So, I've wondered, was this series inspired at least partially by Top Gear?

I remember those days, when board makers were going against each other to see who makes the boards with the best copper heatsinks designs with heatpipes. :D

copper was immediatly shunned when LGA775 become old. so yes.

And that is one of the reasons why I like LGA775-all of the good overclockers are on it, and the motheboards actually justify their prices, unlike the new, overpriced ones.

linus, luke, please continue to make these videos, this type of videos are awesome

They will, he said that's why it's part 1a 1b 1c instead of part 1 2 3 :D

exactly.

also DAT 45nm SEXYNESS YO

its so nice for overclocking and runs a tad cooler and is still good enough for most gaming and like... *sigh* 

core 2 quad fo lyfe dawg.

Good conclusion guys. ;)

 

I hope some people stop to claim that i3 or Pentium are good for gaming cause as we can see Linus chose a Quad Core with a lower GPU than Luke who invest all is money in a great one but he had a Dual Core that have totally bottleneck it.

 

Linus totally beat Luke cause of this particular choice.

 

Good JOB :)

Brilliant series!!!

 

Can anyone explain what happened? Was Luke's cpu so weak that it couldn't drive the 290? Bad PCI lane? Just sheer throughput vs the quad on Linus' machine?

 

This is a real revelation on how everyone says just upgrading a gpu will be sufficient to keep your machine current. Clearly not the case!

All i3s have hyperthreading so they can run like a quad core. They actually are a good gaming CPU, with performance very similar to an FX 8350 (8 "cores" getting rekt by 2 cores 4 threads, who'd have thought that it was possible).

Trust me when I say that the CPU Luke chose was the wrong one for gaming. Linus had the right idea and was able to make a well balanced system.

Yes that is socket 775. The board in that picture is the Asus P5K3 Premium Black Pearl Edition. Black Pearl is basically Asus's best of the best boards, that's limited edition and sometimes comes with nice accessories. Too bad they stop making it. :\ One odd part with that P5K3 is there is no ram slots, it has 2GB of DDR3 1333MHz soldered to the board.

Yes I am nitpicking, deal with it :P

 

I mean series 1, episode 1, etc

 

Sounds more professional IMHO

 

They could do it better.

No upgrade option for the RAM? Ok, just no. Its not like the motherboard is for a laptop.

Great show. I do with the episodes were longer, Especially the finale. It would have been nice to first show first Linus doing a quick overview of his parts, installing everything, checking to make sure everything works and then fine tuning an overclock on both the CPU and GPU (the end was a bit of  a mess because they rushed the overclocks). Then after all that switching to Luke and having him to the same things then afterwards they can battle eachother in the benchmarks. This is pretty much what they did but there was a lot of chopped footage and it felt too rushed.

 

I love the concept of the show and i know this was the first time doing it and they will be doing it more but i just think longer and more in-depth footage is much more enjoyable.

There is the P5K3 Deluxe that has ram slots. This board uses the Intel P35 chipset, so the PCIe lanes are split into x16/x4. The Blitz Formula and Blitz Extreme has a CrossLinx, so the lanes are split evenly at x8/x8. P5E runs on Intel X38 chipset (Deluxe runs on the X48 chipset) and has PCIe lanes running at x16/x16, from this, there is also the Rampage Formula and Rampage Extreme, which also runs on X48 and has x16/x16.

Great series! I worked a lot with both cpu's and always thought the e8400 was the beter gaming CPU because of the higher multiplier. In these days I thought dual core was enough, but no longer today it seems. Maybe if the motherboard could overclock thuis e8400 it would have been closer.

If you are looking for ideas: how about a contest by getting the most out of a dell Optiplex 755 sff or a HP dc7800 sff. These computers are out there A LOT for almost free, but not easy to get them to play games on.

I meant higher stock FSB and thuis frequency, not higher multiplier
