    ASUS talks X79 RAM disk, SSD caching and auto-overclocking

    Alright, so I don't often pay attention to the ads we have on our site, but the recent batch unveiled today by ASUS couldn't be ignored.

    ASUS' X79 launch motherboards

    ASUS over the weekend sent some high-quality stock images of its X79 motherboards, so I'll share them here. The company also sent a slew of related shots (such as for AiSuite II), but I might hold onto those until our review of the P9X79 PRO. P9X79 Deluxe P9X79 Pro P9X79...

    Won Another Motherboard!

    In the latest round of benchmarking, I've just totally lost my love for the Gulftown CPUs. The 2600K can keep up to them in many cases, so essentially Sandy Bridge-E gives you the best of both worlds.

    Overkill for a GTX560Ti !!?

    Just a lit... ABSOLUTELY! The hell is the point of that thing? And it's not even the 448 core that's rumored to be coming out soon. I mean, it's a 3-slot cooler that takes up 6-slots worth of space...
