if the 2080Ti is out first that it is a clear signal that the RTX 20x0 will be short lived.... expect in summer 2019 RTX 30x0 on 7nm pretty sure to figth with Navi on 7nm. I will pass on this one, and will await card on 7nm for sure. Better deal will be the old 10x0 series on sales. Will be no...

Well, cannot be old like the sandy bridge, but my Ivy Bridge E5 1650v2 on X79 from Dic 2013 still running strong and in my plans I m not going to change it until late 2020 or early 2021, because I want this cores war to unleash all his force with 7nm and Intel 10nm before. For my usage 6c/12t...

Glad that AMD really looks like it is pushing hard on CPU front, I wish that next year on Ryzen 2 will go all out to hurt bad intel to the throat, making cluster of 8 CPU Vs 4 and offer the first 12 core on mainstream level, connecting 2 dies and disabling a pair for cluster , and offer a 24...

The only reason nvidia said this it is about fear that a day the mining will became unprofitable and will be millions of cards flooding ebay & co. Stealing huge sales from new products. I cannot await it happens so will see also prices of new cards come down to more reasonable prices like few...

Well, look like a homer this psu... now if only it can be more widely available in Europe.... Tons of lots sales from silverstone.... I'm getting one, just don't know if the 450w or the 600w...

Great news... maybe this is the PSU SFX all us are awaiting for... silent a low load, quiet a moderate-heavy load... 7 years warranty, prices not as bad...

Wow, look very promising, Unfortunately Corsair EU don't ship to my country so I'll have to await few weeks before it'll be available from online retailers... We've competition... and looks like the PSUs to beat for me so far... in 450W and 600W field even in only SFX form factor...

Well, When i think a mITX system, I think small and quiet/silent. smaller is better. if smaller is not your goal,,, but waste your time with mITX at all ? there' re mATX system quite small... If I want 2 Top of the line GPU card, a Overclocked CPU, 600+W PSU, now that can't be small ... no...

Hi Tony, But How About a stellar platinum performer, silent 350-450W SFX unit with Jap caps and decent fan ? A 750-800W SFX/L is for ? a dual GPU setup ? But you're looking at a micro-ATX board, a Micro-ATX Case with room, but what difference will make a SFX-L VS compact ATX PSU at the end ...

I don't see it widely available until end of March at the earliest, maybe into April... No trace whatever still... PSU SFX need competition... I've lost the faith to await... I truly wish that it'll not a let down with noise and subpar performance... after 1 year of await.... nearly

The Linux & badblocks has worked great for me. I usually do 4 full pass in write mode on every new HDD to burn-in. (multiple days on big TBs HDD btw) The HDD that pass it have performed greats fro me. Otherwise I ship it back/exchange. It's a life saver for your data, at this time the quality...

This is the first DDR4 release on consumer side. The Z170 is new platform, there're few CPU still on the market... At this times I'd save all the headaches and money to get stable memory at OC speed that in real use will give you negligible speed boost and throw the money at better GPU, SSD...

Well, After 1 year from the release I'm very surprise to read about trouble with x99 with simple things like usb mouse, cable monitor or failed boot... :rolleyes: I'm glad that I've choose the x79 and Ivy bridge just about 2 years ago to skip the x99 with the fear of a immature platform with too...

Well thanks. This Win 10 is not even in RC stage for me... too many bugs, UI mess with different styles in different place, Totaly different UI in Settings and Control Panel with a mix when a settings window call a control panel window. How is it possible ? A decent programmer can fix it in...

Installing Win 10 I have to set the customized settings twice with a reboot in between. anyone experienced this one ? look like a Bug

700 W in a mini-itx ?? Why ? there's no Mobo with 2 x16 slot at all, even before that with space between. next step is a micro-ATX... at the point there's the Standard ATX PSU and you're done. a NAS with 20+HDs ? a Titan X overclocked in a mini.itx case ? the watercooler radiator will be bigger...

Why 1500W PSU ?? Quadruple SLI with TITAN X ?? With Xeon Dual socket locked down, Why a Dual socket mobo with only 8 total slot of RAM ?? 36 cores with only 64GB of RAM ??? If I want a dual socket I want tons of RAM slots period. 4xSSD in RAID 0 ??? did you Know that the X99/C612 is saturated...

No, you'd saving for Skylake-K out around August. 2 Gens ahead of X99&HW-E.. remember no more FiVR... The only Big question is about overclocking on 14nm... how it scale with frequency... a 4c/8t Skylake-K can be the best gaming CPU on the market, if intel add 10% IPC over broadwell with the...

on quad core the benefit can be null or minimal or in games, but jump at 6-8 cores and do video editing or apps with massive data manipulation and you'll see major benefit. There's a reason because all the Xeon platform are quad channel at socket level...

Hi, I've a 1650v2. It's fully unlocked. On the P9X79-E WS it's the most trouble free experience over a CPU-Mobo combo ever for me. Refuse to crash with 8 DS 8GB banks at stock voltage. The only problem is that VID is not set for +4GHz so you can't use the Offset overclocking with variable...

I wish that you don't cherry picked the PSU to send to reviewer. The bad news spread only as fast btw, no reason to tarnish you reputation, $10-20 don't make the difference for nearly everyone looking for the top unit. I'm worried about the story about coil whine, rattle fans that a lot of...

I've a Mobo Asus on my main computers since 1990s, but for server... Asus no way... 2s Xeon are all hard locked and the latest Z9PE-D has been a complete flop with troubles with Nvidia cards. Only 4 DIMM for socket (and only dual channel configuration ) is a terrible choice, terrible, the cpu...

With a 780Ti SLI + 140W CPU at stock a 1000W PSU would have more breathing room to run the rig, under heavy load, if you OC the CPU you'll run that PSU at around 90% (230Wx2 + 180-200W CPU +plus board, mem, SSD, HDD, Fans, H105... $20-30 more for a 1KW PSU was IMHO a wiser choice.

Exist !! It's the Xeon E5-1680 v2, 8 Core 3,0GHz turbo up 3.9, 150W. The Xeon E5-16xx are unlocked with ECC ;).

Keep it, maybe swap your SSD with a current top of the line unit, maybe in RAID 0, maybe a SAS PCI-E controller if you want more that 2 SSDs, upgrade the ram to 32 or 64GB., next year PCI-E SSD should floor the market so the M-2, sata express can not look that impressive anymore. I'll await at...

I can't see all the exciting breakthrough about H-E platform and X99 chipset. X99 bring USB 3.0, 10 ports SATA 6G. 8 core (@$1000 btw) yes it's a step forward, maybe 2, from X79 and IB-E on the paper. But if you think about the DMI interface CPU-PCH limited at only 2GB/s, the fact that x99 will...

The lesser quality components means to be cheap, even more for SFX where the temps are higher that standard ATX case, the airflow is more restricted, it's even more important to push on quality. The performance are not spectacular in any sense. It's only barely recommended due at the SFX format...

My P9X79-E WS with E5-1650v2 and 64GB run simply awesome. Skylake-E is the first possible stop if at least 8 core at midrange prices and a new groundbreaking chipset will be available. Haswell-E make financial sense only for 8 core at $1000, previously E5-1680 (8c/16t) was $1800.Otherwise it is...

Hi, I was so eager awaiting it to be available here in Europe to start my first Mini.Itx system around a FT03 mini - Impact VII board, but now it looks like a big let down. For top dollars I was expecting top quality and quiet operation, instead I'm reading about cheap stuffs and noise. Really...

if someone is curious this is the report of my CPU : Turbo EVO or BIOS make no difference until ratio x40 included, you can mix match ration, same result I've no tried x41 in depth, at x42 a world of difference: Quick run of Prime95 Small, Default, Until Test 5 completed (3 min) E5-1650v2...

This "certain things" involve pumping potentially 'unsafe' voltage somewhere ? My goal is not to set any world record about OC, I'm only looking for a mild overclock to 4 Ghz of my CPU (E5-1650v2) and I'd like to keep the voltage at safe long term level. I was using TurboEVO and quick run (3...

I've VCORE, VSSCA, VDRAM, CPU PLL, VTT , PCH 1.1&1.5v are all set manually at fixed value. I change only Turbo ration & vcore in TurboEvo and BIOS and I get different result. Maybe some 'hidden' relaxed timing are set by BIOS with different turbo ratio ? thanks

Hi, I'm using turbo evo to help me to find the sweet spot of my cpu, but i've found this 'strange' trouble. I've set into the bios all the main voltage, setting x42 on turbo ratio and 1.265v vcore I can boot into the desktop launch prime for 5 min just fine, but if I boot at x36 at 1.15v for...

E5-1650v2 and 4930K are the same chip, but E5-1650v2 have : +100Mhz Base clock It's Unlocked, Yes. ECC Support Support Registered Ram up at 256GB. It's no offcially supported by most of boards 4930K None

Quick Update: I can confim that my E5-1650v2 is fully Unlocked, I've booted at 4Ghz into Win7, CPUZ reported 4Ghz (x40). Good @Raja The Board boot and stay at Turbo Speed All the time whatever option I select, moreover the board set the voltage higher and higher upping the multy, if I set...

Hi, I've just installed a E5-1650V2 on a P9X79-E WS Board with Crucial standard 1.5v DDR3-1600 ECC memory, so far so good (I don't know why crucial is not on QVL, very popular ECC memory), but... There're a couple of problems about voltage... CPU PLL default is set at 1.8v with Auto but for IV-E...

@Raja Hi, The P9X79-E WS look like a fantastic board for a WS, with Xeon E5 16xx. I looking forward to buy it asap I can find a E5 16xx V2 (it's out of stock everywere in Europe) I'd like to know about ECC Memory if are there settings into the BIOS to enable/disable it and other related...

Well, some little Issues : DDR4 in a 1 year for consumers when it don't even is available just now ? It should be available for Xeon E7 in 14Q1, We're talking about the Top High-End Xeon ($2-5,000 CPU) and Registered Buffered type. Where the Hardware cost is a fractions of overall cost of...
