    EVGA GTX 560 2GB Benchmarks - any out yet?

    OK, this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130657 Or this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130683 Looking at bumping up my son's rig for his birthday. He will no doubt be limited by his LGA 775 CPU (E8500 Wolfdale). That's next (Christmas)...

    P8P67 Pro - I'm done, time for a new Mobo

    I know, the CPU is pretty solid. It is just hard when I look at the big picture and compare the reviews of the 1155 CPU & P67/Z68 combinations up against the AMD CPUs & board combinations. I've looked at the Z68 boards to go with the CPU I have and there isn't an overwhelming level of...

    P8P67 Pro - I'm done, time for a new Mobo

    "What's wrong with them?" This thread, in this forum, is 238 pages long: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1578865 This thing is on BIOS revision number eleventy-seven, OK, maybe something like a dozen, in less than a year. It has given people nothing but grief since day one. The...

    P8P67 Pro - I'm done, time for a new Mobo

    Yes, I reformatted the HDD and reinstalled the OS 4 days ago. Since then I've had crashes every time I try to play. The first time was a solid thunk & buzzing with a total freeze. The second time was a BSOD. Number 3, last night, was just a restart all by itself. I'm with you on wondering...

    P8P67 Pro - I'm done, time for a new Mobo

    I've had it with this POS. I've been patient. ASUS, you've really blown it with this board. I've waited for the fixes, I've accepted that sleep "just ain't right", I've traded for the fixed board, I've updated the BIOS upwards of a half dozen times. IT STILL AIN'T RIGHT!!! Every night...

    ASUS P8P67 Pro Query

    I think this is it: http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=444831 Note: Was posted in 2007 Otherwise Google something like "Switch XP to AHCI", lots of hits. The big problem I saw with it is that a lot of the hits show where a person got the whole process to work with their specific...

    ASUS P8P67 Pro Query

    What we're both (I think) saying is that we haven't found a way to get XP to load in anything other than "IDE" or "Compatible" instead of "AHCI" or "Enhanced" for the SATA configuration in the BIOS. Whether it was loaded first or not. I have tried the slipstream, USB & FDD methods (without...

    I got my LianLi PC-A05B ! it's Small!

    I don't have super specific numbers with the before and after temps because I only ran the rig for a little bit before switching to the blowhole top. I did have the original top and had cut a blowhole but boogered it up a bit when my Dremel circle cutter wandered a teeny bit. The diameter...

    ASUS P8P67 Pro Query

    Tried the same thing. Did the slipstream insertion of SATA drivers, bought a USB FDD & tried the F6 driver insert during the start of the install. The floppy wasn't recognized, there's supposedly a list of 5 specific FDDs that will be recognized by a "virgin" install of XP, but I couldn't find...

    What's a good CPU Fan for P8P67?

    "Undisputed"? With all due respect... Noctua, despite the butt-ugly colors ;), is no doubt one of the best. It is on the short list of what I considered for my rig. It is definitely not the "undisputed" best cooler on the market though - Google search "Best CPU Cooler" and see for yourself...

    I got my LianLi PC-A05B ! it's Small!

    Needed to upgrade from a Q-Pack - wanted a teeny bit more room (especially for the GPU) but still wanted to stay on the small size. Definitely wanted an understated case, don't need the lights, bells & whistles. I think I got everything I wanted, it is actually roomier than I anticipated. I...

    What's a good CPU Fan for P8P67?

    Correct, it doesn't even go over the RAM sockets. As I mentioned, I don't have heat spreaders or RipJaws, just Patriot Gamer 2 Series. I attached some pics to try to show the clearance. The 135mm fan stays very quiet and my CPU temps stay very low. Don't let the way it looks (size-wise)...
