Intel is now ready to launch another corei7 processor model in march with 1600FSB and 3.5ghz

buying intel processor is like drinking coca cola , digest very soon , frequent updating

^source??
I doubt its true...first of all 1600fsb!?!...theres no such thing as FSB in the core i7 series...FSB died with core2, the main clock speed in core i7 is derived from baseclock*multiplier

Hey,

I was wondering whether newegg provide service in India?

I mean if your any part gets spoiled before warranty then How would you replace it?I mean would you go to united states to replace the part?Or is there any sort of service being provided by them here?

Wow!! Price are very high as compared to outside India (I.e US)

Well I hope the price to come down.
I was even preparing Core i7 PC but the Price difference got me down.

Core i7 920 -> 18k + taxes
MSI X58 Eclipse -> 24.5k + taxes
Click to expand...
BOY thats xpensive...i paid a little less than that for everything including RAM
2 questions:
1.What RAM are you getting and wats the price quoted for it (Tripple channel is the way to go for core i7)
2.What cooler are you planning to use?
AND some advice:
The first thing you ought to do once you set everything up is to get into the cell menu, manually set RAM ratio and clocks AND most important of them all dont forget to change vcore and QPI voltage from auto to +[0.0]...(i actually undervolted mine to 1.8v (1.6 with vdrop)) at 3.2Ghz.....will try to get u bios pics

UPDATE:
Here they are:

^i think you were talkin about the GFLOPs not MOPS...A dual core stands no chance in sandra against a core i7 AFAIK...i get 67Gflops

Congrats Man. You would be among very few Indians in India having there own i7.
Just one query Do you really need to overclock the fastest processor?:D

^^The Low end RAM is going to hamper your overclock results quite badly as increases the baseclock increases everything from the qpi speed to the RAM speed...set your multiplier as low as possible and tell me your modified RAM speed then.

* MSI X58 Eclipse - Rs. 23900/- (All inclusive) + Shipping

if ur thinking of selling ur TRUE, u might consider buying a Coolermaster V8 fot that monster of a CPU. it even comes with brackets for LGA 1366 for i7 support as per the
