    I gave up and got a new monitor. I couldn’t find a decent dual link DVI solution for this.

    X99 is coming. Which board, MFR!?

    It looks like ASrock is the only company supporting ECC memory. So I suppose my next build will be with one of their board.

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    So are the heatsink mounting holes/dimensions the same? If the ILM is different (I know the load tabs are north/south instead of east/west), the holes could be too...

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    I'm not sure the load plate/mounting holes are the same. They may be (probably are) but I wanted to make sure.

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    Now actually on topic - what heatsink are people using for these? A quick scan at Newegg didn't see any listed but I could have missed them....

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    Which version? Mainstream and high-end Xeon was never overclockable. There may have been a workstation SKU (like Xeon E5-1600 today) that was basically the Core i7 Extreme SKU with ECC memory that was overclockable. But that is not two-socket Xeon, which is what Lutjens seems to want. PS...

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    You clearly have never worked in marketing. Xeon has a "brand promise" that included rock-solid stability. Overclocking and stability don't intersect in the mind of a branding person. HFT shops losing tons of money because of bad math on an overclocked Xeon is pretty much Intel's worst-case...

    I've been super happy with my pair of Shimians. I thought about this tonight, after I ran my RC helicopter into one of them, realizing that I'm very glad I got the version with the glass. :)

    Man, these things are gorgeous. I just turned them on & started using them. I'm sure there's something I should do with brightness and color balance or something, but I haven't gotten that far yet. the resolution is omghueg though. Had to up the display scaling to 125% using the Magnifier...

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    I finally got my 2 monitors from dreamseller. I ordered the IPSB model, and recieved the IPSI model. The glass is inset - doesn't cover the whole front of the monitor. The monitor is marked IPSB. I am not sure if I care or not. I'll have them mounted on the dual VESA mount later today or...

    FYI: I ordered 5, nearly 6, days ago & dreamseller still hasn't shipped. Says they'll ship tomorrow. :( Was hoping to have these by now. Oh well.
