    open box 6xx cards on amazon

    I don't know if anyone has posted this, but didn't see it. Amazon runs an open box department called Warehouse Deals. They have a pretty good selection of open box nvidia cards. Many times the "like new" cards are just dinged boxes and the product is new. I was able to get a galaxy 680gtx...

    P8Z77-Pro & Windows 7 Sleep problem

    Anyone run into an issue where the motherboard keeps turning back on after putting windows 7 into sleep mode ? I can't figure it out. I dug through bios and didn't see any weird power settings.

    will you be getting Ivy Bridge?

    I ordered the 3570k and P8Z77 pro for $397 shipped overnight w/ tax. I don't think I've ever seen microcenter actually have shipping on their deals before ! I live 2 hours south of the Chicago store, so quite happy to see that. With the $50 mobo savings I couldn't justify going i7. The...

    will you be getting Ivy Bridge?

    If you already have a motherboard that isn't a Z77 chipset I would probably save the money if you have a MC around and get the SB. I think most of the advantages to IB come with a Z77 chipset w/ native support for USB 3.0, PCI-X 3, and DDR 1600.

    will you be getting Ivy Bridge?

    I'm going to a 3570K most likely, upgrading from a QX9650 (don't judge got it used w/ asus striker board for $50). I have an intel 520 and plextor M3 waiting to handle OS/Gaming and a Noctua U12P-SE2 waiting to do the cooling.

    Will 2600K enjoy all the facilities in Z77 Mobo

    No, the USB, PCI-X, and Native DDR3-1600 are all built into ivy bridge on the die. USB 3.0 will still work, but I believe it is not as fast since the controller is on the processor.

    I got an email from newegg an hour or so ago with this link in it, no sights of actual cards for sale like it advertised. http://www.newegg.com/GTX680/?nm_mc=EMCCP-032212-NV&cm_mmc=EMCCP-032212-NV-_-GeForceGTX680-_-content-_-GeForceGTX680

    We're all gonna love Kepler.....but ask yourself this : Do we really NEED Kepler?

    Speak for yourself, I have a 4870x2 that sounds like a jackhammer when it heats up and am tired of cleaning it out and driver issues. It was a good value for $370 3+ years ago, but I'm ready to move on.

    GTX 680 - 1536 CUDA / 190w ?!

    Yes AMD cares...they stopped making good products so consumers don't have to make a choice, life is easy that way.

    Will you buy Ivy Bridge?

    450 GT only works in 1st slot?

    You know when I built my first PC back in '98 I had a similar weird issue. With an ABIT mobo and a Diamond TNT card if I had ram in slot 1 it choked. I sold the card on ebay since it worked in my dad's pc, but right before it shipped I found the problem on usenet and moved the ram and it...
