    Me too. Dipping my toe into the IB waters. Exact opposite for me. This was for me since I needed updating. She will probably get this system after IB goes 'tock' and maybe I will get a Gigabyte UPx rev. 2 or 3. By then, it will be perfect for my girl and I will get the new improved. Yes....she...

    Nice! I went with the same RAM but the low profile version for my UD5H. For all interested in the UP5 TH or similar - this is probably going to be one of the best threads to follow since it is dedicated to those boards only and their owners sharing experiences and helping each other...

    Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH

    Brand new and untested - my thoughts exactly. Consider this though...do you really need the Ultra Durable 5 and Thunderbolt on the UP4 TH or the UP5 TH even? That is what is adding the extra $100 to the price tag. Basically, the UP4 for most gamers is a total waste UNLESS you are just a hardcore...

    Recon3D Fatal1ty Pro vs X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional

    Just browse the Creative forums. There is the huge and still unresolved 'disappearing sound card' issue with most of their models. Creative insists it is due to a combination of Windows 7 on an SSD drive BUT others have the same problem do not any SSDs at all...including me when I first had the...

    I actually bought these fans specifically for the H100 and other uses. I do have some running in the case of one of my louder, hotter test servers. These fans are a newer build and better done than the previous mode, which was already very good! They have really excellent build quality and do...

    Yes...lol...obviously I was not talking to you. I was referring to my VORTEX friend (and similar ilk or the spoiled brat teens) which was pretty clear I thought. Of course I know there are those that want the best which is fine. I did not call them out as being bad guys or call them out in...

    ASUS DGX, DSX, & Xonar ROG Phoebus Sound Cards @ [H]

    Just putting on my thanks to Earl for such a terrific article! I am so sick of audio being ignored by reviewers. It is always some lame, 1 page quickie that regurgitates the manufacturers specs and lots of smoke up my U-know-what about how great it might be with out any in-depth testing. So...

    He has not fooled with water but a friend of mine does. That friend loves to tinker and play. I have never done water cooling beyond a closed loop system like the H100. Yes, the Asus MVF has watercooling block over the VRM (VERY NICE!)....completely optional. Unless you plan on doing some...

    My pleasure to help. Personally, I feel audio is embarrassingly ignored or avoided on most hardware review sites. Pisses me off too but I don't think many sites care or have the knowledge. I see big name HW review sites out there and their latest audio HW review is from last year...early last...

    Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH

    True...their webpage does not reveal that! Huge mistake IMO for ASUS! lol Yeah, in the end, I felt the UD5H was better for me. As tempted as I am to go balls out on my wallet, I will wait. My girlfriend will need a new mobo around XMAS/ I can give her my UD5H and get something else if I desire...

    Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH

    Very wrong on both counts. The MVF has a ThunderBolt header on it, you can see it pointed out in their video on YouTube. Also, it is SupremeFX IV. However, all that said, I have decided on going with the GA-Z77X-UD5H!!! lol

    Just for the sake of FYI - http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/07/09/asus_dgx_dsx_xonar_rog_phoebus_sound_cards/1 Excellent article on the 3 newest Xonar cards. I found in enlightening. Obviously, there is always the chance that some new card budget card will come along and blow away the...

    I have been cruising the forums reading as much as possible about the Supreme FX IV audio chip on the Asus MVF. So far, the feedback on the audio has been positive. There are many converts out there, guys that swore by discrete audio and had no confidence to make the switch. Seen some guys even...

    Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH

    I am hitting it just right for upgrading and that is why I am taking my time. #1 - no envelope pushing FPS games for the PC out right now. #2 - Old rig consists of AMD 790 chipset and an OC'd Phenom II 960 with 4 GBs of DDR3 1600 RAM. And since AMD really didn't produce anything worth upgrading...
