Sexy's channel I'm dr. sexy now I'm just kidding welcome to tech of tomorrow and today is the launch of the new ivy bridge-e cpus we were lucky to get our hands on the new Ivy Bridge dash e 40 960 X we've been testing it out on the x79 platform now right behind me I have the inland test station this thing's really cool it's there xfactor like thing you guys can see behind me now i'm using the asus rampage extreme motherboard that's their ex every nine series had to flash the bios to its latest update to make sure it recognized the cpu but after that everything was absolutely fine far as the memory goes 32 gigabytes of patriot viper extreme we've got it to this XMP profile one at 1866 megahertz as far as our drives go we have a couple of them for our SSD boot drive we have a 520 series from Intel that is a say 23 it's 240 gigabytes and for our mass storage Drive we have a western digital one terabyte standard hard drive the cooling is provide as you guys can see by the corsair h 90 which is back there it works very well and Intel actually recommends that you use liquid cooling on these CPUs now we use two CPUs in our test set up the 3960 that was the Sandy Bridge that's what we did the initial testing we remove that cpu and we put on the Ivy Bridge 4960 X now you guys can see everything's lit up behind me it's open air test bench it's very easy to work with all the controls everything are right there in the front so we just hit a button and away we go now if yes somehow didn't notice there are a pair of GPX Titans on the test station we tested with those and a single gtx 780 now for the Haswell side of things we use a different motherboard we used the Maximus hero motherboard that's on the new z87 platform we use the i7 4770k now one of the drives was actually different the memory was very similar it's also the Patriot series it's red and we had that set also at X and B profile 1866 megahertz but for the SSD boot drive we use the Patriot pyro 240 gigabyte drive as far as the hard drive for storage we use the same western digital one terabyte drive so those are our test stations we thought they were pretty damn similar they're all kind of the same spec we try to maintain using the same controllers across the board so as far as apples to apples testing goes this is pretty damn close now nothing's going to be totally exact but I think this is about as close as you can get if you guys are looking to buy these parts want to reproduce those tests station at home you guys can check out the link down below like but which I knew you guys are going to hit and you guys can see all these parts if you want to recreate your own test ISM or build a system based around these parts it will be down there so if you happen to somehow miss it we have the full review and all that stuff right up here behind me you guys can click on that you guys can see the full review and all the scores if you guys want to see it before the next video the next video is the Haswell versus the ivy bridge-e so i'll see you guys in the ring he will
