We have the opportunity to check out how the EVGA X58 SLI FTW board overclocks using the E-LEET Tune utility. Basically this tool allows you to tweak QPI and PCIE frequency as well as CPU multiplier real-time within the OS. Another neat feature is the voltage tweaking options which is soon to be revealed. With the tool, we can easily overclock the Core i7 965 to 3.8GHz @ 20X multiplier and 190MHz base clock. EVGA is still tweaking the BIOS so we can expect more headroom on base clock in time to come.

Need to know how your Extreme (QX9650) fairs against the new Extreme - Intel's (Nehalem) Core i7 Extreme 965 Socket 1366. Is it a fair fight or a simple pushover. Read as we pit them against each other in a synthetic benchmark fight using 3DMark Vantage. And if that isn't juicy enough we will overclock the CPUs upto 4.0GHz.

Intel will be updating their Montevina line-up with new mobile processors in Q2 '09 with a Penryn based Core 2 Duo T9900 which tops 3.06GHz and a Core 2 Duo P8800 at 2.66GHz. However, Montevina Refresh Platform is going to be very short-lived as the new Calpella Platform will launch in Q3 '09 made up of the Nehalem-based Clarksfield mobile processors and Ibex Peak-M (GM57, GM55, PM55) chipsets. In the entry level space, there will be Penryn-based Celerons succeeding the Merom-based Celerons in Q3 next year along with several new entry level chipsets like GL43 and GS40.

ASUS today unveiled the Republic of Gamers (ROG) Rampage II Extreme. The board features ROG Extreme Engine, a multi-phase power management system—16 phases for the CPU and 3 phases each for QPI/DRAM, the Northbridge and memory—with Multilayer type Polymer Capacitors (ML Caps) that keep the power supply stable under loads. The board also features TweakIt and ProbeIt, tools that enable overclockers to adjust and monitor their frequency and voltage settings directly from the motherboard itself.
