    GIGABYTE X399 Aorus Xtreme TR4 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I got this board larley based on this review, however I seem to be having a worst case issue. The computer (semi) powers down for no apparent reason, except the MB rgb stays on and the case power button light stays on. Furthermore I am unable to wake it with the power or reset button...

    New Build Help Wanted AMD vs Intel Selection (Please)

    What he said! ;-P Again its all a bit of overkill, even though moving up to evo 970 m2's will be a big boost over my sata ssds. Again this is mostly about board features and the fact I dont think Im getting some of the current critical hardware updates due to age of chipset/proc. So while we do...

    New Build Help Wanted AMD vs Intel Selection (Please)

    Thanks for the reply, Ill definitely look into your links. Maybe I should have mentioned, only if I start going much north of 2k will I be worried on price/shooting the moon, I may tip toe if I go with the 2950x, but otherwise I shouldnt have to sweat anything else. I think the honda civic...

    New Build Help Wanted AMD vs Intel Selection (Please)

    Thanks for the replies, turns this is more about MB features for me, and right now it seems the GIGABYTE X399 AORUS XTREME sTR4 AMD X399 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 Extended ATX AMD Motherboard is leading the pros v cons vs the semi-equivalent intel Z390 boards. PCIE lanes galore and usb 3.1 gen 2 m2...

    Instant Shutdown

    Moved my desktop to another room. Started noticing instant complete OFF (from idle load), no logoff/shutdown, no blue screen, nothing in the windows event logs, like someone pulled the plug out of the back of the PS. I am not sure how to troubleshoot aside from swapping parts out at...

    Gigabyte Z77X-UP5-TH LGA 1155 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    One thing I miss from these reviews is the customer support aspect, maybe only when a board is faulty does it receive this treatment. I have this board, had to warranty it w/ gigabyte due to faulty bios. While everything went oddly smoothly (they pre-shipped replacement, etc). Gigabytes support...

    Im outa town on travel, cant get a pic up until this weekend. Although not at stock speeds, this was gigabyte bios "optimize bios settings", iirc it barely pushed the proc over 4ghz, it was modest to moderate at best. With the exception of the grfx corruption, everything else handled it like a...

    Gigabyte Z77X-UP4-TH LGA1155 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    With all due apologies Dan!!! I made a poor assumption. Once again, motherboard reviews the Hard way!!!! Much appreciated. Now I gotta track down the USB 3 differences between the UP4 and UP5 and see if the UP5 has any SCSI over USB support.

    Gigabyte Z77X-UP4-TH LGA1155 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Im also curious as Ive seen it on other sites, that Gigabyte chose the red headed step child of USB 3 controllers and as such the ports connected to those controllers are many and not as good as other options. While USB 3 performance isnt a typical gamers benchmark, this is still something I...
