Stokkes Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hey all, I'm thinking of upgrading my server due to fact that I'm not really satisfied with my board (Asus P5K which has a few sata connectors that broke off).. and I was thinking of picking up a cheap LGA 1156 board (Newegg has a nice Gigabyte board for 94$) and the Core i3-530 CPU which is an amazing power saver (compared to this E6500) is only about 110$.. I haven't found any posts regarding any new Core i3/i5/i7 or LGA 1156 testing and I'm very curious to see if anyone has tempted it. Btw.. here's the board: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128420 Quote Link to comment
GaryMaster Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'll be doing some testing on a socket LGA1156 H55 board later this week with an i3-530, including power draw information. I have comparison data from various hardware configurations, including Atom based boards and other chipsets. Will post results in this thread: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5076.165 This is the board I will be using for the test: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131623 Quote Link to comment
GaryMaster Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Initial results are posted for the Core i3 system here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5076.msg49964#msg49964 I'm very impressed so far. Quote Link to comment
