    Will a X79 board run 2133 RAM successfully?

    I run my 16gb of ripjaws at 2400 on my R4E but they are rated for 2400. I am certain they will go higher too because I'm only using 1.6v instead of the default 1.65v.

    Blast From the Past: Intel QX6700 - Which Most Ideal New Motherboard?

    I have a QX6700 mounted on an Abit Max3 mobo down in the basement. That rig served me well until I finally decided to upgrade a few weeks ago. If I were in a mindset to build around that chip today and were in need of a mobo, I'd actually look for an EVGA mobo.

    IB mobo & RAM suggestions?

    I'm running x79 w/quad channel memory. If I were to fire up several VM's, I'd imagine I'd realize a significant performance jump vs. dual or triple channel.

    How do I remove/stop an LED on the motherboard?

    Electrical tape. Much less permanent.

    IB mobo & RAM suggestions?

    According to AIDA64, my 16gb CAS11 ram running at 2400 is the fastest of all the systems, in every RAM benchmark I run. Granted, my CPU is at 4.6G. I see a significant perfomance hit by running at CAS9 and 1600. This is on my RIVE with 3930.

    upgrade i7 930 to sandy or ivy worth it?

    You can always stall an upgrade, and also. something new is always just around the corner. My 775 rig, I built around that beast heat-monger Qx chip was still going strong. I have kept in the game with GPU upgrades over the years and really, could have lasted another year with that rig...

    ASUS Official X79 Motherboards Support Thread

    On my Rampage Extreme 4, the cpu temp displayed by AU Suite II is always 7-10c lower than Core Temp, Real Temp and Aida64. I can run them all at the same time or individually and the result is the same. Which should I trust? Sorry in advance if this has already been answered but I did try...

    ASUS RAMPAGE IV EXTREME – Overclock increases post time?

    I use S3 sleep so the long post times don't bother me as much. OP, I'd be careful with those built-in profiles. They set voltages up much higher than you probably need. One of them, and I can't remember which, allows vcore to exceed 1.6v when stressing. I was able to exceed that OC using...

    Has anyone bought the Performance Tuning Protection Plan?

    upgrade i7 930 to sandy or ivy worth it?

    Not sure how relevent, but I just upgraded from QX6700 system to an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme with 3930 and am totally stoked. I also got two M4 SSD's, one for OS and one for my games. The upgrade was like jumping into the future! Still haven't found my sweet spot - running 4.6Ghz @ 1.32...

    This is what AG coating does to LCDs (magnified)

    LOL, cardboarded windows? My home office has two windows and I sometimes actually have to squint in the early AM when the sun is rising. The windows are to the left of my monitor but if this were a glossy screen, the only thing I would be able to see would be the shine off my forehead.

    U3011 shows up really red in photos.

    Looks like you have the camera set to the wrong light setting for this. Thing is, I don't know which setting is right either, especially ambient light in the room is a factor, so I would just try a different one. Or maybe play with the exposure settings some too?

    Would you go from a 28 inch to a 23 inch?

    I really wasn't trying to start a war. I guess because of some recent upgrades I've made (going from a 24" 1920x1200 to a 30" 2560x1600), some games required me to play at less than my default res. I have since replaced my GTX 280 with 2 GTX580's so that I can play my favorite titles at max...

    Would you go from a 28 inch to a 23 inch?

    Like I said, the OP never said what res he was running his monitor at.
