PRO takes PCmark05 record O ur in house extreme overclocker, Pro, recently managed to take the World record in PCMark05. The new WR is now set at 35,364. In his own words, “No TWEAKS, just pure raw frequency, and the way you love it! Gigabyte X58 GA-X58AUD3R, MSI 5870 Lightning, 4x Corsair force 60GB SSD, Corsair GTX2 RAM kit, 2x ANS-ACARD, ARECA 1280ML raid controller, 4x GIGABYTE I-RAMS, Corsair 1000W, Antec 1200OC and a bunch of beautiful old school CORSAIR DDR1 and DDR2 sticks, the UD3R able to bring all those components together and bench the CPU at good clocks!” Well done to Pro and, keep pushing it.? GIGABYTE Previews P67 motherboard G IGABYTE has shown off two P67 LGA 1155 Motherboards for INTEL’s upcoming Sandy Bridge CPUs. Not much to be said on the motherboards currently other than that they look to introduce a new colour scheme for the company. Both motherboards are mainly black/gun metal with gold accents on some heatsinks for the UD7 model and the traditional GIGABYTE BLUE for the UD5 model. The boards look packed with features, including what looks to be 4 USB3.0 ports. We are unsure at present if that means there are two controllers on the board or GIGAYTE has found a vendor that has a 4-port controller. Right now the colour scheme seems to be polarizing the various online communities, but we suspect in due time it’ll grow on us all. As far as we are concerned the new scheme is a bold move for GIGABYTE and a welcome change for us the end users. As usual, we will keep you posted on further developments.?
