Cannot Decide Between 1156 or 1366 Chipset??

At present, I am having the most difficulty on choosing my new system. If I was to go with the 1156 chipset, I would be purchasing the Intel core i7 860 and if I was to go with the 1366 chipset I would be purchasing the Intel Core i7 920

I have also listened to that triple channel RAM is faster than dual channel, so yet though I am receiving 2GB's more RAM, at faster timings with the dual channel, would 6GB's of triple channel memory do better?

There is also a line of Xeon processors that employ the 1156 platform and end consumers are using them in p55 boards. Intel Xeon X3440 Lynnfield 2.53GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156

Actually we are less than a quarter a mode from a whole bunch of 32nm processors from
Intel. For the 1156 platform, CHEAPER i5's and I3's than the present I5 750. But they will be on the lesser die. Right now on the leaked road map, they are going to have fewer stores. And be cost less than the i5 750, but that does not denote they will be lesser chips. These chips may o/c 25% more than what we are seeing now?

On a desktop PC there are only some apps that will actually benefit from triple-channel (which I believe most folks 'guess-timate' a 5% development in memory thru-put in those few programs).

With either i7 platform (I'm recognizable with AMD benches - not i7) you most probable will conquer the 5% triple --> dual with OC'ing the NB/IMC (which will decrease latency and increase bandwidth) and, certainly, your tighter timings and superior quantity.

I don't believe LGA 1156 will be outdated any time soon; the socket just appeared... And the fact that Intel is going to shove some more CPU's for that platform.

using 750.00$ CAN on a mobo/cpu/ram is ridiculous, particularly on the 1156, you might as well choose the 1366 platform at that price point...

My counsel would be to build an i7 920 rig with that budget.... In the end it will price less and perform better.

Initially, what was said regarding multi GPU only on the i7 platform? Is that what you intended? Because there are many 1156 boards that arrive with 3 PCI-E slots. I can't picture that I would yet employ more than two GPU's, but I am an audiophile, so I would employ the third PCI-E slot for a sound card.

Would you suggest expecting the new 32mm processors? Because memorize, this will be a performance build, so I certainly don't want anything inferior than the i7 860, or the i7 920.

How does the i7 860 OC? I am big on overclocking, so desire to confirm I get a good performer. My setup right now is the Scythe Mugen 2 with 2 120mm fans on the 775 chipset. The mugen 2 is friendly with 1366, but if I was to go with the 1156, I would obtain the Prolimatech Megashadow.

As for socket ablaze, it's a vastly exaggerated issue. Many of the untimely boards had badly intended sockets. As a result, if they were greatly overclocked (like under liquid nitrogen, not just normal overclocking), it could cause electrical arcing and burning of the socket. There is essentially no possibility of it happening if you're overclocking without something akin to liquid nitrogen or a cascade cooler.

As for multi-GPUS. The 1156 motherboards only have 1 true 16X slot. If you sprint 2 or 3 GPUs you'll be operating 8x/8x as different to 16x/16x on those PCI slots.

So if you balancing up identical systems between 1366 & 1156 and Crossfire or SLI setups on both, you'd discover the 1366 would theoretically do enhanced. This is merely because the X58 based motherboards support dual 16x PCI slots and will permit each video card to function with full 16x bandwidth.

And I’m not certain on that one jerrece. Since the UD6 has 24 phase power, would that not permit it to allocate a full x16 bandwidth dual GPU system?

The 1156 chips yet have Turbo Boost. Akin to my i5-750 has it. The only genuine disparity between i5 and i7 is Hyperthreading.

The genuine disparity between 1156 and 1366 is Dual Channel memory versus tri-channel memory and the 16x versus 8x PCI-E lanes with manifold GPUs.

24 phase power is not connected to PCI-E bandwidth. Bandwidth and power are dissimilar things. The 24 phase power has more to do with system steadiness when overclocking and such. Where as the bandwidth restraint for PCI-E lanes has to do with the chipset the motherboard is derived from.Bandwidth has to perform with how much data can be sent and how rapidly.The 24 phase power is about electrical steadiness, efficiency and heat.
