Its funny how the mind sees what it wants to see. I read it again after you said that and see what you were saying. I read emphasis on the beginning of the sentence.

What do you mean "In the right hands?" LN2? I dont think LN2 makes any difference in this series over a good phase change unit. I have noticed that the margins between LN2 and phase have been getting closer and closer each series. For 5 years I have watched T&B get within an eye lash of records with each series with only a phase change unit. He never sought attention for it. LN2 guys are usually sitting on a ton of chips and a few boards(T&B did this with 2 chips and 3 boards). Problem is that once your out of LN2 sessions over. Can you really study a chip for its absolute top for days like you can on a good phase changer? I do believe the chip is in the right hands. Edit: Hey i'm a Kitchen Robot!

This is 6/12 cores all running same speed. Edit: wow I was making a comment on HWbot. Had no Idea it would become a forum thread! LOL

Question, Im about to have one of these chips this wednesday but I have a GA-X58A-UD5, Wondering if I need to get another board to run it or will UD5 run this processor? I figured if the UD9 is running it my board should. 5ghz on air cooling, Couldnt pass it up.
