    Nvidia Previewed Unreleased Graphics Card At "Secret" Meeting

    Dual 980 or 980Ti cores(GTX 990) on single PCB. Probably spoil AMD Fury X2 plans. I'm guessing $999 or $1,300 depending on cores used.

    ASUS X99 Motherboard Series - Official Support Thread

    Testing my X99 Deluxe right now. Right now typing this they're at 44C in my 800D aircooled. I purchased the EK-X99 block as I've planned on using it regardless as it's actually easier for me to integrate it into my current loop rather than leave them stock cooled.

    What is wrong with my loop? (Pics inside!)

    Looks like oxidization of the copper to me. Happens to copper after awhile due the the oxygen from coolant flow, I believe this is why they started nickel plating in the first place. You should be able to clean with either ketchup or citric acid/water solution.

    WC'ing 2 970s with Heatkiller Multi-Link...a few questions.

    Hi all. I'm hoping to be converting my 970s to watercooling soon, and have a few quick questions with the Muli-link. I'm gonna be using Heatkiller 970 blocks along with the Multi-Link adapter. However, I've never installed one of these adapters and there doesn't seem to be instructions on...

    X99 Deluxe...safe to use with original version AX1200i PSU?

    Got a new EK-X99 VRM waterblock so i'll be looking at the mosfets anyways :) So you have the 1200i original as well? I can't find a 1000i, I figured you meant the 1200.

    X99 Deluxe...safe to use with original version AX1200i PSU?

    Hi all. Just trying to get some help here. I posted this somewhere else too without much luck. I've been working on my X99 build for the past few weeks before integrating into my water loop. I've been using my Seasonic SS-860XP2 "tester" PSU for testing the new parts, OC'ing, and making sure...

    Just ordered Asus X99 on Newegg!!

    Haha, nice :D I also went with the 5820K this time around vs the 5930K that I originally planned. I do like having a dual gpu setup, but prefer it on a single card vs 2 physical cards so I really don't need the extra PCI-E lanes. Also thinking about adding a RevoDrive 350 or one of those...

    Just ordered Asus X99 on Newegg!!

    Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, been clicking the refresh button all morning and it just popped up a few minutes ago. I went with X99-Deluxe @ $398.99. I was looking at the Rampage V, but besides being $500, to me it has a bunch of extra features I would probably never use(OC Panel...

    3 Displays....possible to only have 2 cloned??

    Hi all. Got a question that I'm hoping someone might be able help with. I might be assembling a Kaveri rig for someone. They want to stick with windows 7. They want 2 monitors hooked up plus a TV. The thing is they only want the secondary monitor and the TV to be cloned, leaving the...

    Possible upgrade for an A4-5300 cpu....

    Thanks again for the quick replies. I was thinking the 750ti would be a good choice to if they want to stretch to $150 plus not needing a power connector. Seems to be a good price/performance card. Surely the Powerman can run this low TDP card I would hope. For the other question, the...

    Possible upgrade for an A4-5300 cpu....

    Hi all. I might be adding a videocard to a "Cybertron PC" for someone(actually their son) and could use some input. It has an AMD A4-5300(3.4Ghz dual-core), 8GB ram and a newer 1TB HDD. It's only a few months old, and it's used for a fair amount of gaming that I can see from the steam...

    Trying to fix HP DC7100...odd freezing/video corruption.

    Hi all. Just wanted to post a quick update. After some more fiddling with the DC7100, I might have finally got it working correctly. For whatever reason, just switching the 2 ram sticks to different slots seems to have solved the problem :rolleyes: It has 4 dimm slots labeled XMM1, 2,3, and...

    SLI 670's Artifacting.. Is it the Mobo?

    Seems like it's only happening when using DVI-D on the monitor, but seems fine with your TV or monitor using HDMI but limited to 60hz. You mentioned it happens with both cards and different DVI ports on the cards themselves. Do you have an old monitor or possibly borrow one with DVI-D input...

    Trying to fix HP DC7100...odd freezing/video corruption.

    Thanks for all the help offers guys. It's awesome to see people on here so willing to help other enthusiasts out. I'm gonna check running one stick at a time next week when I'm working with the HP again. If that doesn't pan out, I'm bringing one of my old HDDs out of retirement to see if it...
