in only enthusiast setups.

 

How much are MSI paying you?

 

I would be waiting for the Rampage 5 if i was going X99.

 

Most interested in Asus X99 platforms.
@SLI: be careful with the strix, I think vrm cooling is sub-optimal on those cards (due to basic cooler layout I guess), as seen with the guru review: Guru Review 780 Strix

 

I'll be waiting a few months for money so I can afford the damned thing, and make sure its reliable enough. Will see soon I guess

 

I'm patiently waiting for skylake. Have no money for throwing atm.

 

Going to stick with X79 until the platform starts becoming bottleneck for games (not until next 5 years may be).

I am more interested in GPUs right now. Looking to replace 2x7950 with a singe GPU with same amount of performance for half the watts and half the price. That would be 20 nm I guess.

 

With me since I just purchased a new rig which I am currently in the middle of putting it together there is no sense in me trying to afford x99 stuff.

 

Iam Thrilled!!! To bad I cant even afford Lga 2011 let alone this lol.But I guess its good for you guys that Can afford it, enjoy. Iam scrapping enough to get the A10 7850k and afterwards a decent gpu.You need to bee rich to keep-up to INTELS socket changes lol.

Wish I could join you guys but ill be over there on the Darkside in the meantime.lol

 

I Might get it sometime next year. Really no point upgrading atm with the rig i have ATM

 

Excited to see how well it performs vs Ivy-E..Might Sell my other Rig with 4820K and Upgrade to this..

 

dude, those flir results are excellent.

 

Well I wouldn't consider 100°C at the vrm "excellent". Just meant to warn you, because in SLI the top card will surely rise above 100°C for that matter.
I'd be tempted to go with the Strix myself, but seeing those temperatures, I refrained

 

hell i just seen that, prolly missed it due to backplate blocking the red heat.
cheers dude, i was kinda interested in it too.

 

I'm really looking forward to this. Im just sorting out money, and selling a few bits to help fund it. Will get the 8 core of it overclocks well enough, otherwise the better of the two 6 cores

 

:cheers:


I really can't wait for any benchmarks combining Haswell-E with X99 chipsets, I want to see if it would truely help to go with the enthusiast platform, or go back to performance with Z97 / 4790K

 

totally, i look forwards to my first i7 someday, would like at least 6 core.
i'm underwhelmed about current ddr4 ram though. (price /performance)

 

Does one actually have to use DDR4 with the X99 / Haswell-E, or could one go with DDR3, until prices drop?

 

i am kind of tempted on the 8 core, but i am not sure if ddr3 will be suported aswell, as im not get more ram aswell, not long had it
