    ASUS North America - ASUS Z170 Motherboards Q&A Thread

    I already did of course. According to diagram there doesn't seem to be a conflict but manual says m.2 and sata express are exclusive. It isn't clear if it is so in m.2 sata mode or m.2 pcie mode or both. I'm only interested in the individual 2 sata ports from the sata express connector, not the...

    ASUS North America - ASUS Z170 Motherboards Q&A Thread

    Can you use m.2 pcie mode + 6 sata devices at the same time on Z170-A ?

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

    How can you get those ridiculous sata speeds on the Marvell controller? Unless i misread a WD Caviar black hdd was used in testing. It's just not possible. 500mb/s is high even for burst speed for hdds. More likely Marvell uses driver cache mode, i have an older 9128/9130 controller and it has...

    Future CPU predictions

    I believe you meant tick. Tock is the "big" jump (new architecture), tick is the die shrink. Not that it matters, i subscribe to the same predictions.

    For those who bought Haswell. Was it what you expected?

    Yes, 4.5 gets my vote too.

    New Build for Work and Gaming: 3930K vs. 4770K

    You can't know for sure how future proof are these platforms. Intel is changing them too often and it's a waste to always invest if you're not benefiting. Might as well do so now and maximize the potential of your great mb.

    New Build for Work and Gaming: 3930K vs. 4770K

    Why not get 3770k and keep the motherboard?

    Which HW monitors support Haswell?

    Looks like you got lucky then with that cpu, both great temps and power consumption!

    Which HW monitors support Haswell?

    How many threads in Prime95? Can't see in the pic, should be 8 to fully load the cpu. Also 63W cpu package power suggests cpu is not taxed to the max, you may be using an old Prime95 version without avx support

    Which HW monitors support Haswell?

    AIDA v3.00 should fully support Haswell. Note that temp in bios is higher than in Windows because idle states are not active, so this is normal. Load temp is a bit suspicious though but not impossible if you're running stock speed and got lucky with a good cpu.

    Sandy Bridge = Legendary?

    Smaller die, crappy tim or too much space between the die and ihs, etc. Whatever the reason, (i never stated one so i'm not sure exactly what you find untrue in what i said) Haswell DOES work at a higher temperature in load than SB and IB. It also consumes more power in load than IB and about...

    Sandy Bridge = Legendary?

    Now that Haswell is out and considering it brings only 15% over SB, runs even hotter than IB and overclocks poorly i'd say Sandy Bridge is definitely legendary. The heydays of overclocking may never return... At the time i picked my current 2500k over 2600k because it offered better...

    Inuiry for Z68, Z77 and X79 motherboards owner/users do you use SSD Caching?

    So Asus rep doesn't know the difference between RST and SRT? RST = Intel Rapid Storage Technology SRT = Smart Response Technology = SSD Caching No wonder they don't update RST RAID OROM on P67, they think it's SSD Caching which is not supported on P67 anyway.

    How to stop bloody LED from blinking on sdant by!?

    I stopped using case leds a long time ago. What's the use? Bright and/or blinking leds are annoying. I connect only power switch pin from the case.

    Intellipark: Disable, or delay?

    Definitely use wdidle3. I wouldn't disable the idle timer though, 300 seconds is more than enough to prevent high LCC count. I use it on all my WD greens (EADS, EARS, EARX) with no problems, LCC is under 10k in over 2 years of utilization.
