    Unable to boot via USB in UEFI mode on ECS H61H2M2 v1.0

    The stick is FAT32.. Step 11 is for Windows 7 x64 ? Anyway I tried the same thing windows 8 DVD, but 7zip can't open install.wim as archive :( Hmm so if I proceed the non UEFI installation and format the HDD as GPT during install, Win8 would be installed as UEFI ?

    Radeon 6670 vs 4870 performance comparison

    Heat and Power is not an issue, as he keeps the is cabinet chassis open all the time and he has a top of the line OCZ SMPS borrowed from me. Noise can be, but I think if the card doesn't heat up very much because of good ventilation and no OC..it won't be as noisy, right?
