The socket 2011 is their professional line. It's designed for professional high threaded program use. It supports Xeon CPU's. You can drop in any Xeon CPU in the 2011 socket. Most boards will also support ECC ram as well making it a complete professional option. If anything it is an enthusiast...
Physically there is no change. They've only changed how the 2011 pins are utilised by the chipset. They're calling it 2011-3 but because the pins have a totally new configuration it may eventually be called 2013. Only Haswell-E and newer CPU's can be used in the socket. I'm sure they will even...
The video I'm talking about is on one of these pages.

I have asked him for that information but he just doesn't have the time to spare right now. My 4 kids have created a company building small 3D games and he is very busy working on the artwork right now. He created a few videos on his work and one has a discussion during it where he describes...
The computer I have now is the first time I went all out on a build just for the H*LL of it. I want to see what the best really is in performance with every test that I can throw at it. It is my coup des gras of computers just because I want to experience it. I have been using Cav/Blk drives for...
Whoa!! I think I struck a few nerves here. Yes I am biased on certain things but they come from personal experiences over many years. I try to build the best system not the cheapest one for the best cost. PassMark is a source for many comparisons. If I look at CPU's in PassMark and then click...
How long have you had it? The latest is the Antec 302 which incoporates 2 USB3 ports. If I look at the case you now have there are no USB3 ports on the front or top panel. If that is a feature you are looking for you might be able to buy a front 5-1/4 bay mesh finish connector for it. Put it...
The PSU is what I consider cheap but the person buying it wanted a cheaper PSU to bring the price down. He wanted a video capture card so I assumed that he would be both recording and editing videos. That is why I put in a discrete video card rather than using the onboard version. He will have...
Those are just my drives and I am not including any I've used in other builds. If I include them as well then it must be closer to 200 HDD's and I haven't ever heard from someone complaining from a failed one yet.
What I do know is that WD puts the exact date of when the drive was built on the...
I have over 15 of them in 2 different computers and I've only had 1 failure in the last 10 years. I had the replacement in 2 days and used the exact same packaging to return the failed one. That was around 8 years ago. I've never seen one fail since then. I would rather pay an extra ~20 for the...
>Asus P8Z77-V LK Socket 1155 Intel Z77 Chipset
This board comes with a fairly good video card onboard so you don't need to buy a video card for the time being. It is also a full ATX board. Mini's usually have 2 ram slots instead of 4
>G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL9...
Then why does Seagate only offer a 2 year warranty on all their products while Western Digital Black series offer a 5 Year Warranty. They offer cross shipping and you get the replacement within 2 days. I don't see that kind of commitment from Seagate and I personally know of many more people...
There are items in your build that I wouldn't touch for love nor money. Seagate drives suck and are unreliable. WD Blacks all the way
ASRock is still a rather new entity and have yet to prove themselves to me. I have the X79 E11 M/B and there are still quite a few glitches in it. The XMP would...
FYI Sata3 6Gb/s will be replaced within 2 years with ? I don't remember the correct name of it but part of the arguments were about dealing with HDCP requirements. the difference is that Sata3 throughput maxs out at 768MB/s while the new fiber optic based interface will be able to achieve...
I just built a system for my brother-in-law which is a minimal build. I always invest the most money on the M/B. It gives you upgradablilty. I bought a P8Z77-V Asus M/B and bought the lowest speed i5 that was available. Here is the build list and the total. This thing starts up in seconds. Count...
I've just looked at the specs of your board R1.0 and it seems that your Sata ports are Sata2 3Gb/s which means that you can buy a cheaper Sata2 SSD or get the Sata3 version so that you can use it in a future build. Beleive me when I say 4x faster. I won't build anyone a new system without one...
That very true but my system is worth $11,000.00 and his came in @ $2200.00. When I look at it in this context then I think what he has will be much better than anything I could buy with an Intel system in the same price range.
If all your looking for is snappier/faster then all you need to do is buy a 128GB SSD and install everything you already have onto it. You must have Sata ports and not IDE ports. It will increase the speed by 4x on a Sata2 port and up to 8x on a Sata3 port. If your computer has room for more...
My youngest son is a graphics illustrator and he needs all the ram he can get. I built him a AMD FX-8350 system that is actually better for doing multiple renders at the same time. You can dedicate specific cores to do each render. He creates 3D games and does all the artwork for it. He also...
Well the truth is that I did run at 4.9 But my CPU temps were in the low 80's and I don't like running it at those temps. I got it running at 4.875 with more manageable temps but under Prime 95 It down-clocked due to Mosfet temps. I did have it manually set to 10v and I should have set it lower...
Just translated this and it seems like a misplaced ad:
Russian fishing - a game played by millions. This unique simulator of fishing on the computer got tremendous popularity thanks to the amazing similarity of gameplay with real fishing. The game captures, prompting the player the same...
Well I'm quite surprised. I thought you knew so much more. I looked at your 3D mark 11 score and I was actually quite disappointed with it. We both have the same CPU and I gather you are using the RIVE M/B as I was when doing this Benchmark. You have 2 AMD 7970's while I have 2 EVGA GTX680...
I was referring to the ASRock X79 Extreme 11 not the Z77 but either way ASRock offers much more included in the motherboard than any other motherboard manufacturer has to offer. So far the board is a very good platform with all the added features that mainstream boards just don't have...
I went looking for an Intel motherboard with all the functionality of an AMD system. I looked at optional Raid cards and found them to be quite expensive when you want one that gives you Raid-5 functionality. I finally found the board of my dreams... The ASRock Extreme 11. It had it all and I...
I have built over 50 new systems and fixed 100's of others over the years. My first was using a 486-25 CPU. It is the fourth generation of processor ever built. The first was known as the 086 which was short for 8086. The second was the 286 then the 386 etc,.. That goes way back to the stone...
The only quirk that I have found is that the board won't support Dimm's above 2133. I have 2 different 64GB sets of GSkill ram @ 2400 but neither will run above 2133. One other thing you should make note of is that on the LSI ports you go all SAS or all Sata on all 8 ports but you can't run both...
From what I understand he did get his parcel and the ranting should be over now. Too bad about your dog. They don't live as long as we do so we all lose them over time
It must have been an older post that i was reading then. I was trying to compare the 840 with the 840Pro and found an article about it. That is what I based my reply on
It's a good article and does go into enough detail to realize that you don't have to worry about lifespan. You don't do a lot of read writes to make a dent on lifespan. What I was referring to earlier was regarding the nand controllers. Not the nand storage chips. I read an article that explains...
Are you asking about my Avatar? My son is a Graphics illustrator and he did the artwork that I am using as my Avatar. I can get all sorts of his artwork and re-size it to fit. This one was smaller and needed less work to re-size and centre
Your probably right but you paid today's prices for it so you want to get as much value as possible. In 5 years you could probably get a drive 5 times the size for the same price as you paid for this one. If you buy upgrades regularly or replace the whole system after a few years. Then it won't...
I build custom systems for people and buy from all sorts of businesses. Amazon has the best shipping across all of North America. They process over 1 million orders per day from each of their main facilities. NewEgg isn't in the same class. I have ordered items that get lost in shipping and it...
OK then somewhere along the line you have decided to keep all the drives individual and not create a single drive of them all shown as 1 drive. I must have missed something along the way in our conversation. Your original post that I replied to was asking about a JBOD system which is a Raid...
I have roughly 385GB on my new system right now and I ran a complete system backup and saved it on a hot-swap drive using Acronis software. The backup image is 247GB so that means that it is not a 50% reduction of size. The actual image is 64% of the actual file size. Video files are even less...
That's true but do you want to take a chance and lose it all in a single drive failure. Raid1 is a total waste because it is a direct mirror image and will cost you 50% of drive space. So if you have 10TB in Raid1 you will only get 5TB usable. Raid5 was the best alternative but now Raid6 expands...
