*edit* I see they finally had tested with different ram. When I last had seen them posting that was not the case.

What is "funny" is how all these retail 6700k's managed to show up in Europe. People who live there are the ones that have them or say they see them... and you can find listings for them which are almost all from Europe (aka on amazon market or ebay etc). Some don't really have much of a mark...

Well they can ban it.. I don't care to be honest. I didn't really like it at first but then I got used to it and it certainly isn't any slower than if I toss in my other SSD (same model) with Win 7 on it. However, I will admit it took a long time for me to decide it was ok and there are a...

I haven't played in quite a while... I can see when I was playing how it would be pretty irritating to be new. Which is likely exactly how I would feel if I tried to play now... and BR isn't really that big of a deal outside of your points. However, when I played I really felt like I...

^^ This pretty much. If you take P95, Linpack etc and leave everything in your bios at defaults (no overclock etc) When you run those at certain points where your temp spikes you will see vcore spikes. I've seen over 1.3v on a stock 4670 for example with vcore on "auto". If you use...

Can't give you feedback on that chip. I like the 8320 that's over in my "work corner" just fine... The price on this just seems a bit much...

With Windows 8 .. you shouldn't have to install a SATA driver to install the OS. If you go into the boot section of your BIOS check and see if for your CD (and HD) if its showing them as an option that starts with UEFI. If so you can try changing them to the option (that should have...

My personal experience is more like a lot of the posts I read on another OC site. I get to a certain point and no amount of voltage manipulation will result in a stable OC. While my thermals are perfectly fine... oh and yes for reference I do use a water loop. This isn't a case of I...

As others have stated this is pretty normal for Haswell temp wise (with a stress test running). If you were to run that same program at default (out of the box) settings I bet your temps would be even higher... simply because the (auto) settings would jack your vcore up higher than you...

I purchased two Sapphire 7970's when the card first released. So obviously the cards currently available are a bit different than what I purchased. Both of these cards are still in my "work box" working away on my projects. They are in use every day, pretty much all day. So that is...

Personally I am going to get one for my AMD box. I am simply waiting for them to show up on Amazon so that I can use a gift certificate I have.

Older drivers wouldn't change anything regardless. The reason you'll see this on a board like the P9X79 Pro (which I have in my work box) and not on say an AM3+ board.. is due to a change in the realtek chipset (not the driver). Your previous gigabyte/amd cpu at most used a 889 realtek...

This may not be related, but just in case. I have sometimes had a similar issue when installing to SSD and it only ever happened when I had my SATA controller set to AHCI. If I set the controller to IDE then the install would work fine and I would set it to AHCI (in bios) after.

Even going back to my 8 bit days I've never had a cpu die.

In one of your other posts you said... "Next I removed the stick in B2 and it started right up. Just to test, I swapped the sticks and as long as there is only 1 stick of memory in A2, it will boot, both sticks appear to work on their own, just not together. " Specificly "as long as...
