Pro's of AM5 is the future option to drop a CPU in a board
Con's you need that much of a board to make it future proof
AM5 is not mature yet (e.g., memory speed...
I am looking at getting the 7950x (Im not a gamer and dont need the x3d variant),
Anyway, there are multiple boards that meet the future proof requirement, I would put the ASRock X670E Taichi at the top of the list because:
1) It has a PCI5 M.2 slot
2) It has a PCI5 slot for a future GPU
3) It...
Is there a good site out there that tracks what cases can accomodate both E-ATX (which seems to be becoming more frequent) and the 4080? I have the Lancool 216 as a possible choice but I seem to be drawn to the Lian Li 011 style. Hyte doesn't seem to do it.
I've had my Yoga working almost flawlessly since purchase. I use a Wacom Cintiq without issue and our of no where, I get a black screen on display 2. I've tried multple displays and cables. I am aware converters do not work on this model so these are straight connections. I uninstalled drivers...
I was forced to dissemble a diplay to repair. Everything was going fine until I saw a smudge on the panel itself, I guess from moisture or finger prints. I tried cleaning with a micro fiber but it didnt work. I tried breath on it a little and that really made it worse! Anyway, I'd like to...
I have had my rig since August. Everything has been fine, no OC and a nice Thermaltake 750 PSU. I went to turn on my PC and I got nothing. Naturally I switched cords, reseated cables and all that when I assumed my PSU died so I bought a new Thermaltake 850 PSU. I got it all hooked up and still...
I installed a Zalman CNPS20LQ on my Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH and the temps are too high. I installed real temp to verify what the bios was telling me. I have dual fans on it and the pump plugged into sys fan 2. Cpu fan is plugged in as well. The hoses feel hot near the cpu but not near the...
I recently got my GA-Z77X-UP5 TH all excited and started to build. It was suggested I get the Zalman CNPS20LQ. The board has capacitors right next to the CPU, I don't know if I am doing something wrong but it doesn't look like it will fit although it says it is made for a socket 1155. I have...
I actually wound up with 32gb of G.SKILL Ripjaws X
1 x GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH LGA

1 x Intel i7 3770k
1 x Western Digital Caviar...
Hey everyone,
I have my heart set on the Z77X-UP5 TH. I want to pair this up with 32GB of 1600 DDR3. I am concerned about the right ram and heatsink. I know some have had issues booting with 32gb and clearance depending on the ram. I am using this page from Newegg for choices Newegg.com -...
I am not sure I understand the difference. I see a lot more people taking the K variant but it looks like it is missing some features so I dont get it. Also, they CPUs have integrated graphics? As in you connect it and do not need a video card?
I had an Abit IX38 board. Specs are below:
* OCZ part number:-OCZ2RPR10664GK
* Module size and kit size:-4GB 2x2GB kit
* CPU model and rated speed:-Intel Core 2 quad Q9650
* Video card:-EVGA Nvidia 8800GS
* Power supply:-PSU corsair TX-750W 750wa
* Operating System:-XP
* CPU and System...
My Abit ix38 bit the dust again so I need to replace it. My specs are below, I have about 3 SATA hardrives as well. Im not a big OC'er, only what I could by air.
I was looking in a x48 board and saw the GIGABYTE GA-X48-DS5 but then I didnt realize they made the P45 boards now. Is there a...
This is my Temp monitoring:
Reading Beep temp
CPU 103c/217f 75c/167F
system 35c/95f 55c/131f
Obviously, cpu is the issue here. This is a new CPU (RMA'd from intel)
I am not OC'ing. This is idle temps. I checked the intel stock heatsink, it is really on there. The cover is off the case...
So my nice Abit IX38 quad GT died. RIght when I rma it, Abit shuts down its US operation. So basically its a small office is CA handling the RMA (non technical people)
Upon weeks of waiting, they tell me they cant get another quad GT but would offer me a replacement. The name that came up...
I just got this board:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127033
Its an IX38 chipset with a E8400 core 2 duo. I have 4 GB of OCZ RAM and I want to test all the components but my PSU is the older 20 pin for the MB and 4 pin for the cpu. The manual for the board says...
I just bought a new MB, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127033&Tpk=ABIT%2bIX38
and 4GB OCZ reaper Ram, Core 2 duo E8400 (3 GHZ)
I am not a gamer but would like to encode some movies, most of all I am sick of my .mkv HD files stuttering. I have PCI express 2.0 on...
I'll admit, I usually have more time to research these things but tomorrow is my bday and my wife is letting me upgrade so I need to move it. I have pretty much picked a Q6700, it could go Q6600 but I think I am sticking with a quad processor.
I am not a gamer
I am a heavy photoshop user
I...
So I finally got around to hooking my 2007wfp to my 360 and I realized the 360 doesnt support 1680x1050. So what is the concensus out there for the best resolution?
I just got my third exchange of the 2007WFP and it is an A04. Im trying to take a pic but my phone cam is too blurry. It is a RT803 (ips) as well. Shipped from Austin, made in Mexico.
I just took the delivery of the 2007wfp PVA. I imagine I could play the lottery some more and see If I can get an IPS however its likely this is all they will be shipping from now on. What else is out there besides the NEC? Is there an IPS LG out there that uses the same panel as the IPS Dell...
Hi everyone,
I am thinking of purchasing a 1650 pro agp card for my PC to be Vista compatible. I don't really game a lot, I may buy unreal Tournament 2007 but thats about it. My real goal is to get into Photoshop and graphic art programs but everytime they release a new Photoshop it seems...
I am in the market for a new LCD. Mostly for some Photoshop hobbies. After reading tons on this forum I am looking at the 2007WFP for the IPS panel it may or may not have. Is this considered a widescreen because it looks sqare to me compared to a 19 or 22" I also noticed the resolution was...
