Proposed ProTools HD Sandy Bridge Hack

[RonT]

My local computer shop AtoZComputers is also good enough to allow me to try an i7 in it to see if it's compatible.

Should have that news tomorrow or Saturday.

I have successful to build a GA-H55-USB3 with i870, running 3 PCI cards for Pro Tools 9.0.3, anybody want to build a system running with 3 PCI cards, i will reccomment to use this mobo .

Yes, for previous generation i7's, that's the mobo to use. It's about 70% as powerful as the new Sandies. It's my backup plan.

Okay, i7 seems to be no bueno with C20x. I will double verify, but there's no post.

Sure, it does work with some boards (ASUS P8B WS for example).

JK,

No luck with your build either?

I'm still waiting for my X9SCA and E3-1230 which should arrive next week.

Confirmed false with i7.

Confirmed false with i7.

What do you mean? I got an i7-2600K working with an ASUS P8B WS and Mac OS X 10.6.7.

P8BWS is a SINGLE PCI slot workstation C206 board. It's irrelevant.

I suppose there's a chance my board's bad, though.
