    How long to add to bench?

    Hi all - very quick question - was wondering how long it usually takes for new GPU reviews to get added to Anandtech Bench? I really like that tool, mainly for the comparisons and would love to check out the new AMD 280/290 family GPUs in comparison to my current set up and other available...

    Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, restarted during use...

    Cleared a couple of passes of MemTest86 - read in the other forum about a windows based one meant to be good at fault finding, will give that a shot also. Started running LinX but manually stopped it after 2 passes. Temps were in the low 70's Celcius, I'm on the stock Intel cooler and don't...

    Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, slow boot? -Solved! :)

    Update: Apparently CD-ROM was before HD in the boot order and think it was allowing a set time (i.e. 20secs) to search for a CD even when there was non present in the drive :S Anyway, I've set HD to 1st boot device and now it loads nice and fast again :) Thanks for the advice - had already...

    The Geforce 460 series has incompatibility issues with many motherboards - READ THIS!

    Doesn't seem like a very 'fair' test. Surely the way to test this would be in a system that is having trouble, to keep everything else the same (cpu/ram/psu etc) and to like for like swap the motherboard? With another known to work board. If problems persist then maybe the graphics card does...

    Crysis 2 Benchmarks - Demo is up now.

    A friend of mine at Crytek has been assuring me that this game will perform on high settings on a much more user/wallet friendly range of hardware, so those benches look about right :)

    GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Max temps = 52c, that was running IBT. Prime doesn't get so warm. When i was trying for CPU-NB @ 2800 (needed 1.4v) then temps hit a max of 55c. The Corsair H70 seems to be doing quite a decent job! :D
