Thanks, I'm considering my options right now. I bought the 6950X together with a Rampage V Edition 10 just about one year ago and it has been doing a great job every day so far. My biggest gripe with Skylake-X are not the CPU's but the X299 platform which like you said offers little to nothing...

Caseking is selling delidded 7900X's now with 24 months warranty: https://www.caseking.de/intel-core-i9-7900x-3-3-ghz-skylake-x-sockel-2066-delidded-tray-cpbu-140.html The price is alright, will order mine there soon.

That sounds promising. I'm going to wait until October though, hopefully Intel will have their new SSD's out as well and I want to wait for a possible ASUS X299-E WS board.

I found this years ago when I was wondering about the hole myself: http://www.compatdb.org/forums/topic/21394-what-is-the-hole-in-the-p4-cpu/

Any chance this happened after an upgrade to a new Windows 10 build? I've read about compatibility problems and possible curruption when trying to access a storage space volume with a different build. Mine contains 8 6TB HDD's and 2 1.2TB SSD's for the SSD tier. They are set up as 2 way mirror...

LTSB 2016 is like that. I paid for a MSDN sub to get access and it's the only version of Windows 10 I'm willing to use.

ReFS is nothing new. It's been around for many years and I started using it in late 2015 together with a Storage Spaces mirror. That's with the Enterprise edition of Windows 10. I don't know if it's locked out of Pro and Home editions. They are meant to work together. ReFS was specifically...

X99 to X299 looks like a small upgrade compared to what X79 to X99 was in late 2014. The RAID key thing is a sick joke really. And then it only works with Intel SSD's.

I'm sure Der8auer/Caseking will sell binned and delidded Skylake-X CPU's for $200-500 on top of the retail prices in the coming months. I'd much rather pay for that before I take the risk and delid a $1000-2000 CPU myself. Caseking also gives 24 months warranty on their delidded CPU's, that's...

I have serious problems with two new workstations I set up based on the ASUS X99-E WS USB 3.1 with Intel Xeon E5 v4 CPUs and I'm really out of ideas whats wrong here. The setup: ASUS X99-E WS USB 3.1, latest BIOS v3201 Intel Xeon E5 2687W v4 Samsung DDR4 regECC 16GB (M393A2K40BB1-CRC) x4 64GB...

So since this is not a Geforce GTX card like its predecessors but just a "Nvidia Titan X" will it use Geforce drivers or Quadro or maybe able to use either like AMD's Radeon Pro Duo can run with both gaming and professional drivers?

Yeah it does. I have a Yulong Sabre DA8II USB DAC/AMP and the DPC latency is killing it. I don't get audio drop outs, the DAC completely stops working after I had a high latency spike until I turn it off and back on. I had to remove my 2 1080's because of this.

If they release a big Pascal consumer card this early whats left for them to use for a 2017/18 refresh until Volta is out? If there will be a new Titan card in August it wont be 50% faster than the GTX1080.

It says not until after the new Quadro lineup launched and that is not going to happen any time soon. I think a Pascal Titan will come more like around March 2017.

Ever since my 2 580's in 2010/11 I had single GPU setups and now I'm back to SLI with 2 GTX1080 FE's for about 4 weeks and everything works great. GTAV, BF4, Crysis 3, Dark Souls 3, Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Mirrors Edge Catalyst, all running well without any problems. The only game...
