    The beauty of a Silverstone FTO2B-W

    Damn, the FT02 is a fine looking case :) I'm torn between the FT02 or a Lian Li - PC-8FIB http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=479&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=62&g=f Or, a Lian Li PC - V1020...

    Sandy Bridge design flaw - Intel halted on NASDAQ - updated 2/8/11.

    Am I correct in thinking that for users who just use the 2 6gb ports, then the current issue with the p67 / h68 chipsets is a non-issue?

    Asus P5KC, Windows 7 & chipset drivers

    Thanks so much for the information and links! This is almost certainly a noob question; I understand the need for chipset and LAN drivers, but what about the other drivers you link? I'm not familiar with what Intel Matrix/RST storage, and what the drivers in the last two links do. I'd be...

    Asus P5KC, Windows 7 & chipset drivers

    Hi, I've just bought Windows 7 64bit home premium, and decided to do a fresh install. I have an Asus P5KC board, and am not sure which chipset drivers I should use. On the Asus site the closest I can get to Win 7 64bit is Vista 64bit. Anyone know which chipset drivers I should use...

    Out of interest do the voltage restrictions also apply to the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 board? Sorry for my ignorance, but I could not find out the type of memory controller used with this board.

    Im confused over memory selection. According to the Asus the board is compatible with DDR3 Dual Channel (1066, 1333, 1600, 2200(OC)), and up to 16gb. You have recommended Corsair Memory XMS3 Classic 4GB DDR3 PC3-10666 (1333) Dual Channel. Is there any virtue going for faster memory, like...

    So looks more and more that the i5 system is the better value for gaming, especially for games like World of Warcraft. Given I go for a i5 760, which motherboard and ram would you guys recommend? Ive had excellent experiences with Asus and Corsair in the past and would probably want to stick...

    Yes good question. Gaming wise I mostly play WoW (little SC2 and some Modern Warfare2, but it's mostly WoW; I'll certainly be playing Diablo 3 when it ships). I believe WoW can make use of a 3rd and 4th core (made so in the latest patch, 4.0), but remains a cpu-heavy game (perhaps due to...

    Thanks for all the above comments. The option of going for an i5 760 crossed my mind (and it's noticeably cheaper), but would not an i7 system future-proof better? Or, is the difference between an i5 760 and i7 930-950 not worth the extra in cash terms? BTRY B 529th FA BN, which 120hz...

    Bias towards gaming, but I do use my computer for various things. I'm not a professional gamer in the sense I don't make a living from it. Video editing and photo editing likewise: More a hobby.

    I've got an old Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 based system which is showing it's age, and have thought about upgrading to an i7 based system. I thought about these components: Asus P6X58D-E Intel Core i7 950 Thermaltake Frio Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) Silverstone RV02 Raven With that I...

    Asus A8V, Abit AV8, or MSI Neo2 ?

    Interesting thread. I ordered and just got delievered a brand new MSI K8N S939; i'm not sure whether to return it and keep my Asus A8V rev1.02, or sell that and go MSI. I want best stock speed, and good overclocking. Got AMD 3500 right now, hopefully FX53 soon. Which one should I go...

    Asus A8V, Abit AV8, or MSI Neo2 ?

    Hi, I have an ASUS A8V rev1.02, which I am pleased with. Only the absence of a working AGP/PCI lock bugs me. Have u had any luck getting the MSI to work with ur 64Bit? If so, which of the boards do u think is better for stock speed, and moderate overclocking? Thanks.
