Also in the same boat. Anyone know how RPGs, FPSs and PTSs games deal with the aided resolution? From a productivity standpoint I totally want this, but also feel it is the closest to VR available until a couple years from now. My big concern is with how gammes will deal with the non traditional...

Absolutely amazing!!! One of the most beautiful cases I have ever seen.

I have always loved AMD (ATI) graphics! ATI was my first graphics card with the Rage Fury Pro and I have used them every since. Keep putting out great cards and I'll keep buying, could really use an upgrade.

I have a SAPPHIRE Toxic edition vid card with heat pipes and performance is exceptional. I have wondered how a rear exhaust vid card would perform in this case, but since the custom fans are quieter and my rig stays very cool (even with case fans on low), I am super happy with my choice.

Ugghhh,... thought this was the 6970. Damn AMD for changing their numbering scheme this generation. Now a 6970 for $179 would be HOT.

Yes why??? My understanding is the Air Penetrator fans do not have the honeyomb and are preferred for cooling. I haven't seen a great comparison, but silversone really seems to push the non-honeycomb ones as better at cooling.

Hoy christ, sweet rig man! How are the temps on the Triple X-fire???

Yup, seems to work with paypal as long as I choose direct withdrawal from my bank.

Anyone from the US having luck with this site???

This site definately doesn't work for me. It constatly said that my card was declined. No idea why as there is 7k available balance. This site works for US right?

Looks like the newest drivers fixed my adobe hardware acceleration driver failures. 4 days since the update and absolutely zero driver failures. That makes me a happy turtle!

I've heard you can fry on egg on those NVIDIA cards.

Nope, I haven't seen it. Anychance your comp is close to your kitchen???

With regards to #2, I am having an interesting issue that may be related. I have been having issues for the last 3-4 months while watching flash videos. Either on Youtube, MLBTV, or hulu, while a video is playing, my screen turns one color and the sound from the video keeps playing for a...

You can say that again,... nevermind. ;)

MD-PhD, I thought we were talking about people too busy to do things. ;)

In fact, I am just finished with 3rd year and studying for step 2 in a couple of weeks after I submit an article for publishing and finish a poster for a national meeting. So I guess that would be valid, right? ;)

You are in fact not the only two. I have been considering it for a while but medical school is keeping me a bit too busy to have time to experiment.

Can you conrol them with fanspeed???

The biggest joke about this is the lack of wrist rest, which I think is inexcusable for the price. However, most "hardcare" folks don't seem to like the wrist rest. There is definately a noticable tilt, but I like that, can't stand flat keyboards. Totally different feel, but the action on...

It does have some noise, but frankly typing on it is absolutely great. I don't type a ton, but absolutely love this. You have to realize, the only two things you intearact directly with are your keyboard and mouse. It sucks using a $2000 system with a $40 keyboard. I have tried out all of...

Agreed!!! Best purchase I've made for a game in a while. Absolutely great story, really enjoying it. I like that you can take different approaches, especially enjoy the stealth approach.

What is that screen and how hard is it to set up???

Thanks. Looks simple, but pretty.

Great and annoying news. Just pulled my power supply out to make sure it wasn't that. It definately is the Seasonic x650 powersupply!!! I had already tested it with another power supply but that was also a Seasonic x750. This time I just pulled the power supply out of the case so I could...

Coil whine with C1E and EIST only as well.

Just update everyone, just picked up rev2. When enabling power saving in windows or C3/C6/C7 state in the bios, throttling works and the whine returns. Anyone tried sending to gigabyte for repair???

DON'T worry!!!!!!! I have a Sapphire 5850 toxic that doesnot have the shroud and only vent outside. My card is idling at 33C right now with the fan @ 21% (as low as it can go). I have never once seen it get over 52C, even with a full day of gaming. But the real advantage is I never hear the...

Interesting, hadn't thought of that. I end to use my comp for light file sharing, gaming, and hulu all at once.

Hey all, Just exchanged my Gigabyte X58-UD5 Rev1 motherboard for a Rev2. Do I need to do a complete reinstall of Windows 7? Looks like changes are largely new trace paths and other circuitry related updates. All the chipsare the same. Thanks. Trigeminal

That was my theory, but like I said it slows cold boot by 4-5 secs, takes up a slot, and is another driver. Is there a positive to usinfg it?

Hey all, Looking for some input. Should I use my onboard Realtek 8111D Dual Lan or Intel EXPI9301CTBLK 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express Network Adapter? I purchased the intel card when my ISP told my MB was causing the issues with internet, turns out they are idiots. Now I have a new rig...

The FVA bios fixes sleep for me, but does not fix the coil whine. I think I'm RMAing for Rev.2.

I think it is just their windows bios flashing app, it was there when I extracted it. I used the @bios program instead that they provide. No need to worry, just delete it again.

I have. The layout is vastly different than the F5, I like it a lot better, but the Detecting IRQ settings adds about 5-10secs to load time compared to the F5 bios.

Hybrid sleep is so off. Not a great use of my SSD, especially if sleep would actually work.

I haven't tried their forums. I might give that a try. RMA with mobos are rough though, as it puts my computer out of commision for 2+ weeks.

Yup board set to s3.

Just tried the latest beta bios. No luck, sleep just improperly shuts down the computer!

System is in sig. Basically here is my issue. Decided on the gigabyte x58-ud5 and unfortunately it has two flaws: 1) Using power saving states leads to coil whine, and 2) The motherboard shuts down with win7 sleep. It would be great to have one of these work. I have tried everything...
