Intel Core i7-950 Review
SiSoft Sandra, Pov-Ray
Published: 13th October 2010 | Source: Intel | Price: £244.35 |
SiSoft Sandra
Straight away we can see the difference that the i7-950 has over the i7-930. Both at stock and overclocked it takes a big lead in what is normally a very tight test.
Processor MultiMedia
Being the most synthetic of our synthetic tests, the Sandra testing responds perfectly to the clock speed increase of the i7-950 over the i7-930. The only glitch in our testing is the Float x8 result on the i7-930 being abnormally high.
POV-Ray
If there is one other thing that responds to clock speed, it's Ray Tracing. POV-Ray is the excellent freeware Ray-Tracing package of choice and the i7-950 definitely gets the job done.

Just letting you know looking forward to your OC guide. Probably like the zillionth time you've heard that, take your time ill be happy whenever its done. ^^"
from the videos seems like its taken alot of work and is gonna take even more
but maybe it can accompany some sort of print out\text aswell aswell as the video, but i wouldn't really know how it would work.
good luck
