No... I don't feel comfortable overclocking with the stock thermal compound as I believe it was spread around the chip unevenly. If I were to OC using the default HSF I'd at least get in there and put some AS5 or other aftermarket thermal compound. Since I'd be in there anyway cleaning off the...

Not entirely sure yet. SSD and 12GB RAM will come before SLI, but I wanted the PSU headroom for the option to go SLI.

Built this Core i7 system a couple weeks ago; thought I'd share my thoughts: Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840 Black PSU: Corsair CMPSU-1000HX 1000W Motherboard: EVGA X58 CPU: Intel Core i7 940 HSF: (retail stock) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 280 SSC Edition RAM: Corsair XMS 6GB (3 x 2GB)...

I'm stuck on a memory/mobo issue and looking for help. I've got a E6600 (NOT OVERCLOCKED) in a Gigabyte DS3 3.3 using F10 bios and 4x1GB PC6400 G.Skill 4-4-4-12 2.0-2.1v sticks of ram (2 packs of matched pairs). I have to set the RAM voltage at +0.3 (which =2.1v) to be stable. I've got no...

After a 4 year hiatus, I'm back on team! Got my new Vista box E6600 @ 3.15GHz 4GB RAM on the case! I just rejoined the team (had to convert over my SETI "classic" account to this newfangled BOINC stuff. I'm just running the single user mode with the flashy gfx. Anything I need to know about...

That's odd, my 3.3 came with F10. But anyway yes that's what happens when I increase something to the point it becomes unstable. I believe it's trying to reboot a couple times to check stability then gives up and puts the settings back to default.

Well I got tired of waiting so I fired off 2 emails on Sunday... one to CS on antec.com and the other to their PR firm. I got a response early Monday from both (impressed with their follow through): 1) David, Should be early Q2. DAVID FORSTER Director of Channel Relations 2)...

bump, anyone anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I was looking at this board as a possiblity, but I can't see myself using the ScreenDUO as I never turn off my computer. Can anyone think of a use for the ScreenDUO besides checking things while in sleep mode?

bump to a great thread Anyone know of a more up to date list of D9? Anything better than D9 out there atm?

The sad part for AMD though is by the time their 65nm line 'matures', Intel will have 'immature' 45nm chips shipping.

Anyone hear any new info about P182 availablity (either model)?

And for an overclocker or performance tweaker who buys this board, how likely are they to go wireless vs wired to use their system? Slim to none.

Gary, any update on when the preview is coming for this board?

I met Anand summer 1999 when I was the Executive Director for QuakeCon and started coming here shortly after the event. I post around the time I'm putting together a new system (every 2-4yrs), then a bit after to give back some experience. New rig coming early March!
