    Thanks for the runs Noclue.. Very promising. I look forward to my own attempts. Any clue if the GPUs are OC friendly?

    johnkss if you raise the FSB you raise the PCI-E,PCI and Ram, well basically everything. However in the desktop world you have full control of these where you can set the PCI to 33.3 MHz else it will just hang, same you can lock the PCI-E at the stock speeds. Raising the PCI-E much can destroy your GPU basically :)

    I love overclocking and the desktops are so easy since the bios control is total, too bad laptops doesn´t have the same :(

    ccarollo, screen shots please? Cause I do have a x9100, and my OCZ will be here Wed. I'll make sure to post plenty of screen shots, and temps, and anything asked of me. I'd hope you do the same.

    Thanks for the info, new here but was actually looking at this model and a few others. Can you tell me your experiance with this company, purchase, time to ship, quality, have you spoke with them, etc?

    thanks in advance.

    dang...some how i thought i sent a reply to this...but i guess it didn't go through.

    im in agreement.. i have a desktop running the outdated q6600 & a gtx280 on a maximus formula x38 chipset. and i can configure all aspects of the system.

    but on a laptop...they usually tie all that stuff together unless it's just the multiplier moving..(speculation of course) with laptops the multiplier can be tied in to everything else as well. if you run certain programs to monitor your bus speed..it will show the fsb speed dropping as the cpu clocks drop. im still not 100 percent sure the pci-e is affected in the process.....

    I'm only allowed to post URLs to other sites after I've made 15 posts or more, and I'm hosting all my photos on my own site. What a stupid restriction.

    Guess I won't be posting my pictures on this site -- admins, is this really what you want?

    Neither does failing to read posts before you respond to them. I didn't say anything about posting just for the sake of posting; I said that you should look around and find something else that strikes your fancy/irks you, and provide us all with your constructive, substantive contributions.

    Thank you for the pics. I tried +repping you, but it said I've spread too much love in the past 24 hours.

    But, I do appreciate the pics and screen shots. That thing is a beauty, and it gives me a great idea of what to expect with mine. Curious, when you OC'd the CPU..did you do it via BIOS? Does it max out @ 3.3GHz? And can you possibly grab a screen shot OC'd with cpu-z showing the bus speed and such? Dude, you'll get your +rep ASAP. And, be prowd of that rig.. show it off :)

    Yeah I overclocked with the BIOS, a 12.5 multiplier gets you to 3.3Ghz, which is the highest it goes.

    Hmmm.. Can you post a CPU-Z shot of the x9100 overclocked? Please? And I wonder why they dont let you go any higher in the BIOS.. I believe the multiplier goes up to 17.. :p

    yep, that es chip is about 450 to 500 because mine was like 350 to 400 when i sold it all to alitunay
    a retail chip is 1k or 853.00 if you buy like 1000 of them or are a decently known reseller... they told me 1k...said i wasn't known enough yet..*LOL*

    you know me... i "had" an es and loved it to death! never a problem and performed well above what i thought it would.

    but we are more or less talking about cost to machine.. now if it's given to me at street cost or slightly above street cost.. im with it..but when it says 960 bucks...ummmm, i aint with that!! better take off like 400 to 500 bucks!!
    that's a blu ray drive, better hard drives or even a solidstate drive.

    Just some info, K|N offers the X9100 at $250 over the default P9500.

    Another note, let's not stray down that ES issue again now shall we? God forbid this thread gets closed as well.

    I got a NP5793 amd that thing is not really nay better than the P-7811 so I changed my mind. This time I am going for the whitebook if Xoticpc accepts my exchange request. I didn't even open the 5793 yet so I don't see any reason for not to. I'll put a x9000 in it and see what happenes. I am getting the barbone system with crossfire and 5300 wifi. Else will be my imagination. 2x500gb hdds in raid would be nice I guess. Anybody have a definitive answer on the capability this system has. I mean, I see all kinds of performance scores.

    huh? what are you talking about? im not saying anything was bought from k|n and i didn't check k|n pricing on and es x9100. i was thinking more along the lines of where i bought mine. and an x9100 is 960.00 bucks retail. stray down this es issue? your killing me with that. we we're looking at the cpuz id that was posted so we did not take this path to begin with. more of a surprise to us was all. not a bash fest. :)

    edit: and your 250.00 price above a p9500 falls right in where i said just above street price. also where i said that would be cool.(im with that)

    I assume you meant any better as in performance wise?

    I'm aware that you weren't talking about anything bought about K|N or his pricing on the X9100. I just brought it up as alitunay mentioned the ES bit earlier and you mentioned the price. As ccarallo had purchased his from K|N, I was bringing the two together. I wanted to point out that K|N's pricing is definitely fair on the X9100. Hence the "Just some info", And plus, I wanted to remind everyone about the "discussion" that went on earlier, no need to go down there again. :D

    I noticed that K|N cost only $250 to go from the p9500 to the x9100 while xoticpc charges $550, Why does xoticpc cheagre $300 more than K|N? are am I looking at things all wrong?

    in price

    all my 68xx fx brothers were very happy with their X-es cpus performance.
    i still hold it as one my best purchases.

    but lets drop it unless people ask specifics, as we already fought reconciled fought and got tired over this too many times.
