im really torn between the maximus hero and the z87-ws boards. im going to do some mild overclocking with a closed loop system, nothing hardcore with custom loop(s). the difference in audio isn't that big of a deal for me either. ROG SupremeFX 8-Channel High Definition Audio does look appealing...

i was at microcenter in virginia this past weekend and they didn't have the maximus hero yet. they dont know when they will be coming in either. they did have a bunch of sabertooth's and z87-pro boards

i think ramdisk definitely sounds cool, tho ssd secure erase is a close second

oh man i had no idea CAPs would/could potentially affect single card setups. wish i had known this prior. i've always neglected to install the CAPs because they seemed only geared to crossfire setups.

i've actually had this issue with pretty much every 12.x version. i decided to just disable the feature that turns off my monitor. i just run a screensaver with "display off" and "put the computer to sleep" options set to "never". i just have to physically power off my monitor each time. such a...

i have the same sleep/wake issues with my 7970, hopefully the final 12.6 works and/or the 12.7s.

I've had all 3 C-states disabled for a week or so and everything seems better. It was a brand new OS install a few months ago, but i know i've messed with settings trying to troubleshoot this issue. I can try doing a new os install this weekend and see how things are. if installing a new os...

i've been having this exact same issue as well with a p8z68 deluxe/gen3. i always thought it was my video card, because i couldn't see anything on video, but everything was still powered on. hibernation is completely disabled. i dont even do a full standby, i have a screensaver at 5mins and my...

hey all, i seem to be having this problem too. i recently built a new pc with a sapphire 7970. everything is brand new and a new win7 64bit install. diags and stress tests all pass fine. idle/load temps seem normal as well. my system is not overclocked at all, cpu and gpu are all running...

hey all, i've never worked with crossfire before but im not necessarily a noob at computers. my friend recently gave me a dfi lanparty UT cfx-3200 motherboard and two ati x1950 to crossfire. im using a SATA hd and a brand new corsair GS700 power supply. nothing else isis connected to the...
