Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I didn't even check! The 4790 ran in the low thirties at stock. The 4790k runs in the high twenties at stock. In games 4790 topped out at 50C. The 4790k tops out at 40-45C. My guess is 4970k has better TIM and voltage regulation. Not a ton of difference at stock settings.
I swapped a 4790 for a 4790k today. I noticed a 5C drop in temps. No delid, OC, or any scientific analysis. I'd bet different TIM from my limited experience.
Yes Sir, it was the only 865PE that supported the E6600. It was not sold in the US. I got a couple from AU and a few from UK. Fun board with the X850 XT PE and some DDR PC4800 IIRC.
I stumbled across a bunch of these today. These are refurbs and sell for under $30. USD shipped in the good old USA. 3Btech has them and a lot of other AsRock stuff!
How about a 3 way dogfight? E8600 vs E8700 vs X3380. Since it is a dead platform I'll send the looser to eBay! :p UPDATE: I have three winners, 0 loosers. All are keepers, and all are from eBay! Intel and eBay for the WIN! LGA775 is Alive and well.
Hey, I saw the news at Hexus, and went to AMD Game and found 10.8's were the latest. I then opened Steam and read the news section. I exited Steam and then a couple of minutes later CCC just opened on my desktop. It was only the 10.8 version but its kind of spooky just the same! :eek:
I don't know much about HTPC's (SFF) but an E8XXX series wolfdale E0 CPU is a good cool running CPU that can be overclocked to eliminate a bottleneck, depending on your GPU.
Silverghost, I wonder how many there are. I was watching for a seller since Jan 2009. Rumors Rumors, April fools Jokes, and thats about all. I was surfing eBay for QX9650's the first of October 2009. I don't want to go there, but while searching, I decided to search the sellers other items. I...
