What is "funny" is how all these retail 6700k's managed to show up in Europe. People who live there are the ones that have them or say they see them... and you can find listings for them which are almost all from Europe (aka on amazon market or ebay etc). Some don't really have much of a mark...
Well they can ban it.. I don't care to be honest.
I didn't really like it at first but then I got used to it and it certainly isn't any slower than if I toss in my other SSD (same model) with Win 7 on it. However, I will admit it took a long time for me to decide it was ok and there are a...
I haven't played in quite a while... I can see when I was playing how it would be pretty irritating to be new.
Which is likely exactly how I would feel if I tried to play now... and BR isn't really that big of a deal outside of your points. However, when I played I really felt like I...
^^ This pretty much. If you take P95, Linpack etc and leave everything in your bios at defaults (no overclock etc) When you run those at certain points where your temp spikes you will see vcore spikes. I've seen over 1.3v on a stock 4670 for example with vcore on "auto". If you use...
With Windows 8 .. you shouldn't have to install a SATA driver to install the OS.
If you go into the boot section of your BIOS check and see if for your CD (and HD) if its showing them as an option that starts with UEFI.
If so you can try changing them to the option (that should have...
My personal experience is more like a lot of the posts I read on another OC site. I get to a certain point and no amount of voltage manipulation will result in a stable OC. While my thermals are perfectly fine... oh and yes for reference I do use a water loop.
This isn't a case of I...
As others have stated this is pretty normal for Haswell temp wise (with a stress test running).
If you were to run that same program at default (out of the box) settings I bet your temps would be even higher... simply because the (auto) settings would jack your vcore up higher than you...
I purchased two Sapphire 7970's when the card first released. So obviously the cards currently available are a bit different than what I purchased.
Both of these cards are still in my "work box" working away on my projects. They are in use every day, pretty much all day.
So that is...
Older drivers wouldn't change anything regardless.
The reason you'll see this on a board like the P9X79 Pro (which I have in my work box) and not on say an AM3+ board.. is due to a change in the realtek chipset (not the driver). Your previous gigabyte/amd cpu at most used a 889 realtek...
This may not be related, but just in case.
I have sometimes had a similar issue when installing to SSD and it only ever happened when I had my SATA controller set to AHCI.
If I set the controller to IDE then the install would work fine and I would set it to AHCI (in bios) after.
In one of your other posts you said...
"Next I removed the stick in B2 and it started right up. Just to test, I swapped the sticks and as long as there is only 1 stick of memory in A2, it will boot, both sticks appear to work on their own, just not together. "
Specificly "as long as...
I'll *disclaimer* this by saying its just my experience.
You've listed a pretty comprehensive combination you've tried with the ram.
You can get either stick of ram to work on its own on the A channel... so each stick of ram is good.
You can use both sticks of ram in the B channel...
I've never had an issue with any graphics card I purchased. If they were bad I returned/exchanged them. So I can't really comment on anything "ethical" outside of stuff I read on the internet.
I've seen some shady things that revolved around a mobile graphics chip... the problem there...
Well after I read your post I was looking around and saw that EP spent around 300 Million to form a partnership between BioWare and Pandemic (which was called VG Holding Corp).
Then in the aquisition of "VG Holding Corp" it does mention that EP recieved about twice what they invested from...
Late to the party on this thread no doubt.
I most likely want what most want but since this is about what I want I'll list some things anyway.
I'd like to see the move away from following the flashing quest line and back to camps. I really want a game I just play and advance by...
Well any debt that was held would be matter of public record/disclosure. Especially as it would be part of the aquistion and thus be listed (since EA had to disclose all details of the purchase due to being a publicly traded company).
I don't remember any reference to debt pressure on...
Yet the thing to me is that people go on and on about EA. BioWare was a privately owned company. Which means they had no share holders aka no external force on them to "sell". *edit* Nor was there any possible hostile takeover as a privately owned company does not have publicly traded...
There should be a page (likely somewhere under cpu settings) that mention eist and various c states.
*edit* I guess I should add if you want the various power saving states active etc they should be enabled. If they are enabled in bios there is also a place in Windows power settings that...
Well think of it this way. What exactly is going to be your reason for the RMA? Because if they test the card its working fine... Telling them its slightly slower on some benchmark is not a valid reason to RMA a card.
I would imagine if they look at those temps with Real Temp it will display quite a bit higher. Tho I honestly haven't been able to understand why a piece of free software is so much more "accurate", than the software a company marketing to a performance crowd gives their customers.
I know...
Price from my point of view had nothing to do with whether I owned it or not.
I've personally never found it in stock any where to order one. Tho I thought Newegg must have had it up for a bit.. they have never been "in stock" when I was around to order.
If people can never find your...
Well personally I was going to buy one because what I'm doing now works better on my 7970's than my GTX 680.
Then I was just going to make another game box for the 680.. anyway.. I suppose I figured it might be $600 but I'm not willing to pay $700. At that price point I'd rather just...
I've been wondering the same thing and even posted about it in another thread.
They certainly seemed to state that it would be available on the 17th for order... every day I search various e/retailers and the net in general. I even found it odd that there were no articles about the fact...
I know this is a bit off from the "discussion" going on but...
This is from Sapphires little PR statement:
"The SAPPHIRE HD 7970 6GB TOXIC Edition is a limited edition product that will be available to order from SAPPHIRE etailers and retailers from 17th July 2012."
Is there any...
The TPU switch is one of the ways to "auto" overclock on the Asus boards. You'd want to turn that off... My Maximus V Gene with cores on 44 at "auto" voltage runs in the 1.2x range for voltage under load.
*edited to add*
To the above... my 3570 reads something like that when its...
This is just my opinion of course but...
Some of this has to do with ambient temps of where a person is located. For example I live in South Carolina and it has been pretty hot here so far this year. If I go somewhere that is cooler... my temps should drop some.
You also have to...
Well to be honest outside of people running SLI or CF ... many people probably don't play in full screen mode... so they never have to "alt tab" out of a game. Most people that *I* know use vent in the MMO's they play and just like the ease of switching back and forth from windowed mode...
I have an ASRock Extreme 6 and its a great board.
The one thing I'm going to bring up is if you want good fan control from the motherboard, have a fan controller or don't care if the fans are loud?
The reason I ask is that the Asus board is going to give you good case fan control...
I haven't had any issues with my fronst USB connectors on the 550D case.
Did you install all the USB 3 drivers that came with your motherboard? The two Z77 boards I have... have an Intel USB 3.0 controller and one off brand.
If the front panel its self was having issues then it just...
If you want to run the 8 pin out of sight as much as possible... in a case that mounts the PSU in the bottom. Its likely a good idea to just go ahead and order an extension. Usually the 8-pin is close to the top of the board.
That's just my opinion of course.
There are.
So my answer in general to a topic like this.. is if you only play certain games look up the benchmarks. If the games you play favor one card over the other, you have your answer.
If the games you play perform about the same on both brands... then it just comes down to...
Yes... I bought one last month on NE and they were $174.99.
As to the OP as others have said Craigs List, FS forum or open an ebay account. If you are selling on Ebay at a decent price the buyer likely won't care you were a new seller. If you live near population then CL might be...
I'm not sure exactly what the point is you are trying to make there?
Quite a few (maybe even most) monitors are likely made by companies in some part of Asia. As far as I know all of those countries use the metric system... I'm not aware of any requirements by the US that force any of...
The biggest thing that jumps out at me is the variance between Core 0 and Core 1 in the last screenshot I saw (where you had Prime 95 running 1.5 hours).
While Cores 1/2 run hotter on my 3570K the variance from 0/3 is relatively small for me. I have seen a lot of discussion on IB core...
Changes in Xpert wouldn't help with a bios error because Fan Xpert settings aren't applied until it loads (aka after you are on your desktop).
I had this error for the first time on my Maximus V Gene this morning. The only real difference this morning is it was much cooler than it has...
