OOOOKkayyy...
So, my boss has had a hardon for the 2011 socket since he found out you can run 64gb of ram, dont ask why, just except that it's something that he needs
anyway... noticed that it's been released, he's like LET'S GO!.
GD and PCCG has them listed on the sites, but there IS an issue. All the CPU's listed DO NOT ship with Heatsinks.
AND of corse, since they have changed the mounting system, (same spacing, BUT screw mount to the baord/socket not a clip into the punch out of the motherboard), there is VERY LITTLE that will fit the socket.
PCCG list the H80 and H100 as to fit, so technically so should my RASA cooling block as it uses a very simular mounting system.
Also, PCCG lists a Xeon 5000 acrtive cooler, that would fit, i guess... but it's hard to say, right?
WTF was intel thinking? shipping CPU less the HSF for new socket that has a different mounting system!
kudo's to MSI That's shipping a TT cooler with one of their motherboards.
<me>RANT</me>
thoughts? anyone?

ok, we built this machine, ended up with the MSI board. the FRIO cooler they ship with fouls over 2x the 8 ram slots. if you run low profile sicks you'd be ok, but i haven't seen any fast ones on the market yet.
system =
MSI X79A-GD65 8D FRIO
i7-3930K
16gb Corsair Vengence 1600 ram, (cos of cooler, can't run 32/64, well, you can't run 32gb cheaply)
Matrix GTX580
4x 150gb Velcoraptors in RAID stripe, on a HiPoint 2720 card, (because we had it)
3D Mark 11 score, P6500, no overclock. I was looking @ other benchmarks, the average x58 scores are about 4500, with a 6100 score on an overclocked CF system, running a pair of 5970's
Does want... :)

a metric but load.
(i've wanted to use that in contect for AGES!)
umm.. pushing 4K total (the controller and raptors were left over from a server build, so it's difficult to say).
$360 for motherboard
$680 for chip
$140 for ram
$670 for video card, (i THINK he's going to buy a second so he can run BF3 over 3 screens)
$1500 for raptors and hipoint card, (i think)
$145 for fractal case
$200 for PSU
$3700 odd
oh, plus a new mouse keyboard and mat, (which is ALL he come went in to get on the day)
