Sandy Bridge Builds?

[PDXgeek]

First Question:
What Mobo did you guys use for the SB Hackintosh?

I need to start ordering parts!

MUCH thanks to the folks running things here for all their efforts and support!

And if you waited to build and still don't want to go 1155(huh?), get ready for a big 1366 discount. Patience pays off once again!

It's great news but if you use your Hackintosh for work you may need to wait for a little longer, to paraphrase tonymac's and macman words

Now a discounted 1366 and relative core i7s would be the prefect scenario...look forward to that

So, where is the new SB special section?

I think any money you might have saved would be gobbled up by the increased power usage. Besides there is little performance advantage of 1366 over 1156 to justify the increased cost of the platform.

Don't fool yourself into believing in false savings.

Nobody is going to be able to answer these questions for a good while.

Marvellous. I was not expecting confirmation for weeks, let alone before the official release.

4.5Ghz Quad-core, 16GB RAM, SSD based OS X here we come :¬)

What was the motherboard, by the way?

 

[jonisign]

This is great news! I guess now we need to know what motherboard this was on and how stable the system was still...

That's soo amazing!
I'm waiting for the BIG price-drop.
I'd really like to buy a Core i5 760 for ~180€.
30€ less would be nice!

If you buy the i5 760 the multiplier for that cpu is 10x. So don't buy memory over
1333 (10x 133) because to use 1600, you must OverClock. the 9xx cpus (1366 MB) have
a multiplier of 12x (12x 133) = 1600 so don't require overclocking the cpu. But there is very little performance advantage to 1600 vs. 1333, that is vendor hype.
