    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    I just now pre-ordered one from B&H, after checking their return-policy details on their site and with the phone salesman. I never trust the latter, but their Return Policy's section specifies that the exemption on returns applies to displays that 37" or larger: "No Return/Exchange on the...

    X79's Rare ECC Support vs. Z77's Unavailable ECC Support

    Yes, it will "take" Xeons, but will the bios also recognize and "enable" the ECC support available by ECC memory, when coupled? I had thought and still assume that the memory controllers on anything produced by Intel lately had ECC support intentionally disabled, unless it's a Xeon...

    X79's Rare ECC Support vs. Z77's Unavailable ECC Support

    Yeah, the P8C is the only other C216 board I can find. It's reputation is mixed, however, having problems with supported ram and various controller cards, etc...

    X79's Rare ECC Support vs. Z77's Unavailable ECC Support

    Doh. Yeah, I've eyed the X9SAE-V, but apparently it has issues using a 16x GPU card in an 8x (lanes) slot. It won't throttle down to 8x speed and causes compatibility, for some reason, according to Supermicro support: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1698515&page=3

    X79's Rare ECC Support vs. Z77's Unavailable ECC Support

    Anyone have any idea why I can find many recently produced X79 and Z77 boards that will both list Xeon supported CPUs in the their officially support list(s), but while a handful of X79 motherboards seem to have corresponding ECC support listed (assuming an actual E5-XXXX Xeon CPU is present)...

    GA-X79S-UP5-WIFI - Suitable ECC RAM

    I'm curious about this, as well. Kingston's motherboard-memory matcher says both their 16GB and 32GB ECC kits will work: http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search?DeviceType=7&Mfr=GIG&Line=GA-X79S-UP5-WIFI&Model=79195 However, Gigabyte's own memory support list has only a Hynix 4GB ECC...

    ASUS P8C WS? Ivy Xeon ECC workstation mobo

    Wrong. In the "Enterprise", I usually have to choose two out of three things - Stability, Cost or Speed. They are almost always treated in that order of importance, but speed is not marginalized. The benefits of speed have real production value and are often factored into cost and vice-versa...

    Debug LED's: Why don't more mobos have them?

    Could've really used one of these, back in "the day" (1997); I had no idea they were this cheap now. Too bad they still can't clean out the chassis' mouse droppings or 1CM think cake of nicotine yet. Where's that Nanotech damnit, besides on my "stain-free" Dilbert Pants. :confused...

    ABIT IP35-PRO with 8gb of memory.

    Mushkin DDR2-800 (4x 2GB) sticks also work fine on this mobo, although slightly more voltage ~(1.9V) than I would normally care for, to achieve Memtest+/Prime 24-hour stable.

    MSI gtx 470 275$ at newegg!

    Ordered one, last night. Thanks for the heads up! I've been waiting for a threshold like this, ever since the (brief) Dell SNAFU. Bye, bye 8800GTX. Cheers, Glow
