Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I purchased a P67 board when they came out in January, so there's no real need to upgrade to Z68. I've been very happy with for the most part.
I know computers evolve quickly and technologies change, but the P67->Z68 transition seemed a bit quick in this case. I know it'll make me watch a bit...
FYI, Newegg has the 800B back in stock. Of course, I got the auto-notify right after I had ordered if from another company I found on the web. Oh well...
Thanks for the write up! I've been looking for a good case for a i3-2100T build, and didn't like what I had seen at all from Antec.
Now, to try and find a Habey!
If it's something you're going to obsess over, I'd say just get the 2600K and be done with it. And then stop reading CPU reviews for awhile, as something is going to come out which is faster than the 2600K.
Personally, I went with the 2500k based on the price difference. The extra $100 or...
There were at least 9 of the Pros at the Cambridge MC. I only know this because I was up at 5 am changing my baby's diaper, and I checked the website on a whim. They even had a bunch of the deluxes in as well.
When I went there around 3 to pick mine up, I saw all of the Pros on the "18...
A bunch of us were trying to get CrashFree Bios 3 working after the 1305 bios bricking, and never made any progress. The only instructions I was able to find were those in the manual, which didn't do anything. There was also a video describing it on YouTube, but I haven't heard of anyone...
Starting to lean the Asus route as well. Micro Center in Cambridge still hasn't received any boards that I know of. When their site showed one in stock this morning, I bought it right away, and then got a cancellation email a couple hours later.
I figured it was going to be easier with a...
Yeah, it's tempting to get a refund on the board, and wait until Z68 is out in May. Even though it's supposed to be better at overclocking, it can't be *that* much better... can it?
Kudos to your hard work, Gipsy.
I still think we need a more workable solution from ASUS, however. Ordering a second bios chip and hotswapping it is awesome, but way too much to ask from your regular consumer. Most people on the [H] are quite savvy, but having to spend $20+ to repair a...
Given that most of this happened over the weekend, I'd give Asus the benefit of the doubt for now.
At this point, I'd be happy if we were given an idea of what to expect. If there's some way we can salvage the board, I'd happily sit tight for a little bit. If there's nothing they can do for...
Interesting - my P8P67 Pro is bricked, and I shut it down before it posted. This seems to be a common trend.
As someone else suggested, I wonder if there was something the board was trying to do at the next post, and shutting down the system before then interfered with that.
