As you can see, for this test we use the Core i7 870 -- We spot that hyper-threading is enabled .. 8 threads are available to us. Nice. BTW -- if you are wondering why idle power consumption is so low .. check out the screenshot on how the motherboard clocks back the processor when it has very little to do.
Hmmm yup! Core i7 970 (Lynnfield) indeed is Nehalem based, the caches.
We apply standard JEDEC timings 9:9:9:24 T1 at our default baseline tests.
The motherboard reads out the EPP/XMP/JEDEC profiles properly. We have 2x 2048MB installed in this rig.
