He's adorable. :)

You should test it, any game that takes a minute or more to load would be great for SSD testing. :D I don't own any of those, alas... I think Tharic's point was that it was 21GB even though many of the files are already compressed... I may be wrong on this, but I thought games extracted...

Only 900 in height? For such a monitor that's crazy... at least make it 1080 or 1200.

Looks pretty good to me :) I can't see anything I'd change... good luck with ditching that cable bill! Wish I could do that. :)

Just to clarify, are you looking to increase the range or increase two-way communication with the router? I can't speak for others, but my personal results with upgrading to high-gain +7dBi antennas was that it helped my Linksys broadcast, but it didn't help the devices trying to send data back...

Heh, any smaller and they could fit in a wallet... Something interesting is the density on these... for the 1.8" form factor, SSDs may soon be offering higher capacities than even HDDs in a year, if not two. There's no reason they can't fit 512GB in one already...

Heh, no problem Rob! I can't say for sure. Gigabyte has shipped boards with F1 BIOS versions before, but generally even Gigabyte Reps consider these "beta" level BIOS versions, and with good reason. They often lack full functionality and are not performance tuned yet. I bought this...

Really cool to see some of the demos for this thing, but I can only see it getting even better...

Scary to realize the laser in this thing came from a LCD projector! Not seen any mention of battery life for it yet... :D

It's a problem with most/all of their 2nd generation "X58A" boards they launched at the start of this year. Just Google post code "68", which is not even mentioned on the three pages of error codes in the manual. Such as this poor guy that had to pay a PC shop $40 to resolve it...

Nice link! Makes it very quick to find specific matches, thank you! Go USA! :D

Corsair?? I was commenting because I see both an Antec 1200w and a cheap, flashy PSU (APEVIA?) in the photo. ;) Probably not an appropriate thread, but I'm going to vent a little. Gigabyte has some great hardware, but whomever decided to ship a motherboard designed for 980X with a BIOS that...

Some interesting choices in PSUs there, wonder if he's testing those as much as the boards? Cool tour!

Probably $200-$300 in parts just for CPU cooling to give you an idea. You need a pump, radiator+fan(s), and block bare minimum. I do not suggest trying any self-contained or prebuilt watercooling setups, a Noctua DH-14 would cost roughly the same and perform better with less noise.

I have not updated my sig due to constant problems and changes in hardware, but right now I'd strongly recommend Swiftech for just about everything. Their rads are also good, but Thermochill's are just a bit better... otherwise I'm using a Swiftech pump, Swiftech CPU block, GPU full-body block...

The Rampage II Extreme was one very fun board to use. It didn't sell me on ASUS, but it had features I do miss on my Gigabyte boards... hope you enjoy it! :)

Well, not sure about in Pakistan, but the good dentists here will be the first to tell you an oral surgeon is best for removing wisdom teeth, they perform this all the time and the experienced ones have it down to a science. I unfortunately had to get all four of my wisdom teeth removed. Saw...

It's your board, I'm sure you'd be happy with either one! ;)

Once you go above eight phases the benefits to power delivery are rather small, it is questionable how much it helps unless you are into extreme overclocking. For normal air-cooled overclocking, it won't make a difference if the board has 12 or 24 phases at all. :) The vendors sell the same...

Powerline-ethernet networking is a great solution when WIFI fails or proves unreliable. The only drawback is that quite a few things impact signal quality, and the worse the quality the slower the link speed will be. About two years back I bought two Netgear powerline-ethernet devices for...
