    ASUS Z77 Motherboards - Official Support Thread

    Any other Maximus V Gene users out there update to BIOS 1204? I've noticed since the update that my chip no longer steps down at idle when overclocked. I've detailed the steps to verify below as well. Steps taken: Verified speedstep works at complete defaults (F5 reset in BIOS) in Windows...

    VMware esxi training

    Looking at the descriptions the two classes others and myself linked might be a good springboard. I haven't had the pleasure of staring down a full SAN failure/replacement - but reading your comments I'm left wondering what the DR plan is/was. Having one NetApp array and having it die for...

    VMware esxi training

    I took the install/configure/manage class straight from vmware. The content was ok, but it was exactly what it said - basics for installing, configuring and managing. Taking it won't give you a deep understanding of those topics. I don't have experience with these other classes, but they do...

    Rugged/High-Temp Thin Client

    If you can get an add-in card for HDX (don't need one for RemoteFX do you?) might want to look at the Optiplex XE series. At my last position I had to look in to super custom designs to accommodate Railroads that basically wanted PCs outdoors. The XE was on the table until I got to the cold...

    ASUS Z77 Motherboards - Official Support Thread

    Have a weird one for the collective. Built my machine a few weeks ago, no real hitches to speak of. However in the past week or so I've noticed that it won't cold boot without asking me to confirm BIOS settings. Warm boots are fine, no prompt. Strange. It won't save anything, and the time has...

    That's...unfortunate. Welcome to the club I suppose. :(

    Ivy is 77w. Temps are due to a combination of less surface area/increased density and a non-soldered IHS.

    I went ASUS this time around, I'm afraid I won't be much help there :( I'd imagine it is there though. And hey, if I can pay it forward after working through all my issues in this thread, I'll consider that a win.

    Cisco.com downloads

    A few years back I had some old EOL equipment - really, really old stuff. Figured maybe I could be legit and give Cisco some cash instead of less than reputable channels - turns out there is a paradox of equipment not on contract not being able to download images, and equipment too old to be put...

    The rule with Sandy Bridge was that there was next to no benefit reflected in gaming going above 1600MHz. I haven't seen an Ivy Bridge scaling comparison yet. Given the architecture is largely the same though, I'd wager that it probably still holds true. Source: Here. Earlier in the thread...

    About 31-32C idle, just ran IBT and saw 77C on one core. Usually a 10C spread across all cores. IBT must do a number on them, considering I've been playing BF3/Skyrim and I don't think I've even come close to 70C in real world scenarios.

    4.4, it runs fine at 1.2 volts on load, PLL down to 1.5v. Oh, and no LLC.

    Dayum - what are you seeing for a voltage under load at +.110? I think I'm at +.03, voltage under load using IBT is 1.232 - 1.256. EDIT: I'm at .07, load above is right. Thanks for that link, I watched it when I got home tonight. Unfortunately I think the only thing he did differently was...

    That was a late night post. I meant to ask if CoreTemp is equivalent to RealTemp in reporting. I noticed your temps were quite low. What wasn't clear about the rest of the post though?

    No change using internal PPL overvoltage. I can stabilize 4.5 at High LLC and a higher offset, but temps are pretty high for a 100mhz gain. Unfortunate, but it really seems like I've hit a wall at 4.4. Also tried 4.6 - stability was reduced until another voltage bump. Sitting just under 1.3v...
