    Asus P8P67 PCI Simple Communications Controller missing driver

    Thnx! Worked for me. Not sure I should be using another boards drivers... though it looks generic anyway.

    Asus P8P67 PCI Simple Communications Controller missing driver

    Bought an Asus P8P67 Pro, Intel 2600k CPU, all working great (though the idle of 40-45c on the stock cooler has me concerned), except ONE driver is missing... What is the Simple Communications Controller? I tried looking it up and it seems related to network drivers, modem, or something...

    Sandy Bridge Reviews Released!

    I chose the Asus P8P67 Pro... just seemed to have enough for SLI/Crossfire and everything else under the sun. Gigabyte UD4 was a close second, but didn't have as many options. Anything more was overkill... could even do without the Pro, but I heard SLI/Crossfire support was better in the Pro.

    Sandy Bridge Reviews Released!

    Couple of days ago I got that Newegg special for 2x4GB(8GB) DDR3 1333mhz CAS9 1.5v for just $65 w/fs. Couldn't pass that up, so I'll settle with pretty standard stuff for now and see how much mileage I get out of it. To note, Sandy Bridge runs on 1333mhz standard, so I recommend at the very...

    Sandy Bridge Reviews Released!

    All the reviews above and what I've garnered from them suggest overclocking is a snap, and that super high memory speeds, tight timings, super coolers, etc., aren't quite as necessary this time. I haven't seen anything in terms of a serious mention on memory, though that's just what I've been...

    Sandy Bridge Reviews Released!

    I was rushing to consider which cooler I may purchase, but now I'm seeing that even with modest overclocking, it's not necessary beyond the stock cooler: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/sandy-bridge-core-i7-2600k-core-i5-2500k,2833-9.html There were a few other references mentioning...

    Hmm, qood question... do mATX typically skimp in overclocking potential, stability, or other areas that would deter from buying them beyond the listed feature-set?

    Unless I'm seeing their list wrong, they don't offer a mATX P :(: http://gigabyte.com/products/list.aspx?s=42&jid=1&p=2&v=24. Looks like Asus does though: http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=iT2FJPCMOGBHClu4&templete=2

    Just a quick side tangeant... which mobo manufacturers would you recommend for a paired mobo with these CPUs? I've had problems with some lately... so I'm cautious. I think it's important to pair the CPU with a good MOBO, naturally. Right now I see new offerings from Gigabyte and Asus. I am...

    Sandy Bridge Reviews Released!

    Very sweet indeed. Bonus that apparently we can use good old CAS 9 1333mhz memory and performance isn't hindered... reviews are suggesting no new major memory requirements from any current Core i builds, even for overclocking.
