So you think I am right? Cus the bot cycle just stops at the CPU according to the q led strip. that suggests to me that it is hanging on the cpu verification. I just hope I don't have a dead...

Hmm...ok everyone. I know this has been beaten to death, but I just want to check up and make sure.

I picked up a R4G and a 4960X a few days ago. Just got done installing everything in a new box,...

Hmm, I assumed as much. They are indeed notorious for this crap, but I just wanted to make sure. The only other thing I was thinking was that maybe ASUS was letting the old stocks run out so any new...

Hey, Raja. What about my issue with the R4G availability? Any idea whats going on?

--Skrips

Ummm....Raja? I was just on Newegg, checking on a few things, and I decided to check my wishlist. I had the R4G as my MoBo of choice for the new IB-E build I was going to get at the end of this...

Same goes for me. This is contrary to everything I have ever read about the Xeon parts. Makes me wonder if the higher end Xeons are also unlocked. 3.4GHz 10 core V2 parts OCed might be interesting......

Wouldn't I need a Xeon mobo and ecc ram to go with it?

--Skrips

Haha, yup, that's about it! This is a compromise build, on a "budget". Though, its funny to call this a budget build when I priced it at $4100 total for everything on Newegg.

As for the CPU, the...

Ummm, why in the world would I need a 1200W PSU? I would not think that it would be needed in an mATX workstation.

Amrite?

Hmm, I was hoping 860 would be enough. And I thought it would be, but I just didn't have all the info for this gen and exactly how much power the misc components would draw. Thanks for the heads up!...

OK, here it goes:

I am going to put together a new Ivy Bridge-E build. Now, I know Ivy-E is not so well liked, but that aside, I need cores, and I cannot wait for Haswel-E, though I would really...

Be that as it may, it still does not change the fact that I have to buy one. I cannot limp along with 4 cores anymore. My development workload has surpassed regular Sandy Bridge parts.

Do I want...

Here it is, fresh off the press:



Read the article HERE.

Ummm, i do? Rendering a double hd res image on anything less than 8 cores is misable. And i only have 4 cores. :(

UPDATE: OK, so I worked on it last night as I said, and ripped out the old PSU when I got home. I installed a brand new Corsair AX850 modular PSU, and guess what? The machine booted up just fine the...

Update: i just went to frys and bought a Corsair 850AX. Will be installing it soon, and will update again after im done.

I already tried cmos clearing a week ago when this started becoming a real problem. I cleared it and redid all my settings. Still have the problem. Also tried all the standard stuff, including trying...

Removing the mobo seems a bit extreme. I can safely say that i am 99.9% sure its not shorting out on the case. That leaves mobo/cpu, or psu. And im still leaning toward the psu unless someone can...

Don't have a spare PSU to use, and i don't have my multimeter here with me atm. But i am sorely tempted to run down to my local Fry's Electronics to buy a new PSU. Not excited about the HUGE line i...

Ok fellas, here is the scoop. A month ago or so i pulled the trigger on that new SB Z68 machine i was talking about in my other thread, some of you may remember. Well, now the damn thing is...

Just FYI, i pulled the trigger on the new parts! :)

Here is the final build list:

2600K
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO
EVGA 580GTX 3GB
Corsair 850TX PSU
Corsair H100 CPU Cooler
Corsair Special Edition...

Exactly the problem. There isnt much to look forward to, and it makes me a little sad. I wonder sometimes if we will see the end of the era? I dont mean that PC games will fade away and no more will...

Well, there WERE many games i was looking forward to, but anymore i just see the failures before the games even come out:

Diablo 3: always on internet, real money auction house, rediculous DRM...

Not sure you can stress test an idea, especially when its not a product yet :P

Frag Maniac, despite your flaming post, i still got you into the discussion :)

Also, it wasnt me who mentioned MS dropping xbox. They wont, and that part of the problem.

Keep going! I want...
