I do not arrive has to cross(spend) in normal mode without savings(economies) energy of the cpu in spite of make him(it) have them to deactivate in bios (c1e; c3 c6 eist etc.) thus I know what to do more too much I have flash bios, to make out a will of other bone of other cg etc. I more know what to do Would have you a solution has my problem thank you material i7 2700 k bios f5 flash tomorow z77x up7 16 go avexir 2133 mhz ssd 40 go seven , ssd 128 go xp gtx 580 lightning seasonic 1200 w thank you

Hy boys, I want to change my ASUS MAXIMUS V GENE because it don't like cold to bench under LN2. With temperatures higher -80° the system crash and I can't push my 3770K to the max frequency. What can I buy? An other MVG or a GIGABYTE Z77X-UD4H for the same price ? What is better ? Thanks

Hi everybody I have a working Chaintech Zenith ZNF3-150. I'm looking for the manual,latest bios,utilities and latest drivers possible. Thanks

My new blog: http://cpuwars.wordpress.com/ I decided to commit to a project and put my time and money into a research, which will finally reveal the true objective preformance of both brands. The tests will be preformed in many applications/games under three different frequencies (3.4GHz, 4.0GHz and 4.5GHz). I will compare i5 3570K, FX-8120 and FX-8320. Complaints, praise, requests, etc.. are welcome here !

2012, almost all active MB brands launched ITX boards. ITX advantage is smaller dimension. If using high performance CPU, GPU or WiFi technology support, it may create more value to PC as competing with smart phones, tablets or laptops. GIGABYTE former two generations Intel ITX MB specs were normal and late. For Ivy Bridge structure, the specs are improved a lot. It?s capable to compete with the others. Taiwan has two models, H77N WIFI and B75N. The PCB designs are almost the same. The main difference is H77N WIFI built-in BT4.0 / WiFi card and antenna. H77 chipsets supports two SATA3 devices, but B75 only supports one. This article is testing GIGABYTE B75N…

Solid-State Drive does improve C performance in past 4 years. No matter DeskTop PC or Notebook both shorten the system processing time. It?s why SSD still so popular after launching many years. However, the high price also impact the popularity. Every year, SSD price is almost 50% off. The price segment is based on 100 or 200USD. As history price record, 2 years ago, 200USD only could have 60GB, last year was 120GB and this year is 240GB. This year, you can find many 120GB SSD below 100USD. This price point is acceptable. 3 years ago, CORSAIR, from USA, started their SSD product line which was pioneer in this field. Controller also moved from SAMSUNG to SandF…

well as the title says,i need to know under what category my cooling rig belongs... simply put,its an air conditioner that has its evaporator submerged in antifreeze.now i think it should be under water cooling,but the air conditioner is technically a phase change cooler... if you need to see it to understand,here is the build log: http://www.carbonite.co.za/f29/my-kinda-crazy-cheapo-cooling-rig-36459/

Hi, I'm curious as to whether or not (low-end) closed-loop cpu water coolers such as the Antec Kuhler 620 should actually be listed as "Water Cooling" for submissions.. I feel that this cooler is merely a different type of air cooler, and I don't think it's fair to be ranked against people with real water setups. Thanks in advance for any info.

In recent 2 years, MSI did not focus on the Ultrabook series as many other brands, they mainly focused on high performance of Gaming series Notebooks, that makes MSI to become a well known gaming products company in the market, also shows how important of the Gaming related market. MSI Gaming, Dell Alienware and ASUS ROG are the top 3 of the gaming laptop products in the gaming laptop market, that's the well known brands in the gaming laptop market. The higher product position comes with much higher price range. MSI extend their Gaming series become more price range segments, GT series on the top, GX series based on AMD platform, and GE series focus on the perf…

hey guys, i'm planning to buy a SSD & i got a budget of approx $150 or so. it'll be mainly used as boot drive & also for my benching use. i'm looking for one which will give me a good boost in PCMark. any suggestion??

Hy boys, today I have removed my 3770K cooled by single stage and I have found this surprise. The contact are removed. Why? Can I use this cpu now or are damaged? Thanks

I have 3 Asus 9800GT Matrix cards. 2 SLI connectors on each card so you would think Tri SLI is possible but it's not. Tried diffent drivers, different SLI connectors.. Normal 9800GT's only have on connector so I thought it would be possible with the Matrix cards. Someone got it to work? Found this with google, would it be possible to modify the firmware for Tri SLI Support?

Hi, well I tell you. I have a BFG 9800GX2 but I realized that when I opened the GPU-Z where it should say "NVIDIA SLI" I get "Disabled" of days ago that I wanted to fix this problem on my 9800GX2, I flashed the video card but I have not consegir have the solution to the problem, and hope to find the solution with the help of you. I leave a picture of GPU-Z

I have strange FX 5900 here: Sticker -> 5900SP Dev. ID -> 5900 MS-8937 -> 5900XT. Default clock is the same as XT - 400/350. Question is simple... to which category should I submit?

I could dress this question up in a load of different ways but in short: Is there a way for me to run Unigine Extreme at the proper res, whilst using a 1440x900 monitor......... that costs less than buying a new monitor?

Today i did some test with 5 OCZ Vector and 3 Samsung 840 pro, all in the 128GB Variant:D I was very surprised, when i finished compare these drives, the OCZ Vector ist not bad at all, but it looses against the Samsung 840 Pro. In PCM05 both are really near together, but in PCMark Vantage, the Samsung declasses the Vector much! This was the last time for me, i buy OCZ SSDs, on Paper it looks like the strongest SSD on the market, but the tests show, that this is not more than marketing. Also Support for OCZ is an shame, there toolbox is not available for the Vector Here you can find my test with both SSDS, 3 Samsung against 5 OCZ, shame on you OCZ! http://www.fre…

They took away his 6-pin power plugs, ....They gave him QIMONDA!!!!!!!! GDDR3 instead of GDDR5 and only 256MB of it. ....then did this to his core spec WTFFFFFFFFF is that? 96SP and a 128-bit bus? HTFFFFFFFFFFF is this a GTX460. Colorful: Die in a fire.

Hello guys , I am novice OCer and I have dude about that RAM : http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=438 What Chip uses ? Thanks at advance !! PD : That info is for setting ok the RAM profile at R4E.

So I have two Radeon HD 7770's, and I'm trying to run WinXP x64... but upon doing so, I've installed the latest 12.6 and 12.2 drivers, but I haven't tried anything older yet. In both driver versions, the CCC does not list any CrossFireX option anywhere inside of it with two HD 7770's installed. Does AMD not support CrossFireX in WindowsXP any longer? CrossFire works perfectly in Win7 x64 on the exact same hardware (in a different partition), fyi, so it's not the hardware, it's the software.

I have a proper head scrather here guys and would appreciate any info/help. 3930K @ 5.0 3DMark11 score with a 680 LTG = http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4777783 All good there and happy with that score 3930K @ 5.0 3DMarkVantage score with a 680 LTG = http://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/4395171 I am seriously confused at this score for vantage. 8 pack gets 52285 for the GFX score and a poor clocked 7950 scores more than me on GFX...HELP!!!!! PLEASE!!!

I have an Problem but think its not the Mainboard. All CPUs work fine with this board but when i clock my 960T, sometimes short after OS entry or after a while benching my Monitor turns off mouse loose Power and on the Mainboard i get code 88. The same Code appearce when i forgot to plug the 12V to the Mainboard. What is it can someone please help me with that issue? BIOS is up to date:) It only happens after passing 4800MHz but only with 960T. Had UD3 before and there no issue??? I dont unterstand that

really good mainboard !

I'm looking for some good overclocking DDR2 modules. I've got some modules right here but I don't know which ones should be best overclocking. Can someone help me pick the best ones? It's been too long The first 4 are single sided, the other 2 crucials are dual.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-11-05/apple-said-to-be-exploring-switch-from-intel-chips-for-the-mac.html Makes you wonder if x86 will be a thing of the past in 10 years... Food for thought.
