    I ordered my Sager 9570 Monday with the 3930K. This morning I received an email from Larry at LPC-Digital that my machine will be at my house tomorrow with a 4930K installed. It was $25 cheaper than the 3930K. All the Ivy-E Cpus are on LPC-Digitals configuration page. Cant wait till tomorrow!! :D

    Awesome, thats a nice suprise for sure :thumbsup:

    Sager added them to the NP9570 yesterday, all the resellers should have their configuration pages updated.

    northstar2320 let us know how the beast work out for you) Do you mind to check GPU-Z with the latest drivers to see if there's support for PCI-E 3.0, please? Hope the CPU temps are better with IVE-E inside) Tnx

    You need the updated bios but yes the 780M should just slot in.

    I'm getting the 90% gamut display which I will overclock. I'm getting the 4930k + 2x780Ms with 2 PSUs, i'll be using my samsung DDR3 modules and using my 512gb vector SSD.

    The GTX780M only works on Motherboard v2.2+, we had no success on v2.1, though we have yet to test with the new BIOS...

    Can someone explain the Ivy-E to me?

    Why wouldn't you just use a Haswell?

    Haswell does not exist on the high end intel parts (socket 2011) which is what they use on servers. They move at a slower pace due to customer requirements.

    The advantage of the platform are higher amounts of CPU cores (6 and up to 12 vs 4 on any other platform), higher memory bandwidth (quad channel memory) and more pci express lanes (40 from the CPU instead of 20).

    Gamers typically should stick to haswell but if you are a bencher or have other requirements then nothing will quite pump out the numbers of the server chips.

    Not a problem, intel don't help by calling everything the 4xxx series when it applies to different generations of chips.

    Meaker, what is your motivation for going Ivy-E? I.e. how do you plan to use it that justifies it?

    It's going to be different and fun if you must know my personal reason.

    Running cooler, overclocking better and not having integrated voltage regulators on the CPU are all excellent reasons to choose a Sandy, Ivy or Ivy-E processor over Haswell. Congrats on the new beast Meaker.

    Thanks, still in way early testing, figuring which 2 of the 3 780m cards I currently have I am going to keep is next on my list but I'm away from home today. Also want to replace many of the thermal pads and reseat all 3 heatsinks.

    I understand the logic. I think we all like new technology, something new to play with, to learn about. Congrats
