I say go for it. If it goes up in smoke you can always buy another one.

 

[Arachnotronic]

Hehe, I wish I could convince myself of that, AdamK47!

I don't think it will go up in smoke... But my dreams will...

Diogenes2, my motherboard correctly displayed the ctrl-i intel raid interface during POST.
This is both fortunate (for me..) and fantastically odd.

 

[Diogenes2]

Thanks for getting back... I'm certainly glad it worked for you..

Looks like I had a bad board, or I screwed up ..

I hope to be rejoining the fray later in the week with the Asrock board..

Finally getting in on the party. Did the build last night, hopefully after work today the tweaking can begin:

3930k
P9X79 DELUXE
16GB Vengeance DDR3-1600 (4x4)
2x 6870 (carry over from old x58 machine until 7xxx series hits)
Corsair H100
Corsair Carbide 500R

Can't wait to see what I can get of her.

So I think I got my workflow organized. I use a ramdisk to host the current project files I'm working on. on Vertex raid takes 1 minute to open a project with about 150 clips on premiere, takes 5 seconds on RAM Drive, and it takes like 3 minutes on a regular drive.

I got my RAM Disk to save and load on shutdown and start, and there's an auto backup option every x minutes.

Hi Chainspell, which ramdisk are you using?

Uhm i think it's the site where you get it for free if you buy their over priced memory sticks...

Gigabyte Recalling Three Motherboards Over Smoking Issue X79

 

[Qianglong]

I finally finished setting up my Sandy Bridge E system and couldn't be happier! Although the first ASUS mobo is defective and had to swap it out with another hope! Hope the system will give me good service for the coming months!

After problems with my Asus board, I now have the Asrock Xtreme9 .
Not a lot of time to play with it right now, but I am really impressed with the features on this board; looking forward to seeing how it performs.

Who you talking to? Who cares if i don't own it? And who cares if i do? Wtf is this? Do i have to post credible verifiable 100% proof? Cuz you're gonna have to fucking come into everyone's house. Fucking retard think a few steps forward before you talk. What the fuck does it matter?

Two problems here dude. No cussing in the tech forums, and no insulting other members. This gets you an infraction.

How many people are getting the 3820 with plans to go IVB-E in a year and a half?

I'm now a proud owner of a 3960X. At stock, this system performs equally to my 980X running at 4.5GHz using the distributed.net client.

haha yeah now I really have to go and buy a system now just to prove to him that I own one... god damnit...

now everybody knows and will be looking down upon me as a peasant

but who cares I know what I have and I'm not like him. I don't care at all. What do you get anyway if you prove you have it? some reputation points of some kind?

and what do people get who don't own it? some ridicule of some kind? that's what offended me the most. people who think they are so much better than other people because they have this and that or they were able to achieve this and that. HUMILITY MUCH??



I gave you an infraction above, but to re-iterate, no cussing in the tech forums. Continued abuse will get you a vacation.

RAMDisk

What's your ramdisk? I expected better numbers from the SB-E platform.

Here's what my ramdisk (superspeed) nets me on the much slower (less bandwidth regardless the DDR3 speed) SandyBridge platform:

Whatever, you people can get a bit twitchy. Take long deep breaths, count to 10 slowly, think of butterflies and petunias, etc.

I think i was running at 1600 at the time.

I actually uninstalled it now. I think i paid 10 bucks for the plus version.

Im back to tried and true setup. When i was rendering with after effects and premiere, the system would eventually use all 24gb of memory (plus 8gb on ram disk) at that point after effects would use the memory to access the project files AND process the rendering.

So sure... It's faster when i was loading projects, but when it came time to rendering it would hit a bottleneck and it would slow down really bad.

If i had 64gb memory i would probably still put my project files on a ram disk.

Sorry about that. I will control my language more.
