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.
Actually there is no need for PCIe 3.0 for this product yet. You are correct that it is using PCIe 2.0, but it's x8, so it is using 8 lanes. Each lane is 500MB/s, which means 4,000 MB/s is available for a PCIe 2.0 x8 connection.
I have a X-650 from a couple years ago. love it and it work's great. I'm going to upgrade to Haswell, i5-4670k, and I am wondering if the older version of the X-650 is compatible with new Haswell power states? Anything I should know about?
Thank you for the awesome review.
I went to look at the fans you were talking about and noticed that they have the 840 Pro 256GB for $209. I just ordered that drive from Amazon a few hours ago. I never think to check this place.
Dang! I was thinking to get the UD4H, but I picked up the ASUS Z87-PRO + 4670k when Newegg had the first MB+CPU sale. I haven't set up my build yet either. Hmmm
I was having a hard time chossing between the ASUS and the GIGA. I've been very happy with Gigabyte in the past, but decided to try ASUS this time. I'm kinda wishing I would have stuck with Gigabyte.
I am running same CPU as you, clocked the same. I have a HD 6870 now, but just got a Tahiti LE 7870 a few weeks ago and I haven't installed it yet. My reasoning for going with this upgrade is exactly what you stated. Intel singled thread performance is great for games and I see Intel coasting...
