Anyone spotted any m-ATX X79 motherboards in the wild? Seems like the only natural step up for someone with a X58 Gene or equivalent. I've personally not seen anything yet :D
I can, as I've moved from the P180 Mini to the Fractal Case.
What's hot with the Fractal
- More room for expansion
- USB 3.0 Header
- Easier to cable manage
- Much more room generally for enthusiast hardware
- Plenty of ventilation
- External water cooling holes in the rear for when I pick up...
Not too bad of a case. I think you could really make it look quite nice if you fully watercooled it, 240mm Rad in place of the hard drive cages. One SSD and 1x2TB drive in the top bay. A nice EK Res, straight piping etc. Doesn't look too great with aircooled equipment. Maybe it would really...
I love my U3011. But so far I've just left it on stock settings. I don't have a hardware calibrator.
Just a little bit concerned with back-light bleeding. In a dark room with the lights off in a dark game - e.g. Metro 2033 or Amnesia Dark Descent - can definitely notice a bit of bleeding which...
Has anyone considered putting one or two of these on the side of their U3011's?

I was also thinking of putting a 2007WFP next to me U3011, but if the design is quite different then I'm not so sure if it's worth it. From what I've seen the 2007WFP vertically is pretty much the perfect height of the 30" monitors in landscape.
Is there a "2011WFP" design at all? I think the...
Yep my Sapphire 5970 also rattles identically to that video. I have noticed that if u play the card on a flat bed (horizontal) it does not rattle at all, only when in a tower case. I'm very pissed off also.
That's still some mega temps there on the NB.
I'm running 1600MHz Ram CL6 1.65VDIMM 1.25QPI
205x21 @ 4.3GHz @ 1.25VTT
NB sits at 54 Idle 65 Load
CPU Idle 28
SB 45
I'm waiting for new Intel SSD's then going to upgrade that.
You NC-U6 has a different base and heat pipe to mine...
Why would you want 5cm extra clearance when you don't need it? :p
I put that in there in case I want to go Crossfire or SLi in the future. And, things like the planned 4890x2 will be drawing 300watts, which will bring that particular PSU into its sweet spot of efficiency. Additionally, there is...
Heaps of clearance!
NB Heatsink Setup
Heatsinks installed (Finally!)
MmmmMmmm Red
A bit too close for comfort here. Thankfully everything fit snug.
Stark naked :P Just showing here how I managed to fit the 1000W PSU in there.
I think my luck is about to run out, i've been...
I just picked up this motherboard. It's absolutely fantastic. I also picked up some Corsair Dominator GT's.
I've read at numerous locations that the NB gets a bit too toasty. I know the ROG heatsink is modular if you remove the screws. What's the best 'add on' NB cooler you can put on this...
Tri Channel DDR3 @ 2000Mhz is enticing. So is the fact that its full speed PCI-E 2.0 16x over the current DFI P45 Tr T2RS which is only 2.0 8x - makes future GPU upgrades more beneficial.
But you are right, I would rather wait for a USB 3.0 and SATA III compatible motherboard.
I've had the Gskill's in my current setup run intel burn test stable 10 loops at 1105 Mhz @ CL5 @ only1.9v with the CPU @ 4.24 GHz. I run that config 24/7 and have never crashed or frozen in 2 months of use on that setting. And you can be rest assured that I've played a fair few games in those 2...
If i sell off my older three components, I will basically break even. After i bought my equipment they shot up in price due to the economy down here and our dollars buying value (I live in Australia)
Edited the layout, was a bit messy before hehe.
Here are a few HWBOT results from my mATX setup

Im using the latest BIOS too. The one after 901 lol....
Why would you need to cut away your case? Do you have a Antec P180 Mini too? I didn't do any modifications to the case at all. The only modifications I made was to the Heatsink base and the washer mod. Oh and I had to bend a few of the finds on the NB so that I can mount the TRUE Black...
Yeah on idle it will sit at about 56 and 46 on either core of the card. That's at 36% fan. Which is more than quite enough.
Games I bump it up to 45% and its not even audible with my headphones on.
I had to remove the bottom hard drive cage to fit in the card (and there is plenty of room...
Hey guys! Finally got my e-mail address validated. Now I can post! :D
Check out my mATX setup :-)
