    ASUS Sabertooth Z87 LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I believe the Gryphon Z87 m-ATX is in the TUF line, but the GRYPHON ARMOR KIT is separate (?). http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/GRYPHON_ARMOR_KIT/ I think there is a bundle with it tho, I just don't remember. Thought about it when it was released, then just went for the Sabertooth.

    ASUS Sabertooth Z87 LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    There is a stripped down OC utility on the Install CD that came with the Sabertooth board. It's called TurboV_Core and I THINK it is under the tools folder, but I forget. But, it's there. No quite as fully functional, but does cover some goodies under the Widows environment , with adjustments...

    4670k & 4770k purchased anwhere operating performance thread

    I guess my 4770K isn't that bad. Corsair 80i. Asus Sabertooth Z87 4.5GHZ at 1.236, 78 C after 20 runs with Intel burn in. CPU Cache Ratio at 40 Haven't tried 4.6 yet, but just don't want to hit over 80-83 C, So haven't bumped up vcore over 1.2 manual (1.236 under load). My 3770K will do 4.8 with...

    ASUS & [H]ardOCP Haswell Z87 Motherboard Giveaway! Week 1

    I would spend 10 more minutes of quality time with my girlfriend... HAHA, just kidding. 10 minutes is just about enough time to get to the beverage shop for a 12 pack.

    Retail 4770k from microcenter OC results

    This is just the 1st week on this. I will bump up a little in the next week. I will eventually try 4.6, but with the 1.1+ vcore for 4.3GHz, I don't have much hope for 4.6 with this CPU. 4,4 or 4.5 is PROBABLY do-able. We'll see. My 3770K on an Asus Pro Gen 3 will run stable at 4.8, although max...

Set bios at optimized defaults, enabled/disabled onbaord stuff, Can get 4.3GHz at 1.11 vcore (1.126 as measured by CPU-Z at load). Using old Core temp (rc 3, I think). Core 1 the hottest, with delta from Core 1-4 at...

    ASUS Z87-A LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    As far as the review goes, on the AI Suite page, it mentions TurboV Evo and even shows some pics. I have a Sabertooth Z87, and I don't have TurboV Evo, or any windows based oc app.I have seen other names for the ASUS auto tune app, but I just don't have it. I have a Asus Pro Gen 3 1155, and...

    Haswell a big flop?

    Thank you Sir! 62 is old for my family. My father and his father died at 66 and 65. Hopefully, I''l take after my moms side. Her father was full blood American Indian.

    Haswell a big flop?

    I have a 3770K with an Asus Z77 Pro Gen 3 running 4.4GHz at .005 less vCore than stock, with a Corsair 80, it has NO problems with heat. I have 32 GB RAM and a EVGA 3GB 660TI in that box, and it is my main PC now, and will be moved over to 2nd slot. My 2nd box has a EVGA X58 FTW and a 920...

    16 Peep Creations That Put Your Easter Basket to Shame

    I actually like stale peeps! One of my favorite treats, when they can be found, is the marshmallow (similar to the peep mello) cones. Small and always stale, but I like them. I will buy peeps and open the plastic and allow them to stand for 2-3 weeks until they get hard. Yummy! Is that weird? Am...

    Is a 7970 or 670 worth it considering my CPU

    I had an Exos and Danger Den water block on my 920. Had it OC'd at 3.8Ghz. When I made that my 2nd box, I changed to a Corsair 60 single fan, and the 920 OC's at 3.2 at stock voltage, 27 degree Celsius idle. Have a EVGA 650 TI in it now, just for a decent 3D vid (have 3D 27" Monitor and 3D Blu...

    Corsair Hydro Series ready for Haswell?

    Congratulations for being so steadfast. However, there's two reasons for my buying and hoarding parts. 1. I have a window for the expense. After May 1st, any expense is mine. And no, I won't tell why. 2. I am horrible with my money. It burns a hole, tried and true. So I am stock piling parts...

    Corsair Hydro Series ready for Haswell?

    received a rponse from Corsair about the haswell. They are not claiming support until it's final. Sounds right, but that means no use getting a Hydro Series in advance. Lots of other stuff to get. 14 Mar 2013 "Hello. We do not know exactly how the socket will be so as of right now we do not...

    EVGA Step Up and the Support Forum

    It's YOUR job as MOD to watch for these things. Not mine. And thanx for another paragraph to put into my letters to EVGA admin. I come to [H] forum and expect to get my pants pulled down and efore I can get them back up, get a wedgie. It's just the way it is and I would be surprised if it...

    EVGA Step Up and the Support Forum

    KamelRed Thanx for you input, tho I disagree. However, the step up is not the point. Being attacked for voicing my frustration is the point. If that hadn't happened, this would not be an issue. I have NO problem with anyone that doesn't mind waiting for the step up. If you read the two...

    EVGA Step Up and the Support Forum

    And this is the MOD who ignored the flaming in the first place and threatened to ban me when "my tone changed toward the other posters". It changed alright. Three fan boys ganged up on me in two threads. And if defending myself is taking the thread in another direction, then that shows where...

    EVGA Step Up and the Support Forum

    I most certainly agree with you. I didn't need to justify my complaints as a consumer. I admit I got caught up in the moment at first, then it became curiosity on just how far it would go. Another character flaw of mine. Curiosity. One thing tho, it wasn't EVGA (or the Mod) that was flaming...

    I am not disparaging EVGA products in this thread. I have 4 of them in my builds (mine own and a handful for others). So, it is nice to know that there is support for the hardware. EVGA has been pretty good with their support at their forums. My problem comes in with the people on their forums...
