Hi,
None of them around so I don't know doubt amd hate to have to get another board when I already have an extra intel mark 2 sitting around.
So likely another 14 core it frankly sucks enough power already
Not in any hurry to give intel another 1k.us for another chip but 18 core dog I'll just have to flip a coin when I see it

Pre order is around for 1099.99 I believe can't find the link atm

Hi,
Don't think LN2 is very mainstream

lol, no its not, but it can be indicative of how it might OC under cold air and water...

i might snap one up if i can find one, just looked at TRX40 mobos, they are a little costly as well, the top Asus one is ready to go with 4600 ram

never built or used AMD ever, might be an adventure, lol

Hi,
Yeah you have natures cooling already going for you

Only win-10 though is a no go.

whats that about win 10?

Hi,
AMD system in general is too painful to install win-7 on.

No problems with w10. I am waiting on a callback now for availability
