Yeah, I really like this card Ket. Nice boost over the 6870... ;)

After figuring out what was going on with the throttling I noticed my VRM temps were getting way too high!
During a Furmark run...

Just wanted to post a correction...
After talking to the folks over at TechPowerup I found out why GPU-z seemed weird to me. :p:

There's no problem with it's reporting it was just my own...

Yeah, it's the 1536 SP card Sam...

Voltage is locked in AB, but Trixx (seems) to allow voltage adjustment.
I say seems because I can see improvements in benchmarks and bumping the v's was good...

Sorry TEDY, I was anxious to to try the card out and didn't take any pics of the cooler installed on the 7870... :p:

It fits exactly the same as it did on the 6870 though. The one drawback is...

I hesitate to call this a review because I'm no expert, but I couldn't think of a better title... So consider it first impressions. ;)
This is the card I picked up yesterday:...

Thanks Folks... :up:

I was actually looking to buy locally. MicroCenter has the 7870 I mentioned for $250......

I'm not a huge gamer, but it's been quite a while since I've upgraded my video card and the bundle AMD is offering just looks too good to pass up!
FC3, Bioshock and Tomb Raider all look like games...

FWIW, I've been using MX-4 for a few years now and have been quite happy with it compared to others.
There are more exotic (read expensive) TIM's that probably perform better, but I've done some...

Just curious if anyone has tested an xx13 (2013) batch? Has the 32nm process improved any?

From the Vishera's I've had 5Ghz stable on air sounds almost impossible...

Thanks David... :up:

I'm starting to think somethings just a little screwy with WMC (although I get the same effect on a number of different rigs).
I'll check out the software you suggested!

I have a number of HD video files that are in either AVCHD or M2TS format. The quality of both look great, and support 5.1 audio flawlessly.
The only problem is that the file sizes are HUGE! Even...

This ASrock EX9 seems to be very sturdy and well made physically, but the bios is poor to say the least... :shakes:
Version 1.10 was pretty bad, but after flashing back to 1.0 (although more stable)...

Hey Beep....

Have you had a chance to test that 8120 on LN2 yet?
Just curious... :D

Hi EnJoY,

I sent ASRock a message about the LLC problems I was having with bios 1.10. They did some internal testing with the same settings and experienced an even worse droop than I was getting...

Major Thread Necro! But I felt the need to update...

I did the repairs on the Carver, cost me $130 and in the end, I'm not sure the shop did much of anything. :shakes:
The bad pot was fixed,...

Hey Sam,
Just wondered it you got that 8120 today?

It's a little nostalgic now too, but it did pretty good on the little cold I could give it... :D

The GT AP-15's are excellent fans! Quiet, and move a lot of air... :yepp:

Since your case is designed for 140's though, you might want to consider these:...

Not sure if this will help Tomasis, but this is what I run for 24/7 stable (G.Skill RipJaw X).

Thanks for the input GFDuke... :up:

I went ahead and ordered the refurb'd Harmony One. I got it yesterday, charged it and have been setting it up today.
It has some plus's and minus's compared...

First, let me say that I have a Harmony 520 that I've absolutely loved for the last 5-6 years...
The styling and functionality of this remote is damn near perfect IMHO! Sadly, some of the buttons...

I could have sworn I reset bios after the flash to 1.10.... Anyway, I did it tonight and it did help a little, but LLC still acts wonky compared to the C5F. :rolleyes:

We're both pretty new to...

I usually get in trouble when I start messing with network settings.... :p: Not my forte!
I assume you were talking about using netsh from the CMD prompt? (scary !)

The Realtek worked fine when...

InfraR.ed & AMDforME: Thanks for the tips folks! This is my first ASRock board....

I did a little more testing tonight and apparently LLC is not working at all on this board. :rolleyes:
(latest...

I have an Ex9 although I haven't done much testing with it yet... It's a nice board, but it does have a few quirks.

The Negatives:
1) As with any new board, the bios needs a little work....

Maybe I've just been lucky up to this point, but I had a really weird thing happen tonight...

I bought a Silicon Dust HDPrime cable card box (this thing is amazing BTW!) to send cable over my...
