Thanks for the tip, slugbug. I will check them out but those will likely be too high to pair with a Scythe Mugen 2. Rob, MSI have really stepped up their game it seems. The 790FX AM3 board is proof of that. Also factor in that they were he first company to work with the Lucid Hydra chip on...

What is this free time you speak of? Have a baby and let me know how much game time you have. By the time he goes to sleep I'm just as tired as he is. I'm still trying to get through Oblivion so that should tell you something.

Boo @ Turbo Boost! Overclock the old fashioned way! :p Yeah, I know. I'm not adding anything to the conversation but you can likely hit higher frequencies overclocking through the BIOS than you can with Turbo Boost provided your cooling holds out.

It's me again, Margaret. Are you naked? ...sorry. But it is me again, back with another what should I buy question. I found a buyer for my current rig and with the cash I won in an online contest at an overclocking forum coupled with some extra cash from building a rig for a friend my...

MOAR! Nice work and it's nice to see the old Tempest still getting some love.

I haven't watched it but it is on my list of things to do if I ever find free time. Thanks for the reminder and the renewed excitment to watch the original.

I hope so because right now Asus boards are so overpriced that I'm jumping ship to Gigabyte when I upgrade in the next month or two (provided I won't win the 5 year anniversary rig :p). I have used Asus boards from day 1 (except for the one time I used an AsRock board which died after 2 months)...

Surprise, surprise! The DRM has been cracked already! Actually about a week ago if I recall correctly. While I respect Ubisoft for doing what they feel is the best way to protect their bottom line I don't like the method they chose. If I were to buy the game (which I doubt I will if APB...

Great little board. Classic Gigabyte all the way. The only thing is I wonder how many people will jump at this board and pair it with a separate video card? The P55M-UD2 has all of these features except for USB 3.0 and can, as one review site said "overclock the nuts off of an i5 750" at...

Source Apparently the drivers are the cause of the fan not increasing as your GPU becomes hotter. Too hot and you have PCB popcorn!

Brightening your day one stupid Google searched image at a time. :D

Good thing you live in Canada. Where would you have thrown it if you lived in say, Arizona? :p

While I don't own a SSD and I can't see this being an issue for me since I always considered what I move from my recycle bin as being lost forever and am careful enough with my work it was really neat to read this. I had no idea that TRIM had a shortcoming. Well done!

One site had it humming at 4.5 on the stock cooler with close to 1.4 vcore. No mention of the temperatures they were getting though or at least I didn't see it. Combine that with the fact that most P55 boards will accept it given a BIOS update and you have a winning combination if paired...

Good to know. I was always curious about too much muscle for my resolution since I knew it wasn't outrageous. Thanks folks!

Yay! More 530 info! Too bad about not being able to test an unlocked 555. In the end I think I'll end up going with Intel anyway. The memory controller seems stronger since AMD rigs can have problems running anything above 1333 from what I have read. I can't wait to read this but will...

Did you ever see Homer make cereal only to have it spontaneously combust? Yeah...that's me. Luckily I married someone who LOVES to cook. Cooking to her is like tinkering with my computer to me. OVERCLOCK YOUR DINNER!

Look at the rig you use today. If you were to look back at something in 2004 that had your current processing power you'd probably be looking at a mini-server farm. It's crazy how much technology has dropped in price but it was bound to happen. As something becomes mainstream people are...

Isn't the board E-ATX or is it even wider? If that is the case (no pun intended), NZXT's Tempest should be able to hande it no problem. This is one of those + e-peen pieces of hardware.

I setup a separate folder in my bookmarks. Site name - contest info.
