Reminds me of the e6500k that was only released in china...i've always wanted to get my hands on one of those chips cause they are relatively cheap.

Those K chips sure look cool. Still if you like unlocked multipliers you should be with AMD as they are not really expensive in the first place!

I made a thread few days ago that has a review for i7 875K and i5 655K

I am actually liking intel more and more again. I went off them when they went crazy with their sockets and their prices went all ridiculous, but now you are actually getting something much better for your extra money, I can see a very good reason to spend the extra money over getting an AMD chip for less.

however, with that said, I don't see this as too much of an advantage over overclocking a chip to say 4GHz then putting on Cool 'n quiet, does similar, just not as inteligently

this made me lol

Sounds like what you can do with the C1E setting.

C1E only lowers multi...Raising multi helps overclocking by not having to stress the chipset as much.

I'm talking about the thing Linus was mentioning on lowering power consumption.

I thought the same thing, and I didn't even see the earrings......

I think thats a good idea, having affordable unlocked cpu's for intel, and it seems that they also have some nice features to go along with it.:good: intel.

ROFL!

i have an i7 860 in my 1156 rig right now running 4.2ghz fully stable. i don't really need an 875X, but definitely wouldn't turn one down if i had the money to get one. i think the budget performer is a the i3 530 though, i got mine to hit 4.62ghz Intel Burnin Test stable. all for $230USD for motherboard/cpu combo.

I drove from NH down to Boston so I could pick one up, it was worth the savings, even with gas and tax. Also picked up a 1.5TB external HD for $99.
