Ivy motherboards have launched already and are available at IAMEXTREME.NET - Online computer shopping in Pakistan, Motherboards, Graphic Cards, Power Supplies at cheapest prices.

Great Job Yasir Bhai... I'm going to wait for the processors to hit. Then I'll buy all the components together.

BTW is the Cavier Black worth the extra money paid for compared to Barracuda 7200.12? I've heard mixed things about 7200.12.

@LeGenD123 this man can give a proper answer to this.

@sohaib50k. I was referring to the older models of SG Barracuda (7.2k RPM HDD). They were more reliable than the new 7200.10, 7200.11 and 7200.12 RPM.

Which old models? the maxtor ones?.
And galaxy has the 3gb/s seagate 7200.12,and 6gb/s caviar black.
The black avg read speed=105,accestime=12.5
The seagate avg read speed=98 accestime=14.5.

 

[Baghi]

Yes, DiamondMax etc. They were very reliable.

Hey guys, I'm getting restless here. Can't wait for Ivy Processors to hit. So I've planned to get the following along with a C2D processor from the PG market for the time-being until Ivy processors hit. So guys will it create any bottleneck, compatibility issues or things like that?

AsRock Z77 Ext4,
G.Skill RipJaws X 8gb (2x4gb),
Cooler Master Storm Enforcer,
CM Silent Pro 600W (Modular),
Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200.12,
Dvd-RW,

Will save and buy a good GPU later ofcourse.

So anything that I should be keeping in mind? Your input is greatly appreciated guys.

You can't use a C2D processor with 1155 socket (z68/z77) :|

LOL yeah. Also we've been telling you repeatedly to go for cheaper value ram and yet you persist in selecting gskill ripjaws? Go with kingston value ram man.

G.Skill value rams are better as in they cheaper + carry lifetime warranty, Kingstons only have 1 year.

Dunno what the heck was I thinking there when I wrote that! FAIL.

Guess I'll just have to wait ...

Gskill value rams are ok too. However, warranty doesn't matter much because ram modules don't go bad.

cheap processor with 1155? get a g620, preferably used(i take it that ur gonna sell it afterwards, as soon as u get a proper cpu). its as good as a c2d & costs around 6k new

Yup that's what I intend to do once Ivy processors hit. But should I go for i3-2100 rather than g620 for the time-being?

Plus if I manage do get a 560Ti before an Ivy processor will the i3 bottleneck the GPU or will it work just fine?

 

[theundead]

the i3 2100 is obviously a better performer, it has HT(shows 4 cores in windows) & a higher clock, but one may speculate that the cheapest will get the least price hit when new stuff is introduced.
& i think the i3 may bottleneck a 560ti, but it will atleast not cripple the gpu to a halt(u wont get the best performance out of ur card, but do expect it to perform reasonably well, esp on full HD & higher resolution)

Ok thanks mate :salute:

I know what I've to go for now. Close the thread mods.
