Flash isn't the most ideal platform for video content as it can be quite CPU intensive. The 980x on the Sapphire Pure Black X58 is a stunning performer, with only 13 percent CPU time being taken on average.

What a fantasic product, any ideas of a price?
I wonder who the maker is. Foxconn? Still, hell of a release from Sapphire, certainly put them on the map in 2011, but I wonder if it will sell well due to the new socket which gives mega performance for a fraction of the price
Nice board design not much to fault, apart from the medicore bundle. When is it released? I could never get the sapphire power supplies here, so ill be curious to see availabity.
Class name too, instead of DU-23723 V12 like you see with many makers, we need catchy, memorable names. Sapphire always do this, ‘toxic. etc.
This kind of setup is way out of my price range, ill be aiming for 2500k in a few months.
really nice review, mega testing. gotta love the noctua NH D14!
any chance I could get that system mailed over to me? ill cover postage.
Good board layout and cant see much wrong with it. Id like a CMOS button on the back of the board though for easy pressing if needed.
Hey zardon, I know you love the noctua NH D14, but how far would this CPU go on the mobo with something a little less expensive? im curious
I wonder how often they will update the bioses on these boards. I doubt they make them, so im guessing the bios update situation might be a ‘second’ priority for the motherboard originator
Where did this come from? I never read any announcements about it. Hell of a good OC on air there guys. will be curious to see the pricing.
way 2 go sapphire, but why not an AMD board !
‘why no amd board?’
They probably know that an intel board like this will sell much better than an AMD product. its a high end enthusiast product and unfortunately AMD cant compete. probably why dirk meyer is collecting an early pension. I hope it changes.
oh yeah, great review Z.
Well I am rather impressed with this product. Have you any ideas on the availability date yet >?
Most excellent. great overclocking results. I cant get my 980 past 4.1ghz on my asus board.
Noctua NH D14 FTW. great review!
I’ve had enough of apple and all their difficulties. It’s one scandal right after another with their products. No more will I fall into apples marketing propaganda which is all hype. Don’t believe the paid bloggers on here who defend or deny the many countless problems of apple products.
