Do you guys know if MSI will release a motherboard with Lucid HYDRA for the Intel Core i7 2xxx chips?
That will be sweet!
I think I'm going to return my MSI Big Bang Fuzion, I will wait 3 weeks and then assemble a new computer

  • New Intel Sandy Bridge benchmarks and overclocking results! 4.7Ghz!!!

    Intel Sandy Bridge promises to deliver GPU quality graphics included in the CPU. However, these graphics are not going to compete directly with mid-range or high-range GPUs, but they will finally allow Intel (which quite honestly, sucks) to enter the graphic market. Finally, laptop users won't have crappy graphic and everyone should have at least decent graphic out of the box.
    After 15 years, finally I can consider this question "Do you have a graphics card?" a thing of the past. CPU should include a decent GPU right out of the box, and gamers will continue to buy their fancy Nvidia or ATI mid-range and high-end products, or even combine them in CrossFireX, SLI, or even Mix+Match using Hydra.
    The Chinese website http://www.inpai.com.cn has published a review that shows that there is little to no benefit in Intel Sandy Bridge if you compare the famous Intel Core i7 875k with the new Intel Core i7 2600k
    However, they were able to reach 4.7Ghz, so I don't see why they are so disappointed with Intel. Anyway, here is what they had to say about the new Intel Core i7 2600k
    Conclusion
    As far as overclocking is concerned, the Core i7 2600K processor reached a not so impressive 4.7GHz which is a disappointment amongst overclockers since they were the only one who's gonna pay for this CPU

  • The new iMacs, Sandy Bridge and WiDi 2.0 (Wireless HD Display)

    I understand that the new Sandy Bridge processors have built-in wireless display (WiDi - HD streaming to an external monitor) and since the new iMacs have these processors; do they have the ability to wirelessly stream HD content via WiDi 2.0?
    If not, is this a hardware issue or an OS X issue that may be addressed by a future OS release, such as Lion?

    So, yes, I welcome all kinds of waves, even micro ones... Seriously, this is completely affecting my next decision purchase. I want full browser experience on my HDTV without placing an iMac in my living room. If this feature cannot / will not be available on this iMac I will need to purchase a Mac Mini.
    Maybe I should re-title my post, but I can't be the only user that wants this feature and if Fusion / Parallels will allow it or a future OS X update will, I would like to know. Neither sales or AppleCare knows the answer?
    Strange.

  • Intel Z68 Sandy Bridge chipset and SSD caching....

    For those of us considering a move to the Sandy Bridge/Z68 platform, we will eventually need to sort out whether to take advantage of the chipset's ability to "improve" ONE hard drive with a smallish (64GB or less) SSD.
    Results I have seen indicate read speeds considerably slower than an SSD drive alone but acceptably improved performance over a bare hard drive. It seems like a promising situation. Capacity of a TB hard drive with read speeds nicely bumped upwards.
    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/z68-express-lucidlogix-virtu-ssd-caching,2888.html
    Question: If a user followed Harm's and other's suggestions in setting up a basic 3- or 4-drive computer, which drive should take the cheapo SSD?
    Thoughts:
    1) Assume the Z68 platform is loaded with all 16GB of memory that the four-slot Socket 1155 motherboard can typically accept. Would CS5 or 5.5 load enough program data into RAM to render placing the SSD on the OS drive for editing with Premiere minimally beneficial? Or would it simply make sense to put the SSD on the OS drive for so many other reasons that it's a no-brainer?
    2) If it's a close call, which other drive should get the SSD? If I understand correctly, this hybrid drive won't write data all that much better. The improvement will primarily be on reads. And on that, random access reads, not sustained throughput. This is especially the case with cheaper 40GB-ish SSD's. (Some one please verify this.) Most Sandy Bridge users opting for the lower end, 20 PCI-e lanes platform won't be big-time power users. (You guys are waiting for the Socket 2011 platform.) Many of us will be getting our footage from DSLR or other AVCHD sources. AVCHD is so compressed that a single drive can supply more than enough layers for the Joe Blow amateur editor.
    Unless we use Cineform NeoScene to lighten the load on the CPU, which will result in a much larger bitstream coming off the media drive for each layer, Would it make sense to help out a single drive in this situation? Or would it be universally better to set up a simple 2-disk RAID 0? Paying $65 for second drive and taking advantage of motherboard RAID 0 would seem to be a better solution if the media drive can't keep up.
    For any situation, if the media drive(s) is already fast enough, would caching the media drive offer many benefits? I'm under the impression that feeding Premiere with footage is a sequential read situation, not a random access deal. Isn't the strength of an SSD in random access reads, and wouldn't the best usage be to place it on a disk that primarily is used by Premiere in random access data fetching?
    3) Good grief. If it doesn't go on the OS or primary media drive supplying footage, where else? Projects disk? Scratch drive?
    4) Might the most useful thing be to avoid setting up a RAID while getting some of the speed benefits a RAID 0 offers? Many casual users can build a straightforward computer but have never set up a RAID array, even a 2-disk RAID 0.
    40GB SSD's are under $100 now. I suspect a lot of people will use this feature of the Z68, if the hybrid drive isn't hard to set up and is reliable. I'm curious how the Premiere crowd will make use of this feature, and will it make a palpable difference on a relatively simple editing rig? No Areca RAID cards and only 16GB memory. Nothing more than 3 or 4 single drives.

    Frankly I don't see how an inexpensive SSD would help the "caching" for editing with Premiere CS5, since a typical 7200 rpm 1TB drive can perform substained writes at about 2x what a typical small SSD does.
    Premiere CS5 continues to beg for lots of drives!
    Jim
    (one of the few "believers" in SSDs on this forum - and my "belief" is for OS and programs, not for input, media, caching, etc.)

  • New MBA Sandy Bridge Graphics vs. Current NVIDIA

    Is anyone here familiar with the new Sandy Bridge Intel Graphics and the current MBA's NVIDIA offering? I've read that the new Intel IGP is supposed to be "on par" with the NVIDIA chip, but I'm curious if this will actually be the case, or if it's possible that Apple will have Sandy Bridge alongside a dedicated mobile video card still - or if the new MBA graphics will disappointingly lag behind in graphics.
    Thanks!

    Hi Take,
    If you ever have a chance to browse the MacBook Pro forums, you'll find that a lot of people weren't aware of Apple's design decision. What's worse... these are from people that already bought the machine. I suppose if you're an "old school" Apple person then you just assumed that the Pro line has the discrete. You figure until the introduction of the 13" MBP and Apple's brief experiment with the cheaper entry point of the 15" MBP, all of the MacBook Pros had discrete GPUs, whereas the MacBook had the shared.
    Even more surprising was that the recent refresh of the 13" MacBook Pro didn't include the LCD panel found in the 13" MacBook Air with the 1440x900 resolution, it's still using the 1280x800.
    Unless you're an avid gamer, the Intel HD 3000 & Nvidia 320M are perfectly adequate. I've yet to encounter a game I couldn't run, albeit, on lower settings. Regarding the update, we'll have to wait and see. But it's no secret that the recent refresh of the MacBook Air was a huge success for Apple (they're very public about that), so you'd have to assume that Apple will continue to ensure that it stays current with technology.

    Has anyone noticed issues with Lion once its joined to the domain? As in it wont let domain users login with their creds? Lion works on models other then Sandy Bridges. It will let the local account logon but not a domain user account.
    Thanks

    Lion is not available yet to end users.  It won't be available until some point in July.  Please use the developer channels that were provided with your confidential e-mails from Apple to discuss it.  Apple Support Communities are only for discussing released Apple software and hardware

  • Reducing power consumption on Intel Sandy Bridge architecture

    I know this topic has created constant chatter, but the permanence of the internet has caused some confusion with me.  It seems most of the "fixes" for power drain on Sandy Bridge architecture concerns Ubuntu and it's depricated, non-vanilla kernel.
    So here is what I have, and what I'm seeing:
    V131 w/ Core i5 2430M 8G ram 64G SSD
    Arch Linux vanilla kernel
    KDE
    cpufreq utils
    boot options currently enabled
    i915.915_enable_rc6=1
    noatime,dirnoatime in fstab
    I ordered my V131 from Dell with Ubuntu 11.04 pre-installed, so I have no idea what kind of power drain this thing would have with Windows installed.  Right now powertop says I'm idling at 1W, which seems to be about twice what it should.  enabling RC6 has calmed the fan, which ran rather schizophrenically without it.
    I've read through the laptop wiki, but I'm confused as to what would work best with KDE's power management stuffs and what would be redundant.
    Any further suggestions?

    There is a known bug in all kernels since some point at 2.6.3X which won't be fixed in mainline until 3.3 kernel (see the Phoronix web site for more details). In my laptop (Dell E5420) it halved the battery liffe, an kept the fan at high speed, as well as the computer too hot. After some googling, yes I do managed to fix it in the current kernels also by adding these kernel parameters in grub:
        pcie_aspm=force   i915.i915_enable_rc6=1
    Now I run the battery for about 11 hours (up from 5-6), and the fan periodically even stops (zero noise with SSD!). Talking about the battery, I also need another boot options to prevent the mouse to become sometimes veeeeryyyy slow in X window while charging the battery:
        drm_kms_helper.poll=N  irqpoll
    Hope the "standard default" situation will improve in the future.

  • MOVED: Sandy Bridge Bios and memory problems

    Quote
    the problem is the way the board shut down when I put 4 stick, it's like the board is overload
    Quote
    do you mean I have to enable XMS ?
    Actually, it's not likely a mainboard overload at all, it's probably the CPU IMC having the problem. Enable of X.M.P. is the last thing you want to do. If the RAM has to be set in this manner, it is not programmed to properly default at the platform's designed specifications. BIOS revisions dealing with compatibility are being worked on to make up for this RAM manipulation.
    My apology to the OP in advance for the next comments. Some here at the forum have been advised before, that having to set X.M.P. to get the RAM to work properly (having to OC it) is a wrong way to go about it. The platform must first be able to run at stock/auto/default with no issues 'first', then venturing off to more exotic settings later if desired. This 'forcing' of non spec 'rated' RAM & programming is purely product marketing tactics. As mentioned, with four sticks of RAM, the CPU IMC may require an increase of DRAM V. Here is the official specifications from the current Intel data. This data is not really open to debate. For those that have issue with it, take it up with Intel!

  • Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2400 Vcore Range

    Hi, want to check with you guys what is your i5 2400 Vcore range ? (As reported by CPUZ 1.56)
    Mine keep stagnant at 1.19-1.21v between idle and load. I just know that idle vcore should be around 0.9v.
    Is this normal ? My CPU frequency did downclock to 1600Mhz (100Mhz x 16) but vcore remained 1.19v.
    My setting are :
    Mobo - MSI P67A-C45 (Bios version 1.7)
    GreenPowerMode - APS / Intel SVID (No effect)
    CPU Setting - EIST enabled, CPU vcore auto, Spread spectrum on, Vdroop control high. CIE support on, Intel C state on, Power technology Custom/Energy efficient (No effect)
    All other setting on auto
    Despite any setting I tweak and even optimised default, the vcore remained 1.19v although clock downed to 1600mhz. Any idea ? TQ !

    If your not overclocking, try disabling Vdroop, as far as I know, that should only be enabled when you overclock and put high loads on the psu, to avoid burning out cpu.
    But in normal cases, I wouldnt use it.
    Also disable spreadspectrum unless the pc is interfering with other signals in your house/pc's neighbourhood.

  • [SOLVED] Xorg won't start - Intel Sandy Bridge graphics

    Did a fresh install of Arch on my laptop last night, looking to use the window manager i3 which I have installed but when i run "exec i3" it logs me out, indicating some sort of failure in the session. Tried "startx" and noticed that didn't work either.
    "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" shows me the following errors in the log:
    (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
    Extensively read the Intel and Xorg pages on the wiki and googled for an hour or two, tried to create some custom configurations for Xorg but nothing has worked so far.
    It appears to be some issue with the driver in combination with Xorg. I've tried updating, then uninstalling and reinstalling the packages (the three Xorg packages + Intel driver) and specifying what driver and acceleration mode Xorg should use (intel and sna). No luck so far.
    Anyone here who is having the same problem or know the solution?

    Well maybe I am asking the wrong question then, because I think that might be exactly whats happening. I think maybe my problem is simply related to the window manager, i3.
    Here's a link to my log anyways, if anyone wants to take a look and help me exclude Xorg from the list of potential causes:
    https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f85c2a1f2a0319198a09
    My original problem was that running "exec i3" gives me a blank screen followed by the login screen. I remember running "startx" at another installation I was troubleshooting and getting the very basic Xorg interface, but I dont have xterm or twm installed right now so thats probably why it's just shutting down when I run "startx".

    This means we have to wait a bit longer for the 8 DIMM socket models to appear, but maybe the price of 8 GB sticks will start to come down. Interesting times ahead.

    Actually, Scott, what the article stated was that 8-slot motherboards will be relatively few at launch. Most of the launch-day LGA 2011 motherboards will have only four DIMM slots.

  • Intel finds errors in Sandy Bridge chipset

    I just saw this announcement that Intel has found design flaws in the new Sandy Bridge chipset and it looks like there will be a recall. I just bought a Satellite A660 with the i7-2630qm which has the Intel 6 series chipset in question. What a disappointment! I guess that's the risk you take when you buy new technology. I hope Toshiba will fix this for those who already have this processor. I was thinking about returning this model anyway and now I really want to get rid of it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the response, Jim, but I'd like to register my disappointment with Toshiba's decision.  I *like* my new Satellite and I'd much prefer to get it fixed.  I'd like to point out that a certain competitor (rhymes with 'bell') is offering a refund, replace, or repair three-option solution.  Toshiba's one size fits all solution, which really only benefits Toshiba and not their customers, looks pretty poor by comparison.  I hope Toshiba reconsiders.

  • What's the difference between Core 2 Duo and Sandy Bridge Processors?

    I have the BASE model of the late 2009 iMac which is the first of the new edge to edge glass iMac's! (3.16 GHZ 4GB RAM) Just wondering what is the advantage and how much faster are the new Sandy Bridge i5 and i7 iMacs? Would I notice the difference if I were to upgrade? How much?
