Done. Done. Send me PM, please

You can set up the internet connection in the BIOS as well.

It is real. I don't understand their approach at all. The idea of using words instead of a letter/number combination for products is to get the customer to remember your product more easily. So they use words now ... but also kept the letters and numbers. So now we're stuck with an even longer product name like "Gank Machine Z87H3-A2X Extreme". Too many characters. It's not easy to make things easy.

For your information a break-down of the different product lines of motherboard companies. Some are a bit less clear than others, so I hope this list might help you get some clarity. ASRock Extreme series (feature rich normal users) Fatal1ty series (gaming)Champion Performance = budget Professional = feature-rich [*]Icafe series [*]OC Formula series (overclocking) [*]Pro series (budget users) ASUS Mainstream series (normal users) ROG series (gaming, overclocking)Primary denominatorRampage = high-end Intel chipset series Maximus = mainstream Intel chipset series Crosshair = AMD series [*]Secondary denominator ROG uses roman number scheme to indicate the generation of the series. Eg: III = 3rd generation ROG motherboard. [*]Tertiary denominator Extreme = most feature-rich Formula = second feature-rich Gene = extreme, but mATX Hero = budget series Impact = mini-ITX [*]TUF series (stability focus) Sabertooth = full ATX Gryphon = mATX Biostar Hi-Fi series (mainstream) TPower series (overclocking) ECS Elitegroup Deluxe series (mainstream feature rich) Essentials series (mainstream budget) L337 series (gaming)Gank series = intel mainstreamMachine = mainstream Domination = high-end Drone [*]Killsteal series = tbd [*]Aggro series = AMD platform EVGA Classified series (most high-end board) Classified SR series (dual socket high-end overclocking) Dark series FTW series (affordable mainstream) Stinger series (mini-ITX) Galaxy HOF series (overclocking) GIGABYTE G1-Killer series (gaming)Assassin = high-end Intel chipset series Guerrilla = only on X58, discontinued Sniper = feature rich gaming board Sniper B = budget gaming board Sniper M = mATX version of the sniper [*]OC series (overclocking) OC = budget overclocking board, built for records OC Force = feature-rich overclocking board [*]Ultra Durable series (normal usage) MSI XPower series (eATX, overclocking) MPower seriesMPower MPower Max [*]Gaming series Sapphire Pure Platinum

Hey all, Just browing through the Fatal1ty Z87 Professional bios and found a tech support section. Seems like you can send an email straight from the BIOS to request tech support. Does any other board have this? It's a genuine question - first time I ever saw this but I don't usually look for it. It's not really a super-useful function for us overclockers, but pretty neat idea nonetheless!

Two completely different things ...

Okay. I accept you have a different opinion, please accept that I (and others) have a different opinion and we are not changing it no matter how many times you post yours .

The changes in the HWBoints are that frequency. - 04/06/2011: Rev4 launched - 12/11/2011: Two updates to the algoritm - 01/03/2013: Pro OC change - 07/07/2013: UGP/GTPP fix Four changes, of which two minor fixes, in the past two years. That's not too bad, I think. The "basic rules" for the XOC and EL haven't changed in 2 years.

Yeah, that should be enough! What are you waiting for?

No idea, we've asked Alex92 for more information but he doesn't want to tell how he's bugging the application it seems .

Haven't tested that much, but could easily boot 2933. If that means anything on Haswell

It's different types of merit. If someone goes through all the trouble of finding new hardware and run a couple benchmark with it, that should be rewarded. You're only thinking about merit in terms of "competitive extreme overclocking", whereas merit can be a lot of other things. There is more to overclocking than LN2 and competition.

Under 10 minutes requires about 7.5GHz. The only chip I had capable of that didn't survive the 1M attempts, sadly enough. The golden K10 chips will have to be beaten by the golden Bulldozer/Pilldriver ones; it's not a walk in the park So far: - 9.703s at 7.8G - 10min 14.079s at 7.35G

Oh, and Clarkdale should have a memclk cap of around DDR3-2100, but on the Gigabyte board it went a little higher with fiddling with the subs. Fyi, http://forum.hwbot.org/showpost.php?p=80678&postcount=25

Efficiency is all in the QPI link because the IMC is on a separate die with the IGP. QPI links the Core die with the IGP die.

It was related to the points/ranks bug. Fixed now.

It's a known incompatibility problem between Corsair mid-range PSU (750/800/850W) and the OC board.

No idea, haven't tested any compatible server hardware yet. I don't even think server chipsets are supported

Please explain how you get these results, they are obviously not right ...

Yes, we are aware of that. XTU reads out the BIOS settings on order to create a profile with all settings. Most of the mainboard vendors are using "illegal" (= not officially supported) ways to alter things like ratios and voltage levels. That's why some of the changes are not being picked up real-time. It's by design it works like this. Our recommendation is to not use other applications if you're using XTU to do your initial overclocking testing on air or want to test profiles from the database. If you're just hunting for records, you can use other apps no problem.

The file should be secure enough not to be able to put an invalid screenshot into it

Yes.
