If this isn’t thread-worthy I stand corrected, just seemed like a great price and the forum seems slow about now so thought this the best way to get the information out to others. This Dominator GT 8GB 2x4GB 1.5v 2133Mhz kit came out last year at $499.99, got it from Amazon for $119.99...

Tomorrow is the official Ivy Bridge release day, but some lucky enthusiasts in Canada and Japan are taking their shiny new CPUs home today and thermal information is beginning to appear in various threads. Please let us know your first impressions of the processor, cooling you are using, and...

Just found this article, I hope this is the good news we have been waiting for. At this point I'll take any good news. Hoping retail will be much different than ES engineering samples. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164858

Looks like more waiting for the M5E to be announced and available so I might as well make some improvements. The cables were looking pretty shabby, cleaned them up a little, Asus has not yet announced the ROG Maximus 5 Extreme yet. The Maximus 5 Gene is out, the Maximus 5 Formula will be out in...

I was dead set on a 3770K/Z77. Upgrading from a C2D E8500, should I go 2700K/Z77 instead? I use my rig mostly for office apps while working, and an occasional game, no real need to overclock past 4.0. At stock speeds are the thermals less or about the same as SB? What to do? ...I have my...

Vapor-Hot News! Corsair has announced a new line of cases as part of their Vengeance gaming line-up. Who cares about age, I want the green one!:D Loving that power button, flip-up doomsday reset, and the extra-large signature grommets! Enjoy the links below...

Woke up at 6am, searched Google shopping “Intel 3820” and found 5 sellers, none that I would care to deal with, but all had availability listed as 2/21/12 a week from now, ho hum. Searched Newegg, nada, searched Amazon Hurrah! There it was available just like Intel said it would be...

If this article turns out the be AMDs true roadmap for the rest of 2012 and all of 2013, it is just terrible news for all of us. Without any reasonably healthy competition from AMD, Intel will have no incentive to produce the Ivy-Es or the Haswells and Haswell-Es in a timely manner during 2013...

Now this should pump some interest back into the LGA-2011 platform, for those like me who are still sitting on the fench. http://www.techpowerup.com/159900/10-core-Ivy-Bridge-EP-Sample-Tested.html Just look at those stats on CPUz. 10cores 20threads, 30MB of cache! A 10-core Ivy-E...

This article from xbitlabs: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i7-3820.html Man Oh Man, I was so hoping for this chip for so long and to drop it into the beautiful Rampage 4 Extreme with the Quad Channel memory spaced symmetrically on either side of that oversized processor and...

On boot up after the Intel screen flashes I get a long string of very unusual keyboard characters with a line at the end flashing, it won't go away unless you hit enter. Then it proceeds and boots fine. Reinstalled the bios... Running virus scan now... These characters are not even ON...

Wanting to get into a new mainboard, CPU, and memory in April. Concerned with too much heat output in Sandy Bridge E platform using Rampage 4 and Quad Core Intel 3820@130wattsTDP. Is Ivy Bridge Mainstream a better choice with the Maximus 4 or 5 and Quad Core Intel 3770@77wattsTDP? Both CPUs are...

Does anyone know how Asus handled the transition of the Rampage 2 or 3 boards when USB 3.0 became available? Did they just change the SKU add USB 3.0 and keep making the same board? Just wondering how and when they will add Thunderbolt to the Rampage 4? Will it be the same board or a...

When configuring Corsair Vengance in a Quad Channel set up, what would run cooler on either side of the CPU? a single 4GB stick or 2X2GB sticks?? Which would draw the most wattage? or produce more or less heat at idle and at load? Thank you, all help very appreciated!;) Bruce

Under the same load conditions would the 1000w Seasonic Platinum produce more heat than the 860w or would they both produce the same amount of heat? Considering getting the 1000w since the fan will not come on until it reaches 30% of load or 300watts, verses 260watts for the 860w. Not really...

I am dying to get a new Rampage 4 Extreme Mobo, but will Asus add Thunderbolt I/O connectivity to the board in April like they are going to on the new Ivy Bridge 1155 boards? It would be a shame if the LGA2011 crowd did not have 10Gb/s and the LGA1155 crowd did. Maybe they will release a...

Don’t both these keyboards have the same Cherry Blue mechanical keys, tactile feel and clackity sound? If so I would much rather have the Razer with the backlighting and programmable keys. On Amazon today the price difference in only $8.00. If anyone has an experience to share or knows of any...

In Catalyst Control Center does fan speed % in “Auto Mode” indicate Heat-Sink fan efficiency? Or do other factors contribute? My Asus HD6870DirectCU fan runs 15% in auto mode at idle and running simple office apps, even less than the lowest manual setting of 20%. I had an Asus...

Had a very informative thread here, I guess the administers didn't think it valuable to anyone and axed it. Anyway, I and others are excited about the new Intel X79 chipset SandyBridge E motherboards that will be announced this Monday May 30th, from the Computex Trade Show in Taipei. I will...

Can't seem to find any specs on the auditory output of the pump used on the H60, anyone know? Thank you!!!

Both of these boards should be awesome, just not sure which one to buy when they come out in Aug/Sept??? Not sure if the Quad Channel memory will be one module per channel or 4 memory ports OR 2 modules per channel, 8 ports. Eight memory slots that's going to be a wide board!!! Any suggestions...

Have had lots of trouble with my Asus 6870Direct CU! Had a bad mobo in for RMA to Intel so could not check it and return it to Newegg within 30days, installed newest drivers AMD 11.3 flashed the bios, not overclocking, downloaded and installed all latest Windows 7 64bit updates! 1) Upon boot...
