    ASUS X99 Motherboard Series - Official Support Thread

    Question 1- I have Asus X99 Deluxe + 5820k + 32GB RAM. In the Bios I went under the tweaking section and selected performance setting with tower cooler etc. That bumped my CPU speed to 4GHZ from 3.3GHZ when under load. If 4GHZ is good enough for me then I don't need to mess with the Asus AI...

    ASUS X99 Motherboard Series - Official Support Thread

    Yes I could. My last two and some other USB ports were not working but after installing the two (Intel and Asmedia) USB drivers they started working. Few times during startup, keyboard and mouse would not work, seems to have auto resolved itself. Did you try resetting stuff? I hope you can sort...

    ASUS X99 Motherboard Series - Official Support Thread

    The usb ports and sata ports seem bit temperamental. I built my new Asus X99 Deluxe system yesterday...no expert but this is my 6th PC build and was the most irritating. I think everything seems to be working ok now. On the latest Bios and hoping for better ones down the road....

    Squeeze more performance from i7 920 system to take me to Hasweel-e.

    Current Situation: I was all ready to move from Win7 i7 920 @ 3.2 GHz Asus P6tDeluxV2 to 4930k but decided to bail on it and wait for Haswell-e 8 core instead. Issues: I am a 3d artist and swapping between multiple open apps with large files is not very snappy. I also re-save large files...

    What is my real overclocked speed 3.8 or 4GHz (i7 920)?

    Ok so I settled on 4.2. Anything that I need to worry about here? My CPU cooler is one of those big ass Noctuas with twin 12cm fans. I might give it a clean when I open my PC next. 78°C max under full rendering load.

    What is my real overclocked speed 3.8 or 4GHz (i7 920)?

    I have been trying to squeeze more life out of my i7 920 CPU and have overclocked it from 3.2 GHz to 4GHz. What I am not understanding is if I successfully overclocked it to 4GHz or not. Cinebench and Everest say 3.8 GHz. Real Temp, CPU-Z and Piriform Speccy say 4GHz. So what is it? Whatever...

    i7 920 to what???? Advice please.

    Ok guys so I have made the decision to go with i7 4930k. Over clock it to 4.3 or whatever is safe. Will pick the parts this/next week. Any reason I should wait till January or so? Intel won't shock me by releasing 8 core desktop version suddenly will they? Can I ask some questions about the...

    i7 920 to what???? Advice please.

    I am 3d artist so while rendering maxing out all cores is very easy :D For the price of that I could get 2-3 i7 4930Ks and set render nodes. Man if money was pouring in I would get 2x Xeon 8 cores CPUs but....... Ok I think you all have given me enough food for thought. Will chew over it...

    i7 920 to what???? Advice please.

    Not in Europe. Unless you mean second hand? All I am finding on local ebay etc equivalent is whole systems with them inside it for upwards of 2-3k. Plus with second hand you don't know what you getting. Local prices for new..... Intel Core i7 4930K BOX, 3.4GHz, LGA 2011, 6C/12T -> 579 Intel...

    i7 920 to what???? Advice please.

    Just to clarify the i7 920 PC will stay as it is. I have another PC case which will get the new hardware ie. new MOBO, new CPU, new RAM, new PSU. The L5639 is bit old no? I mean L5639 Dual CPU setup= 2 x 6 core @ 2.13GHZ = 25.56 GHz vs i7 4930K 1x 6core @ 3.9GHz? = 23.4GHz. So assuming clock...

    i7 920 to what???? Advice please.

    So I have an i7 920 excellent bang for buck over clocked to 3.5 GHz system with 12GB RAM. I am in a field that uses up all available cores 100% without any problem. This system still works ok but I could definitely do with more processing power. I am planning to relegate the system for...

    PC only starts if router in ON (windows 8.1 update related)

    You lot are funny. I am not winding you up. I have better things to do than being an attention whore with some dreamt up problem. I am just busy working and as it is not a major problem nor my main PC so I have given up for now. When I have time and backed up recent stuff then I will just...
