    50 post requirement in Hot Deals forum

    In the Hot Deals forum, I wanted to comment in a thread. But I got a msg that I needed 50 posts before I could comment (apparently these posts must take place in some other forum around here - it was not specified). Perhaps the 50 post requirement is some attempt to reduce spamming or abusive...

    Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Ok, I did some quick research on the topic. While the 3 full size x16 PCIe sockets cannibalize each other in terms of the available 16 lanes, the small x1 sized sockets can be run off the PCH chipset. For this reason, it seems like you can have a graphics card using all 16 lanes in the primary...

    Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I didn't realize that. So you are saying for example, if I were to install a card into any of the little x1 PCIe slots on the board, that would cause my graphics card to drop from 16 to 8 lanes?

    Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    In a response on the Gigabyte support site (for the UD4H Marvell 88SE9172 controller), I had read that the Marvell controller could handle either two optical or two data drives, but not a combination. Here is the link: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/faq-page.aspx?fid=2716

    Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Another question. If a x1 PCIe card is installed into the third x16 sized PCI-e slot on the Z87X-UD5H, would that cause the primary first x16 slot to change from 16 to 8 lanes? It is unclear to me reading the documentation, if only a x4 (or larger) sized card placed into the third slot would...

    Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Does anyone know if the Marvell 88SE9230 sata controller on the Z87-UD5H board can handle both an optical drive and a data drive connected at the same time? I read that the Marvell 88SE9172 controller on the UD4H version cannot. Maybe someone here has tried connecting an optical and data drive...

    PCI-E extender cable usage

    Wondering if anyone has used one of these?: http://www.amazon.com/HOTER-PCI-E-Express-Riser-Flexible/dp/B0057M0ABA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top I just built a media/gaming PC using a Micro ATX board. The double-wide video card results in the TV tuner card being close to the video card cooling...

    Agree with your comment about the MicroCenter i3-2100/MSI H61 MB deal. (But I don't have enough comments to post to that thread.) I happen to have gotten in on the deal. On that Friday morning, I found out about the deal, went to the MC web site, and ordered the combo for in-store pickup...
