Since the October launch time frame is MOSTLY confirmed now, I immediately set aside 3000 bucks to grab on launch day, along with a solid HX1000i if it gets updated to PCIe 5.0 video power (or if the...

It's fine, fans are tough unless one is already defective and going out on it's own, then it might be a small problem, though most easily fixable. No GPU or Vram harm will occur.

Okay, we're on the right track then, my GPU is as pure of a reference board as possible (PNY) to begin with, there is no factory customized settings at all.

So the problems are fairly minor ones...

You misunderstand me. I am asking if it is something that can be modded into an existing bios by us, the modding community. I'm not asking if you think OEMs are going to add it to older hardware, I...

AMD's Smart Access Memory feature turns out to be pretty much just a very well optimized use of an already existing, but normally un-exposed feature on PCIe. Nvidia is currently working on a driver...

LOLOLOL!!!! I laugh at your mention of things I protested against and hated Intel for years over as proof I'm some kind of Intel fanoy. Until Conroe, I never even owned an Intel CPU, get a grip, son....

This is correct. They are using artificially temperature inflated testing using "oven testing", where air flow is cut off and extra component heat is heavily simulated.

Good call on not taking bait. Just irritated at opportunistic fanbois who've never even seen the performance I have taking cheap shots. It's Sour Grapes, pure and simple. But while they whine and...

Don't you wish. AMD fanboys are hooping and hollering, but the funiest part? I still get FULL performance and no bug, unlike your little TLB bug that there was no escape from. A simple little port...

I'm doing better with the whole thing now that I know there's a way around it. SATA 6Gbs slots FTW!

It seems to me the Intel 6Gbs ports are no loss to have to use. In fact, I probably should have hooked up to them to begin with anyway. Oh well, this is a non-issue now for me. This PC is fine on 6Gb...

This news is breaking my heart. This is easily the finest PC I've ever built, and I was happier with it then any I've ever owned. :dammit:

I'm running bios version 1204 on mine, and the only boot issue I ever had was the double-post issue, which 1204 fixed. I have so few problems with mine that I set everything to auto (except memory)...

I just got mine and no fan in it. Latest batch from the Egg. But it's a GREAT board, love it so far!

It is the NTFS thing. EZ Bios won't read bios files stored in NTFS and returns message "Selected file is not EFI BIOS". I burned the .rom file to a CD and EZ Bios was able to read that fine. Now...

I guess this list isn't being updated anymore? I posted that 3841A507 is good to go.

Nope, you got that one totally wrong based on a false assumption. It's actually the opposite of what your thinking. Windows 7 runs on less resources then Vista does and is easier on the OC then Vista...

I can happily report that batch number 3841A507 runs at up to 3.6Ghz on nothing more then VID vcore of 1.19 set in bios, 1.17 idle, and 1.15 under full load. Taking her up to 3.8Ghz requires nothing...

What do those do? I've left them alone so far.

So far, my max bclock at stock voltage is 180mhz. I haven't pushed it further then that yet. It may go further.

HT on, Turbo off. HT on is a must or I've reached my OC/voltage limit as far as I'm concerned. If I have to turn the HT off to get voltage down or clocks higher, then I've gone too far. That's a...

I've actually dropped my vcore since last I posted. Now running 3.6Ghz on 1.21 vcore set in bios, 1.15 shown in Windows under load. Managed to shed another couple of degrees under load for my effort....

It's hard to think of it as a service pack when it's a payed for upgrade. I generally think of service packs as free additions. Plus, I can think of ZERO service packs in the past that have changed...

Don't use RealTemp 2.70, it fibs about Core i7 temps and shows them lower then they really are. Use 2.90 at least.

Hehe, that's where I got mine as well. Seems they have some good ones up there right now :D
