Honestly have not read the entire thread so excuse me for jumping in the middle. I just put together (like completed 2 hours ago) a system for my wife with that same MOBO (X99m Extreme4) and a E5-2630v4 ES that runs all cores at 23x. Think that modded bios you have would work for me or is it...
Nope, not built yet. Saw the CPU listed and grabbed it. Next on the shopping list is an x99 Mitx MOBO, M.2 SSD(probably 512gb Samsung 950 Pro.. i love mine) and a stack of DDR4. My wife is in publishing, I'm not sure exactly what software they are using. I know some of the scripts they run in...
Nice to see AMD offering up some serious competition again but the X99 platform still has some legs. I just picked up a ES Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 $150... cna't beat that yet. ;p
At this price you will probably be able to sell it for close to what you paid.... which will still most likely be not near enough for a good Broadwell-E at launch. /rolleyes
Yup, they charge when you pick it up and you can apply the code in store. Nice way to ensure they don't have a sudden case of "OOS" by the time you get there.
It is in store only. What I did was order online, when I went in and picked it up I had them apply the promo code. I paid $277 for mine 3 weeks ago.. should go back and get my dorrar.. ;p
The mobo is the MSI X99A Raider, I picked up one of each today and ordered 16GB of Gskill DDR4 from the egg. I was going to hold out for BF deals on a 6700k... but at this price I could not resist.
Really My bad, I should have read more first. A few review sites mistook the wifi expansion slots as mSATA as well. Think I can probably still use it, just get a cheapo SATA controller and drop it in the PCIE slot. I was not planning on putting a video card in there anyway. Thanks for the...
I got one of these the last time around, for $30ish after MIR (which I received). I was planning on using it for light duty as a HTPC. Ordered a 240GB mSATA drive last week for it as the board only has 2 SATA ports. Figured the mSATA for OS, one SATA 3TB drive for storage and one SATA Blue ray...
I bit a few days ago. I have a new Coolermaster box sitting in the garage that needed a MITX mobo. Not even sure what I'm going to use it for yet. Prolly experiment with it as a media center. If that does not pan out my 4 year old gets his first PC to play flash games on. ;)
I see absolutely no reason to upgrade from my P67 board. It already supports the newer CPU's and I'm not seeing anything horribly attractive in the z68 or z77 boards that would compel me as a gamer to jump off my current platform.
Now if Intel had got their act together and got more than 2...
^^^ What they said. I just replaced my H70 in favor of a custom loop that included a GPU block. Anyway.. the H70 idle temps on my i5-2500k were in the 30's and full load at 4.6Ghz saw temps in the 60~70c range.
^^^ Yup.. that stock HSF is crap. Spend $20 and get a Hyper 212+ at the very least. Your CPU will thank you for it. My temps usually between 30~40c at idle and just under 70c full load with H70 and much slower and quieter fans than the ones that ship with it stock. System specs in siggy.
I installed them last night. No stability issues but I got some water texture flickering in BFBC2 that I had not gotten with the 11.3. Went back to the 11.3 and it's gone. My2c.
Funny. I was at that same store a few days ago and the guy was pitching the same extended warranty "u zap it/you own it" pheer mongering over the re-badged 80GB A-Data/Intel/34nm/trim SSD I was purchasing. I looked at him and asked.. are you serious?
Let us know how you do with that CPU. I...
OCZ rebates are a crap shoot just like any other. On this particular dealeo the "one rebate per household" is the deal breaker. While you can get an OS in that space.. there is so little left over the cost becomes less of an issue. It's only a 30Gb drive and most people will probably want at...
Those factors did come into play. The GTX 275 does deliver good frames mildly OC'd with good quality settings. I have a 25.5" ASUS so it's 1920x1200. I had to consider spending another $200 for either:
A SLI setup that is not DX11 compliant. Whose value is going to drop appreciably when Fremi...
I ordered one yesterday to replace my GTX 275. I was also waiting to see if Fermi prices would effect the 5xxx series much as I read AMD could go as low as $300 with the 58xx line and still turn a buck.. but I just do not see it happening. $379 is a good price IMHO. Even if the price drops $40...
True about the shipping, but I'll have to pay shipping to send it and break even. IMHO it's not an OK lga775 board, it's one of the better ones. I'm not gonna argue about MSI and rebates.. we all know it's a crapshoot. No rebate hassles buying from me... promise. :)
If this post is inappropriate or the OP objects LMK and I'll happily delete it. But I figured folks in here might be interested. If anyone wants one of these and does not wanna deal with rebates shoot me a PM. I've upgraded and will let my very lightly used MOBO I got in this deal go for...
They gave me the same line of BS on one of the rebates I sent in. I shot them email telling them I do not want a "re-submission" as I sent the required documents on time already. I told them I have copies as I scan to PDF everything before it goes into the envelope... especially the original UPC...
My rebate got confirmed and my check arrived today. MSI is as d*ckish about rebates as any other company. They are looking for ANY reason to deny a rebate. I just had 2 other rebates denied from MSI. I had purchased a combo deal from Fry's.. 2 of them. They responded only one per household and...
Sale pending on the Q9550 already. If the deal falls thru and you have already sent a PM I'll be going down the line in order of PM's received.
Thx all

Not sure if this is against forum rules or not.. if so just LMK and I'll delete the post. But if anyone wants one slightly used retail Q9550 shoot me a PM. I'm selling the one in my siggy that I purchased at MC just a few months ago. It's an E0 stepping and I've been running it at 3.65Ghz stock...
I run my Q9550 at 3.65Ghz stock vcore in the rig in my siggy. I do some light video encoding to make family DVD's and some rippin & encoding. The Q9550 runs through it just fine with all 4 cores going at it. Other than that I game on it and I've yet to run across a game that is CPU limited by...
Eh.. they usually only have a very limited supply of the MOBO's they advertise with these teaser combo's anyway. Gotta nearly be there when the doors open to get them. I just happened to do that for this deal today. :) There were exactly 2 motherboards on the shelf and they were not identified...
I replaced my E6850 @ 3.6 with the Q9550 simply because I was able to Ebay the E6850 for a darn good portion of what the Q9550 cost me. The upgrade cost me about $85 out of pocket. Well worth the price of admission IMHO. That said, unless you have an uncontrollable desire to upgrade I'd wait for...
For those not looking to upgrade an entire system the Q9550 is a great CPU at that price. Every Q9550 at my local MC was an E0 stepping. Mine runs easily at 3.65Ghz on air without so much as a vcore bump. Perhaps not quite as fast as an equally clocked i5 or i7.. but it's no pig either. :)
Rats are jumping ship almost faster than it can be reported. I'll simply post up some screen shots. You don't need a PHD or "peer review" to figure out where the books are getting cooked. It's as blatant as ever.
NASA seems to have undergone some "change"...
The Science is Scuttled ...
Heh is right. You expect me to take that particular source with their mission statement at face value?
Howabout you find a link to the actual study they supposedly gleaned this information from and we can go from there?
Aside from that. Bush was not pushing for the GSE's to take on more...
Actually, they past US some years ago. And judging by the # of coal fired power plants (not the "clean coal" either) they are building they could give a hoot about MMGW.
China overtakes US as world's biggest CO2 emitter
I'll simply take your evasiveness as you really have no response. Generally if posters think someone is employing a strawman they simply point it out. The best you seem to be able to muster in response to a coherent line of questions is /facepalm x2 and a strawman accusation you do not bother to...
