3800 sounds a bit optimistic for 128GB. Is XMP working out for you without any manual bumping RAM voltage? For my 64GB, t's been 20 hours for me at XMP and and manually adjusting RAM to 1.37v, mostly surfing Google Chrome, gaming on Rust, and running YouTube while I sleep, and no crash. I just...

I have the [email protected] 3600 kit, and it was not stable @1.35v or 1.36v and 3600 with xmp enabled. It did pass memtest64 at 1.36v, but then the computer crashed an hour or two later (an Asus Dark Hero showing the memory error amber light after the crash). It has been running at 1.37v for about...

Just saw a new eVGA 3080 Ti sell for $1,925 on ebay. Link for now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184899707661?_trksid=p2471758.m4703&autorefresh=true

Yes that is a concern. I wonder if you get locked into whatever darkness/contrast/gamma settings you had when you start the uniformity setting, or does it just boot you out completely from any settings you are using and into a single designated overall setting. Of course, requiring special...

I am waiting until the Asus PA329Q is in local stores. Amazon says it has it, but all the normal places like B&H and newegg indicate it hasnt been released yet. It's not for gaming, but it has 100% Adobe RGB gamut for my photo editing. I dont know this website, but they put out a very positive...

Wow, never seen such terrible BL bleed -- it made it through the base of your monitor all the way to your keyboard. ;)

For a historical discussion of delidding: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1692584 Ahhhh, how times have changed.

That's one rim on my BMW.

Yeah, this would rock my P4 system.

I picked up the i3570/UD3H combo with some Corsair 1600 RAM at MC a last week. Couldnt be happier. Already mailed in to Corsair for the $15 rebate on the RAM. Boy RAM is cheap now. :) And yes, flash the BIOS ASAP, and for Win7 64 bit you need to get the latest Gigabyte ET6 driver.

The ammo for a BB gun. If that is any help. :D

Woot!

Well, I guess the facepalm meant that he could have done even better by applying the heatsink directly to the chip. But that is admittedly a quantum leap in effort with a greater risk of breaking things, so it is understandable that someone would only replace the TIM. Actually I am rather...

We are engineering a solution here, it is a matter of trial and error. The statistic of 9 out of 10 failures is only applicable to the testing phase, to when we are trying different combinations of heatsink, pressure, TIM, lapping, etc.... Once you find the successful procedure, you record it...

If we are trying to prove that the CPU package heat transfer system is bad at cooling, and we had ten tests on ten proven-good IB chips where we removed the IHS w/Intel TIM and replaced it with direct contact heat sinks with different TIM (say a different heat sink and different TIM in each...

We have, read this article http://www.overclockers.com/ivy-bridge-temperatures And the others are correct. Intel, AMD, Nvidia gimp chips all the time by disabling a core and selling them cheaper. Think about it, the chips are the same, it probably costs Intel more to make a cheaper chip...

I would use a small torque wrench unless you have good "feel" for tightening the screws down evenly. Possibly torque it down minimally, just to contact, and turn on the computer to run tests to see what kind of temps you get. Then if the temps are bad, try a little bit more torque evenly on all...

Does anybody know if unpackaged CPUs are available. I thought I read somewhere that laptops use unpackaged CPUs. Maybe so they can squeeze it in smaller spaces with custom designed heat sinks attached directly to the chip. If somebody could buy a bunch of non-lidded IBs there would be no...

So you think that motor mounts couldnt fail because of an exhaust system change? Engines now-a-days are so complicated and inter-related that it is a distinct possibility. Exhaust changes could cause engine vibrations for which the mounts werent designed. When you make one change in an engine...

I guess I am behind the times here, are we talking about the Lady Golfer's Association competition in 2012 or Intel's LGA 2011 platform with 2011 pins? If we are talking about the LGA 2011 platform that takes Sandy Bridge Extreme chips -- 3820, 3930k, and 3960X. Then of course, these are...

I see people voiding warrantys on $60k BMWs just to make them sound better. Worrying about voiding a warranty on a $400 CPU is weaksauce.:eek:

Do you love people who instead of explaining why opposing ideas are wrong characterize them as "conspiracy theories"?

What will be interesting will be to see if they apply the solder instead of TIM to IB-E processors. If they do that, than you can be sure this is only about $$$$$. :D

The warrantor would argue misuse if you tried to enforce a warranty on a product which was used in a way for which it was not designed (say you used the CPU as a door stop (lets assume your AMD CPU broke and doesnt hold the door open any more :), and then you tried to get your money back from...

Do you always wait for the winner to cross the finish line before you bet on a race?

OMG, it's Intel's TIM which is to blame. I had no idea. ;)

Ahh, I see there is already a similar thread here on this, I would like this thread to be deleted, but I dont see how to do in on the control panel.

People will always call you names when you say something they dont like. It is easier than disproving your points, and it makes them feel better. They are just demeaning themselves, dont let it get to you.

Remember, clock for clock, the IB is faster than the SB. So if your not going to overclock either one, the IB will be faster (I think 5% to 10%, not sure though) if the processors are the same speed. I believe this is because of the innate efficiencies of a smaller die with the same layout. I...

I would say that the heat isnt getting transferred efficiently to your cooling unit, I dont know if it is a measure of being "fast". The way to determine where the problem is would involve taking temperatures at different levels of the cooling system. Take the temp of the chip, take the temp of...

The change in temperature in a room is a factor of how much heat is being generated by the chip and how much of this heat can be grabbed/dissipated through the cooling system into the air in the room. You probably can measure how efficient your cooling system by figuring how much total heat...

You are completely correct. There is really little reason to upgrade from a 2600k unless you have money to burn. An IB could run hotter than a SB but give off less heat. You don't need a Phd in thermodynamics to understand this, it is common sense. Think about it, when you take the the...

good link, funny how the article says "In the preview that ASUS has sent out we also see what looks like a mini-DisplayPort on the I/O panel. This is something we believe and hope is connected to a Thunderbolt controller, but we can't confirm this at the time of writing." I think, if we have...

That ROG will be one expensive board. Probably around three bills with an integrated thunderbolt conn. I think the release of the Nvidia GTX 690 has somewhat reduced the need for four full PCIe slots though. Did the Asus rep say the full TB support was going to be on the ASUS P8Z77-V Premium? I...

Yeah, I have the same rant there as here. Are you faulting me for that? Do you think I should be changing my position in different forums? I am doing this now, so when people find out how important this issue was, they can look back and say "oh yeah, youghmama was trying to explain that to us...

Funny, somebody stole my El Camino recently.... :rolleyes: By the way, it appears CPU-world is the only website with the ballz to "out" Intel on the fluxless solder issue. So in anticipation of the local 5-0 finding your processor and putting the guy who stole my El Camino in jail, you might...

I think this article sums up things re IB overclocking: http://www.pcworld.com/article/254713/intels_ivy_bridge_chips_appear_to_run_hotter_than_sandy_bridge_chips_when_overclocked.html

Well you can try improving on Intel's TIM for the IHS. Try delidding the CPU and replacing Intel's TIM with Indigo Extreme. You may be permanently sticking the IHS onto the CPU, so beware. Then put the lid back on (if you can) and see if the temps are better. I am not sure this will work because...

Better hide, the stealth helicopters are hovering and Intel SWAT team is fast roping onto your roof right now. :cool: I guess that could be taken the wrong way. I mean, I agree with you, now do you see why they didnt use fluxless solder?

Kudos to Micro Center for not joining the gangbang on the early adopters, I have always liked that store.
