Actually there is no need for PCIe 3.0 for this product yet. You are correct that it is using PCIe 2.0, but it's x8, so it is using 8 lanes. Each lane is 500MB/s, which means 4,000 MB/s is available for a PCIe 2.0 x8 connection.
I have a X-650 from a couple years ago. love it and it work's great. I'm going to upgrade to Haswell, i5-4670k, and I am wondering if the older version of the X-650 is compatible with new Haswell power states? Anything I should know about?
Thank you for the awesome review.
I went to look at the fans you were talking about and noticed that they have the 840 Pro 256GB for $209. I just ordered that drive from Amazon a few hours ago. I never think to check this place.
Dang! I was thinking to get the UD4H, but I picked up the ASUS Z87-PRO + 4670k when Newegg had the first MB+CPU sale. I haven't set up my build yet either. Hmmm
I was having a hard time chossing between the ASUS and the GIGA. I've been very happy with Gigabyte in the past, but decided to try ASUS this time. I'm kinda wishing I would have stuck with Gigabyte.
I am running same CPU as you, clocked the same. I have a HD 6870 now, but just got a Tahiti LE 7870 a few weeks ago and I haven't installed it yet. My reasoning for going with this upgrade is exactly what you stated. Intel singled thread performance is great for games and I see Intel coasting...
I have been an AMD buyer since K6. I just ordered the ASUS w/ 4670k. It's just too good of a deal to pass up. I was considering sticking with AMD and picking up 8320/8350, but this will be mostly my gaming rig. Intel just has too big of a lead when it comes to gaming. This is my first ASUS...

ATI and ESET NOD32 for $21. How's NOD32?
Ya well Sprint irks me too! No 4G in Milwaukee although we pay an extra $10 per month for it. Every Sprint customer pays the $10 fee i believe, whether they have 4G or not. :mad:
I am also very interested in benchz with stock CPU/GPU/RAM and OC CPU/GPU/RAM, using just the APU ofcourse, no TITAN. Then OC CPU with the TITAN to see how it does at feeding that beast!
So, are you saying that this card only works with a motherboard that has UEFI BIOS? I picked up a MYST Edition, but have yet to install it in my Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H.
Any one have this board and use ECC?
Looking at the memory QVL for Asus 990FX Pro 2 I see no ECC memory. I wounder if that ECC is a typo.
If any on has used ECC on this board, please list model used.
Thanks!
I've been on the fence about buying the Dell U2412M. I have the hardest time choosing a monitor, especially online. I don't know how good of a gaming monitor this is. If Amazon had it at this price I would probably pick it up. Anyone help me make up my mind? I need to get a new one soon, at...
An H60? Does the block line up with the original HSF holes or did you need an aftermarket kit? And what about memory and the rest of the components on the PCB?
I used PWCHD7850 and it cam to $208.something shipped. Has anyone upgraded the cooler on the MYST edition? I haven't received mine yet, but I am thinking about upgrading the cooler on it since I am not a fan of heat or noise.
I missed out last time, so thanks for the heads up. This is a sweet deal!
I really wanted the Sapphire 7870 XT with the dual fans. but the PowerColor is just to good of a deal to pass up.
What do you find so bad about Steam? I only have Steam right now mainly because of what you mentioned, what game where and having to find it.
I am 99% OK with the way Valve is doing DRM. The only part I have issue with is if I buy a game at full price I should be able to sell it or do...
Amazon has the HP 27xi for $269. I know it is only 1080p so no need to complain. Has any one seen this screen compared to the Planar px2710mw? I had that screen for a while and it's a good screen. I'm wondering if this one is at least that good or better. I don't use my monitors for professional...
I heard that this way Dell can attempt things that shareholders would not allow. Public company means that you need to justify your actions to the almighty shareholder, whereas now they can do whatever they feel like. (legally)
