    1366 x58 Xeon Enthusiast overclocks club

    I'm running a GTX 2080 with a Xeon 5650 on water. 4.4ghz 24/7. I game in 4k for the most part and I can say that there is no bottleneck. In fact most games consume ~20% of all cores under load (far cry 5 max settings). Which other games are you curious about, I'll try them.

    RAID Array problems

    Hi all Reviving this thread from the dead. I am presently using a 2310 with 4x 3tb drives in raid 5. This controller has worked really well for me for years. OCE allowed me to upgrade my array from 4x 1.5tb drives one at a time to 3tb drives. I am on an x58 Sabertooth board (tylersburg...

    Advice on EX58-UP4P replacement.

    Hey everyone. My faithful gigabyte x58 ud4p crapped out on me the other day. I deconstructed my loop in my 800d. Mounted the oem heatsinks and couldn't get it to boot for me on a testbench. Its a gonner. Ive applied for an RMA with gigabyte to see if they have something comparable in their...

    AMD am2+ 780g X6 Thuban quesion/issue

    Great suggestions, guys. I passed them along to my friend and he might try them. There's probably marginal performance difference between 667 with tighter timings that the board is forcing and 800 at stock timings.

    You Should Wait Before Buying A 4K TV

    How is everyone missing that netflix is pushing a compressed codec of sorts for 4k house of cards on a 25mbps stream? That kind of bandwidth is reasonable to me. The video quality destroys any 1080p bd content. Im not discrediting the fact that tech improves as time progresses but 4k is here...

    You Should Wait Before Buying A 4K TV

    Just like to chime in here guys. Seems to be much misinformation going on. I just picked up a 55'' 4K samsung set and i got it for about $1200 from costco. It does do 4k at 60hz 4:4:4 and it looks apesh*t. It does support hdmi 2.0 on all 4 of its imputs and is getting along swimmingly...

    Best six core cpu for Gigabyte AM2+ board?

    Yeah. I think this is the way to go. We'll look to track down a 95 watt chip at a decent price.

    Hey guys. I fell off the AMD CPU train after upgrading my beloved operon 939 rig to nehalem. Have a friend with a decent setup but a low clocking dual core chip in a gigabyte AM2+ motherboard. He will end up using a corsair closed loop water cooling blocks with a 120mm fan in an htpc he has...

    Gigabyte GTX 970 Mini-ITX (and discussion for other small 970 cards)..

    Anyone with the Gigabyte card think this will fit? http://shop.watercool.de/epages/WatercooleK.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/WatercooleK/Products/15550 officially watercool says "custom" but that pretty ambiguous to me.

    Advice on moving aging system to SSD raid0

    Thanks for the input, guys. Any flavor of sataIII controllers play nicely with gigabyte x58 mobos? I should be fine with one drive on the pcie 1x slot then, right?

    Advice on moving aging system to SSD raid0

    I suppose the technicality that I am hung up on is this... One 480 gig drive on the sataII will give me 275megs/s but raid 0 would at least be double that on the ICH10, no? This way i can get near sataIII speeds with two ssds.

    5850s squealing on H20?

    Wouldn't loading one card at a time and listening for sound be the same? I've done that and noticed that one card squeals louder than the other.

    5850s squealing on H20?

    Thanks for the response. I have definitely listened to the specific places that I hear the high pitched noises. Its not my PSU. I can hear the cards individually as I load them.
