After putting in some time with the Z68X-UD5 board that is being used in our upcoming disk caching article, the answer is yes. And no. I haven't had a chance to check out Quick Sync yet but hope to in the next few days along with GIGABYTE's new Touch BIOS. Everybody will just have to wait...

Hasn't Skype been a money loser for the last few years? I smells a pay to use plan comin' down the tubes!

To me, this sounds like "Oh crap! Sony is doing a swan dive and we have X PS3s in stock! How are we going to get rid of them?"

Coke, New Coke. Another instance of a gigantic cock up that was handled by a company with a ton of cash. Anything is possible when you have the bank.

Sounds like Microsoft is trying to save some cash by downsizing their testing staff and putting the work on people who try to break things for fun.

Good point, Jamie. When the channel is all the way down, the LED does shut off but you're right. It would be nice if there was an option to shut off the LEDs and still use that channel. The last time I tried to control a fan in the OS, I wasn't impressed because it required the application to...

Solid aluminum caps rarely (if ever) have a manufacturer stamped on them like old school caps used to. Gone are the days of the wrapping having Rubycon, Chemi-con or what have you stamped on the side. Now it's just specs, but very minor ones at that. The ones on my motherboard, just as I'm...

My low end Arctosa is still going strong. I'm not a big fan of the keyboard overall but that's just from personal preferences but I certainly can't fault it for anything.

Did you know we have a Pirate Party?

Let me start by saying, I'm not a die hard Conservative voter. If someone could do a better job, I'd vote for them. With that out of the way, WOOHOO! Now we can forget all of this coalition bullshit and childish infighting and get on with running the country. 4 elections in 7 years? WTF...

I'd like to see a proper EFI on GIGABYTE boards. MSI has one, ASUS has one, even BIOSTAR has one. What's more, it looks like the boards there is enough room to store one and I heard a rumour a while back that the reason why is that GIGABYTE was going to launch one soon. Looks like that may...

I'm not sure where you're located but... http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=14080BD8808&vpn=11162-15-20G&manufacture=SAPPHIRE

I might make a case convert out of him yet! This was an absolute dream to work with. I can't wait to dig into the next one. Stay tuned!

If it wasn't I'd call money grab.

If you weren't such a merciless taskmaster, I'd probably satisfy my morbid curiosity and give this a shot. :p

The slot can be backwards compatible with cards (PCI-E 2.0 slot will work with PCI-E 1.0 cards) but if you go the other way around, there's no way to guarantee that the card will get enough voltage because the newer interfaces also supply more power, not just affect the data throughput.

Very nice. If it's that cheap, I'd say pick it up if you don't mind the additional overall system noise it generates. Now that I think about it, I wonder if you could run it off of a fan controller to keep things quiet?

So with an aftermarket heatsink, can I overclock it?

We weren't examined because everybody just assumes we're too busy with beer and the NHL playoffs. They're pretty much right.

Sexy but I pitty the foo' who tries to put this in an 1156/1336 build! 1156/1336 was a great platform but having everything tied to everything else is a real pain sometimes.
