    Ivy Bridge or wait for Haswell

    Just curious, what caused you to upgrade from SB to IB? I can't think of too many use cases that would justify upgrading on every tick-tock cycle Intel releases.

    Ivy Bridge or wait for Haswell

    Don't worry so much about Black Friday if you are in Canada. Yes, NCIX, Memory Express, Canada Computers will have Black Friday sales but they will not be as insane as what they get in the states. Haswell is far away still, and motherboards are always more expensive during launch month (the...

    News on Ivy Bridge-E?

    Saw this the other day, going to laugh if it comes true (only 6C/12T for desktop enthusiast IB-E CPUs). Predicting large levels of nerd rage if so.

    News on Ivy Bridge-E?

    Only problem with that is you have a short upgrade path with IB-E. Except in corner cases, for desktop use you would most likely be better served (and save a lot of money/power) with Haswell which is not that far off now. Q6600 was legendary price/performance I agree, I had a Q6700 up until IB...

    News on Ivy Bridge-E?

    Yep, agree on that. Glad I went IB on release day. People were trying to convince me to get a 3820 since IB-E "would be out soon" and provide an upgrade path. Right.

    News on Ivy Bridge-E?

    Has anything been leaked/rumoured lately? Have been busy and not paying attention to hardware news. I remember people on this forum claiming it would be out by Q4 2012, but the last I heard (August 2012) was Q3 2013?

    Ivy Bridge Lowered Expectations Club

    Haven't read the whole thread, but my results since launch day: 3770K Asus P8Z77-V Pro (latest BIOS) Noctua NH-D14 with stock fans in a Corsair 550D with stock fans + 1 PWM intake CPU = 4.5GHz via offset using all turbo/power saving options (all 4 cores turbo to 45 x 100) CPU voltage peaks at...

    Restrict bandwidth on a wireless VLAN - possible with DD-WRT? Linksys 310N

    Bump... anyone? From talking to a friend who works in IT, his suggestion is buy a separate physical WAP (DD-WRT compatible) for the VLAN as it would be a lot easier to just restrict bandwidth on a physical interface level, makes sense I guess. I'm thinking of buying a TP-Link TL-WR740N (single...

    How to add eSATA to a motherboard?

    Bracket is the cheaper way to go, but you can also buy a PCI-e eSATA card (1 or 2 ports) for about $25 if you look around. Would require installing another set of SATA drivers, but will be guaranteed to support hot swap and port multiplication (multiple drives in one eSATA enclosure/cable).

    Restrict bandwidth on a wireless VLAN - possible with DD-WRT? Linksys 310N

    Hey guys, I recently setup a wireless VLAN for guests at our place using DD-WRT v24 preSP2 (Build13064) on a Linksys 310N gigabit/wifi-N router. I have the VLAN setup to be fully segregated on it's own subnet with no access to my LAN, but provide internet access, and it is working well...

    [VR-Zone] Intel Core i7 3770K@4.6GHz vs AMD FX-8150@4.6GHz

    Just wanted to highlight this as no one addressed it. Mind blowing. Who are the FX chips meant for? They seem to be marketed to gamers/"extreme" home users. This is a sad state of affairs.

    AMD Trinity 17W's CPU and GPU performance tested (vs Ivy Bridge)

    is 25W feasible in an ultrabook chasis? This Sleekbook isn't an UB anyway though, 4.75lbs and thicker, so why not use a 25W TDP APU, must be cost concerns I guess. Good value at $600 I guess.

    IDC: Only 500K Ultrabooks Sold So Far

    My wife used to have a massive ugly Dell Inspiron, weighed 6.7lbs or something ridiculous and had horrible build quality. Bought her a new 13" Air w/ 8GB DDR3 and a 256GB SSD the week they came out. Amazing machine on all fronts, it's fast for what she needs (browsing, Office, iTunes, light...

    **OFFICIAL** AT Battlefield 3 FAQ and News Thread

    One player camping vehicles with C4 in spawn is not base raping, it is effectively reducing the enemy's ability to fight back and a completely (and awesome tactic). I think tactics like this are hilarious and ad to the fun of the game. It's like playing a spy in TF2 on payload maps and jacking...

    Gaming CPU

    That is a stock 7850 (which is sipping power). What does a heavily OC'd/overvolted 7850 pull at load? I'm not saying it's a bad card, the Sapphire/MSI 7850/7870 heavily OC'd are great value and a good choice in their price bands today since Nvidia is taking forever to launch the 660/660Ti...

    (i7 3770k) So lost... need help changing my overclock from 4.5GHZ to 4.3GHZ/4.2GHZ

    I'd contact the retailer and let them know you are not satisfied, and ask how they performed the OC, you can dial it back in TurboV Evo or the BIOS, depending how they set it up.

    Need advice on Asus P8Z77-V issues

    I've been using HWiNFO64, it's free and displays a lot of info and has .csv logging ability as well. I use the Ai Suite tools, mostly for Fan Xpert 2 (disabled Network Ai though as it was causing problems in Chrome), but I do not use the Asus monitoring module actively. The Lucid software...

    Is there a knack to accessing the BIOS?

    I hear you on the maniacal laughter, hilarious but not good :). When you boot up, are the LEDs on your keyboard lit up? Could be it is not getting power in time to register you pressing delete?

    Slow page loads in Chrome - but IE9/FF12 are fine on same PC?

    If anyone comes across this, I seem to have found the solution. I disabled Asus network iControl module from the Ai Suite software module. No idea what it was doing, maybe giving Chrome a lower priority versus FireFox/IE? Anyway, everything is snappy in Chrome now, including YouTube.

    Need advice on Asus P8Z77-V issues

    Fastest POSTing 1155 Motherboard (Z77)

    Haven't read the thread but wanted to share, my Asus P8Z77-V Pro is about 15 seconds time power button to Windows login. Breakdown is 9s post 6s Windows logo (might be reverse need to check). I have a custom JPEG for my BIOS splash if it matters (Asus lets you do that now, pretty cool since...

    Lucky Americans

    The real shame about the higher prices is that it means less access to computers and the internet for people without money in a developing country, where it could help them advance.

    Intel i7 3770K vs 3770T

    Isn't it likely that a given 3770T will have lower VIDs are various frequencies than a given 3770K? I thought Intel would bin the CPUs that way to stay within the lower TDP envelops. It's not just the turbo speeds that would be different. With a 3770K you'd have to play around with testing...

    Asus P8Z77-V PRO Throttling GTX 670 Performance?

    Something is definitely wrong, I have the same motherboard and GPU, and do get 9100-9200ish in 3DMark11 with factory settings on the video card. Sorry, nothing is coming to mind with what could be wrong. You have verified that both the CPU and GPU are running at full speed during the benchmark...

    Just bought a 3570k/ z77 extreme 4, it came bundled with dissapointment.

    This. I went from a Q6700 @ 3.3GHz to my current setup. I had an MSI 560Ti in the 3770K machine for 2 weeks before the GTX 670 came out. Even with the 560, the difference in BF3 64 player MP was HUGE (and I play a lot). Minimum frame rate was significantly higher and the overall experience...

    Ivy bridge too hot at idle?

    My 3770K idles around 29-30c on all cores (ambient air temp 23ish). Only did a quick 5min LinX test and hit around 70c on stock with Asus' ratio boost (all 4 cores turbo to 3.8 I believe). Ran the Asus OC tool in Windows (extreme mode) and it settled on 4.5GHz (45 x 100) with voltage 1.275v but...

    q6600 - still viable for gaming? or is it time to upgrade?

    I posted earlier in this thread, and actually upgraded last week to the system in my sig. It has been a massive improvement in performance. Games wise, BF3 and The Witcher 2 it is night and day (some of that is the video card, 560Ti to 670) but even running BF3 with the 560Ti on the 3770K was...

    Asus Z77 Fan Xpert 2 questions

    Thanks for the info Alex. Apparently the boards below the Pro/Deluxe/Sabertooth level only have Fan Xpert+ and not Fan Xpert 2, so the config might be slightly different. A user over at overclock.net says his Sabertooth Z77 can control 3-wire fans via voltage...

    Ivy Bridge 3570K Testing, Opinions, Results, New Bios, 4.5Ghz At 1.236v

    Rollercoaster ride of a thread haha. Well, at the very least this has tempered the insane expectations people were having of 3770K's at 5.5-6GHz with H100's (yes, people actually posted that nonsense a few months ago). If I can hit 4.5GHz on a 3770K/P8Z77-V Pro or UD5H not far off stock volts...

    Is it worth waiting for Ivy bridge?

    May as well wait and see some official reviews before you decide. NDA lifts either this Sunday or next depending which rumours you believe.

    Corsair 550D in stock at NewEgg!

    Thanks for the info and pics. Are you using the stock fans in their stock config (2 intake 1 out)? I picked up my 550D yesterday, but am waiting on mobo/CPU/GPU in a few weeks when IB comes out. Played with the case a bit yesterday and it's really nice, excited to use it and it's a huge step in...

    Do you hate modular power supplies?

    Modular for sure. Once you start going up to 650+ watt units with 4+ PCI-e connectors and/or dual CPUAUX, you have a ton of extra cables to tuck away on a non-modular unit.

    MSI GTX 680 TWIN FROZR - First look and hands on testing

    Thanks for the review. I'm willing to pay the premium, very happy with my MSI 560Ti OC Twin Frozr II, stays cool and quiet even at load and doesn't clog with dust (easy to clean). That is easily worth $40-45 to me (~8-9% price premium) on a top end card for me. Just gotta wait for it to be in...
