What state are you in? Amazon started collecting tax in Georgia on the first of the month. Amazon has certainly lost its advantage for me.

Kick ass cards and support for the [H], gotta love em.

This would make a great upgrade from my 460, not to mention that sexy cooler.

Quality. Price. Performance.

Innovative coolers and card designs plus they support the [H], what's not to like?

I have always been a big AMD/ATI fan. Not only do they offer some great products, but they often give us gamers the best bang for the buck performance available. Unfortunately that "green" company gave me the best deal last round, but I'd love to have some Red back in my rig.

Galaxy kicks ass and supports the [H]. What's not to like?

pm'd... thanks even if I don't get one :D

I seem to have been struck by red envy and could use a low power card for my gaming HTPC.

Please and thanks.

I like Patriot for their line of quality memory products.

finally caved on BF3, about to install origin for the first time. Thanks!

It's twice as fast as my overclocked gtx460 and what more do I need to say?

Yeah, I'm wondering this too. Most of it seems to be crap. Worth the extra $10?

Heads Up... 1 sale a day says it has gigabit ethernet, but cisco specs and other sites say fast ethernet or 10/100.

It should be similiar, but would the cache difference not affect IPC?

I briefly tried with my ud3, but was unssuccessful. I was not able to pass Audio or any USB ports. I was able to passthrough my radeon 4830 with working hdmi audio and a PCI audio card with optical out and a PCIx USB3 card.

If you already have the stuff, why haven't you tried it yourself? FYI, I have a gtx 460 and 3570k, I use on board Intel HDMI for my TV and gtx 460 for Monitor. TV Speakers when using TV and Logitech G35 USB Headset when using the monitor. The TV out is automatically enabled and disabled...

Yeah, looks like realtemp 3.7 is matching AIDA64 2.30.1947 for my core temps.

Yes, I have mine installed inside the case connected to a pci slot USB adapter that plugs into a USB header on the mobo. I just took apart the PCI bracket and ended up with 2 seperate usb tales that connect to the mobo header and stay inside the case. I actually not only boot ESXi from a USB...

All AMD Chips support VTd and IOMMU (or whatever AMD calls them). It's Intel that disables features on their low end and enthusiast chips. I am using all of the hardware virtualization features on the ESX server in my sig. passthrough for some of my storage disks, vmdirectpath for video card...

I just tested prime95 for 24 hours. Completely stable. Stopped prime. Started Intel Burn Test on High. IBT crashed in less than 3 minutes. I'm not sure I trust prime with these modern processors.

In my experience, if that's the case, then there are other problems with the system causing the instabilities rather than the processor itself.

When I activated on steam it said + Tactical DLC. I have not downloaded the game, so I can't confirm it's actually there, but I don't think steam is lying to us.

Ok, let me rephrase that. My computer is verifiably less stable at the same core speed and voltage using IBT w/ avx. The same seems to be true for Prime95 vs IBT. My computer is still burning away at p95 while I sit at work. It will be around 20 hours when I get home, we'll see, but I bet...

I am finding that prime95 just isn't stressing these chips enough to give a good indication of stability. And my previous Intel Burn Tests were without SP1, so no updated AVX instructions. This is what I am seeing at 1.25v: Prime95 max temps: ~70C Intel Burn Test w/o avx: ~80C Intel...

Sweet, thanks guys!

Interesting, I had missed that post earlier. I'll have to play around with that setting to see if I can get lower temps and possibly push it a little past 4.7.

Bit on the augmented too. Hoping for that Tactical DLC. If not, only a dollar lost.

FYI my temps start to go up quick above 1.225/1.25 volts. They quickly jump to around 84/85C on the hottest core at 4.7GHz. Considering the high TJmax on these, I don't feel too uncomfortable running at them temp, but I haven't gotten windows to boot at 3.8GHz, so the additional voltage isn't...

not the fins! You want to smooth it down into the gap between the block and the heat pipes. Then scrape the excess off, so you basically only have it in the gaps. Like caulking i guess, or masonry. Then the dot on the cpu itself. it will spread across the block naturally when you attach the...

It feels a bit snappier than the x6, not much. But I think that may be to intel RAID drivers. My SSDs are a lot faster now! boot from windows logo to logon screen was about 14+ seconds, now it's 3-5! I'll have to see how it does when I've got a bunch of apps running, but based on trying to open...

Yeah, it seems to me the heatsink just doesn't make much of a difference with these chips. The 212+ is noticeably cooler to the touch with this chip than it was with my x6.

Just a Cooler Master 212+. Ambient temp is about 75F in my room right now. That was right between runs I guess, notice the max temps, those are just a bit above where it usually sits at load.

BTW, anyone know how to use the long term and short term wattage settings?

With a little more voltage. temps haven't moved, but its getting cooler in here.

Been playing around :D 1.225v at load. mostly hovers at 1.208v :cool: adding load pic in a minute... \\edit damn. froze that time... It's taking a lot of voltage above 3.6GHz. 3.6 seemed stable at 1.2v but I only ran 10 on high a couple of times before turning it up.

I just picked some of these up due to the recomendation in this thread. Running at 1833 with no tweaking. I set the voltage to 1.5. Didn't realize I could go even lower! I'll be tweaking it some more tonight. Let's see what timings they can do at 2133, if at all. Thanks guys!

Why are you reading in Fahrenheit? 90F is like 32C, that sounds fine to me. What are your ambient temps?

Nice! I just picked mine up from microcenter. running at 1833 right now. I let SPD handle the timing, but set the voltage to 1.5 manually. Didn't know they could run with such little voltage.:D Can't wait to get to tweaking tonight!
