    ASUS Maximus VI Impact LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I have the Maximus Impact and I'm seeing some peculiar behavior that maybe you guys could shed some light on. It seems that my voltages stick to some particular values like so: My vcore does not get set to whatever I set it to in the Bios, depending on how low or high I go, it jumps from 1.248...

    Same here, only reason I stopped using the platform was because my A7N8X deluxe died :(

    what Fans for my H100?

    Make sure you want to get the High Performance Edition and not the Quiet Edition. RPM is doubled with the HP ones, and thus noise.

    GIGABYTE R9 290X OC and ASUS GTX 780 Ti DCUII Review @ [H]

    Accidentally a word there ;)

    I'm tired of the PC games market. Console at 30FPS, PC at 60FPS.

    It's probably hard to do. I remember running Crysis 1 on a slow core 2 duo and while the FPS was okay, I thought that the physics animations were happening in slow motion. Once I got a quad core, the fps was higher, sure, but the trees I was chopping down were literally falling faster. So I...

    what Fans for my H100?

    I have a 140mm cougar fan that has significan bearing noise when undervolted but when running closer to max rpm it just turns into whooshing air noise. I have the quiet edition of the corsairs undervolted to 7V and they're silent enough that I only have pump noise (and that's very quiet too) on...

    Is there a style of cooling that is better than water but still practical?

    Peltier or Thermoelectric cooling. CoolIT systems used to make some.

    Yet another purchase recommendation thread

    I had a Z87X-UD5H from Gigabyte, and it was great. Loved the BIOS, very sensible (and runs in 1080p) layout, features were great too. No complaints. Then I switched to a mini itx setup so I got a Z87N-Wifi again from Gigabyte, but it was a bit disastrous, it wouldn't sleep, and some features...

    Looking for user feedback on the Asus Maximus Impact mITX board

    I just measured the boot time from button press to the Win 8 logon screen: 14 seconds. edit: I also have, I think, enabled a 1 second delay at post so that I can hit Del to enter the bios, not that it's necessary because there's utility called DirectBios or something that you can click in...

    Looking for user feedback on the Asus Maximus Impact mITX board

    I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Stock cooling for the processor for now, I needed to get up and running quick. 1. It's alright, I haven't installed the Asus drivers (just Windows 8.1 built in drivers) and I get a 216 to 300 megabit connection from my old WNDR 3700 netgear router on 5GHz...

    Motherboard needed for Mini-ITX build.

    I have the Z87N-Wifi from Gigabyte. It's decent, but they don't seem to have their drivers all done up correctly. It works fine, overclocks etc., but there are niggling issues like powered off USB charging for iPhones that's not currently working and I had to manually set up Intel Rapid...
