    RX 480 is apparently killing pcie slots

    My cards been running a whole 2 days and hasn't even caught fire. I suspect this wont be a problem for the vast majority of users, over pci-e usage has been shown in various models over the years and casues little in the way of issues. It was fairly common with AGP too.

    AMD Radeon RX 480 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Novatech have the Powercolor ones in stock at £220 inc VAT. Picked one up this afternoon. If US price is $240 that is not even £10 over the USA price when you factor in VAT.

    AMD Radeon RX 480 Video Card Review @ [H]

    I'm at 1440P and coming from a 7970. Have one card for now but that was my thinking that I could get a second if needed.

    AMD Radeon RX 480 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Just got mine from a local shop. Working fine but I cant seem to find Wattman in the driver (Driver was upgraded from a recent Crimson one). Any idea how to get Wattman?

    Sandra Arthmetic/Multimedia on LGA2011 - Hyperthreading effect?

    Just wanted to let you all know that in this case the issue appears to be Sandra. Linpack performance was fine on the E5-4617s after ISOC was disabled. For the record: Linpack - 278Gflops 3D Mark - 7400 Sandra results remained a but weird. The R based programming routines the system is...

    Supermicro design Q/C

    Good to know. With the Supermicro dual boards we usually fix the low threshold issue with IPMITool so it makes sense that SuperDoctor would handle this when IPMI is not fitted.

    Price of Xeon CPU is not dropping

    On the plus side you will be able to get a "V2" E5-2609 in the next few weeks which will use quite a bit less power and offer 10%+ extra performance for the same price.

    Sandra Arthmetic/Multimedia on LGA2011 - Hyperthreading effect?

    This setup is on its initial install of 64GB RAM (Each CPU is running 8 4GB sticks at 1600) which should be enough for the CPU based benchmarks. RAM performance looks good (72Gbyte/sec). E5-2640 is the same CPU with Hyperthreading enabled but a lower clock speed so I would be interested in...

    Will the ASUS P9X79-E WS be best for Ivy-E

    It is but the CPU only has 32 Lanes available to the Bridge chips so its not quite as good as 64 lanes direct to the CPU. Supposed to be better than x8+x8+x8+x8 though.

    Sandra Arthmetic/Multimedia on LGA2011 - Hyperthreading effect?

    Thanks Tangoseal, Your figures are the other way round to mine, FPU as expected but Integer results far too low. Looks like HT has a heavy effect on the integer score.

    Sandra Arthmetic/Multimedia on LGA2011 - Hyperthreading effect?

    Thanks for the tip Raghar, SP1 hand not properly taken hold. Multimeda float tests are now looking healthier but still below expectations; 456/422Mpix/sec.

    Price of Xeon CPU is not dropping

    I got some E5-4617s from auction for £150. Hex core @ 2.9 so fair bit faster than 2609 (I don't know if your build situation allows for second hand auction purchase).
