So I got my hands on an i7
Was reading the reviews on it and just couldn’t resist crazy speeds. The HT bottleneck was fixed apparently and yes it is fast really fast!!.
Hold on!!. There is some ANNOYING problems with the clocking your ram on X85 chipsets therefore across all brands your damn RAM specifically OCZ and some say gel dont run at their desired speed.
So as what most people would do, that is manually adjust. The thing hands and throws tandtrums and doesnt stay true. I dunnnnnno whats going on it is a pain!, just wait for the latest bios updates
Solution
Well as all of us may think that our clock times ARE NOT working they are!. It is all on false pretenses of using Everest to check our latency. I recommed using CPUZ-ID and you will realise that the SPD on the OCZs are kind of screwed up so INDEED you do need to set them manually.
I noticed a HUGEE speed improvement in terms of loading windows so I know the timings were a lot better and bandwith increased. Checked everest they were the same, but then I checked using CPUZ turns out they are right
Note: Make sure your voltages on your RAM is sufficent to do your clock speeds if you starve them of power it tends to screw up.
