I'm running the z170 deluxe and have the gskill ripjaws v 3000mhz running at their rated xmp profile. using 0701 bios if that helps. also, if you are having sli problems, NVidia's newest drivers just fixed this problem! Thanks NVidia!

cool, right on man, had no idea! thanks will look into it. I put together my 6700/asus deluxe/gskill3000mhz build yesterday and so far so good. I haven't checked out this sli issue yet as im having numerous problems upgrading to 10 from windows 7. ugh. thanks though Ill check out this hotfix!

Congrats ! Me too man , stoked. I called them on the phone and did a RMA for my Asus z170 deluxe motherboard and went ahead and purchased the 6700/170 Deluxe combo. 10 bucks combo discount too.

oh, just in terms that they ran 6700/z170/sli with stable frame rates. I'm planning the same config as fellow builders so if there is a potential problem, I hope asus fixes it soon.

Agree man. Well said. I have all this stuff just sitting around not knowing if its DOA or not. Hopefully not. ;) I might put a pre-order in at BLT. Looks like they have chips coming in around 8/28...

saw this article tested with sli/z170 deluxe. seems like they got good results with no problems. I hope asus listens and updates the bios ASAP for people upgrading. I have all the z170 parts, just waiting for the chip...

Yeah, I think I'm debating the same thing (2x8) between these two. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231878 http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-lpx-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-dram-3200mhz-c16-memory-kit-black-cmk16gx4m2b3200c16 never bought gskill before...are these both...

oh wow, good deal Dion! Good thing you snagged them! So you got these for a skylake build as well? ah no worries man! I saw another member purchased those sticks as well, didn't realize how pricey they were though! Shiiiiitttt,! Good info though thanks buddy, I'll definitely look into...

lol right on man. Ok might have figured. Cool, yeah I was looking at something like this, without that fancy fan, but it was around $270. Is there another one that's around $450? Or is this one complete crap...

That's a nice chip but I haven't upgraded in like 7-8 years haha. :( Coming from a i7950/x58. Still runs pretty good but had the itch to jump to skylake. But as for ram you think that is overkill? Thanks man!

Awesome, thanks for the heads up man! I just ordered the Asus 170 Deluxe from Newegg and looking to get this 6700. Anyone have recommendations for ram and a cooler? Was thinking about 16Gb DDR4 corsair 3200. I was checking out this one...

through amazon? yeah im in the same boat with newegg store credit or nothing. I tried getting a partial refund but wouldn't go for it. Wow, the partial refund people are getting through amazon is great, their customer service sounds excellent dealing with this issue. I wish Newegg would offer...

Right on man, yeah wow, you're running super high, that's 4k right? Yeah it sucks, but might be better in the long run like the previous poster said. I'm learning towards sticking with what I have now, keeping them in good condition and selling them down the road. I mean as it is now, for the...

copy that, thanks.

Thanks man, really appreciate the post and advice! For the most part the cards seem to do well. In most games I can't really run any type of AA or it gets fairly choppy. In Dying Light, there is some hitching when panning the camera, but for the most part its very smooth. FC4 runs very...

Thanks guys. Sucks, these golden cards look so badass too. They seem to perform well in some games, but others like dying light and sections of fc4 stutter, but not sure if its the game itself or the vrm. Well, think I'm gonna pick up two evga SC 980s, hopefully will last for a couple years.

hey guys, wondering if you could help me decide on this... I purchased a Msi golden 970 in November and another one a few weeks ago for SLI. I just found out about this memory problem. Newegg has offered to take both cards back for store credit. Do you think I should do it and get a single...

hey guys, I just snagged one of these from tiger direct last night. They had a square trade warranty for 100 bucks I think... Based on all the problems this monitor is having, is it worth it to buy it?

oh right on, its inafune's new kickstarter game. its blown up big. http://kotaku.com/guess-you-guys-really-wanted-a-new-mega-man-game-huh-1242018001

just got this today, its pretty great! played the original back in the day. are they doing a blood remake?

I played both, 4 is ridiculous. both are great.

I wonder if bf4 will be 4k ready

The new video looks rad, I might back this with mighty no 9

it will work with half life 3!

The sp is very robust, online is a continuation of that.

ssd secure erase! sweet!

Thank you. Much appreciated. I've never dealt with pixel issues...been trying to find the time to research. Heh, I'm color blind, so I'm not sure what color the pixel is, it looks blueish to me but doesnt appear on every color, like black. sucks that you have to fax, hopefully u can switch...

thanks for the update...i purchased mine from shopblt as well. what is the difference b/w a dead and stuck pixel? its probably easier to go through HP than shopblt because of the onsite warranty correct? i tried looking but couldnt find the hp chat support...can you post link? thx.

have you tried that how to fix stuck pixel site? i tried a couple of those apps but to no avail...i'm sure HP would replace right?

This monitor is great, but I have one dead pixel. Will HP replace it onsite?

well thanks guys. i picked up an evga 280 ftw from dell. com. pretty good deal, after i sell my 8800gts, the new card comes to around 320 or so with rebate. figure i can step up if needed too. thanks again!!!!

yeah, the 4870 looks really impressive especially at that price point. how are the drivers/compatibility compared to nvidia? i wonder if my e6600 is gonna bottleneck these cards though...

Thanks for all your intelligent input folks!! Crysis is pretty much the reason I'm gonna upgrade, so the 280 looks good so far. The ATI options are pretty great as well, such a good time for all this competition. Hope the prices drop even further. Any time frame on when these will be refreshed?

Hey guys, thank you all for your excellent feedback. Thx for also clearing up SLI. The 280 is looking good. Been reading a lot of reviews here and some other sites. The ATI solutions look excellent too and it's great that there is healthy competition out there! I'm selling previous card...

Hey guys, Been out of the loop for a while, doing tons of research now trying to figure out what is the best for my system. What do you guys think is the top dawg right now? I'm thinking either 280, 260(sli) or 4870? I dont even think i can run SLI right, just crossfire? My games run great...

i have xfi music and z5500. i think its great.

i have no popping or static on my xfi and z5500 setup at all. crystal clear and my xfi sounds really DAMN good. did you try reseating the card or using a different pci slot? how is your PSU? did you update your drivers on the creative web site? i'm running amd 64 3200 on nforce3 ultra...

thx matt for reply. i'll keep my eye on those dell deals. i have a $50 coupon i can use.

hi i'm using that same monitor as well, the p1100. its a great monitor but i was looking at getting the 2405fpw. i was worried about backlighting and ghosting. you really like your lcd better?

nah games sound great. music sounds awful in cmss
