Ive got the Asrock 775dual-vsta and the 775i65g...Id say do the upgrade its only 15$...you'll get more bandwith with a full PCIe 16 and Im hoping a lil more stability...The 775dual-vsta which I have sucks with some newer vid cards even after flashing it to the latest bios 3.19a.
on a side...
In for one!! now all my old processors have a home. I was just wondering what sort of video cards this mobo can run...PCI Express x16 doesnt necessarily mean it can run the latest and greatest which are PCI Express x16 2.0 does it? Any list for supported graphics cards flying around?
Just to stop any confusion which some people might have...you DID NOT miss a deal on free shipping of fans and heatsinks at newegg because this thread is over a YEAR OLD :shocked:.
I was thinking to myself how the hell did I miss something like that and just realized oh ok this thread is...
LOL, wierd cas 7:shocked:? wtf hmm maybe not that HOT of a deal anymore. According to some reviewers on newegg they were able to get to the specified speed with some tweaking. For 21 dollars and some knowledge of bios tweaking its still a decent deal :)
side note: for all those people that...
Newegg.com has the OCZ Fatal1ty Edition 4GB PC2-8500 DDR2-1066 240-Pin Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit with two 2GB DIMMs, model no. OCZ2F10664GK, to $74.99. Add it to your cart and it drops to $58.99. Together, coupon code "MEM12198" and a $30 mail-in rebate further chop it to $20.99. With free...
I recommend this cooler for 14 bucks you cant go wrong. Like I4AT I wish I could buy another one :). Just remember for any one buying this ITS FREAKING HUGE.
On a side note I have my zen in a push pull configuration. I have my q6600 (1.325 VID) vcc 1.3875 at 3.4ghz with idle around mid 30's...
According to the reviews on many OCZ products it seems the company is pretty shady with their rebates. I personally dont know as of yet because my rebate which I sent out a few weeks ago on a different product hasnt been sent to me yet(keeping finger crossed). So I suppose the best advice to...
GA-EP45-UD3P is now back to $99.99 after rebate and free shipping. I highly recommend the board. On a side note Id also recommend going to Gigabyte's website and download the latest Bios, Chipset driver, and lan driver rather then using the drivers Cd which comes with the Mobo.
I 2nd I4At the Zen cooler fits perfectly with plenty clearance...You might want to change the fan once you get the cooler with more air flow and less noise. :)
Hey. Great looks like a winning combo :)
Was wondering if some one might know will the downfall of Continental Promotions Group (rebatestatus.com) effect this boards rebate? Hopefully not.
Also as some of you might be recieving your boards now or might have recieved them already and...
well if you have a couple boards in particular to compare you should shoot over to the gigabyte comparison site.

one key difference is the UD3 means ultra durable 3 ( 2oz of copper and better quality components used)
better of...
deals undead, kind of atleast at $13.99...What are the chances it'll be knocked back down to 5 bucks with free shipping? right now its basically the original cost of 5 bucks plus shipping.
for any one that already has the fz120 Is this cooler worth the extra coinage? How effective is it? does...
hmmm I might have to cancel my order...and reorder :P
Now that I did some research on the q8200 I dunno if I like it. Ill hold off for now. Ive got a few cpus laying around that need some loving.
Yeah bro sharing is caring...Budget overclocking is what keeps me interested in computers. Any one can make a great $3k system what I enjoy is making a $1k system that would kick the others comps ass!
(ATTENTION BUDGET OVERCLOCKERS)
Well Im not sure if this falls under hot deals but what the hell. Newegg.com is selling the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P for $119.99 with a $20 rebate and free shipping ($120-20=$100) . (They are also giving away a free 2Gb USb flash drive which isnt that great but...
an e4600 will make life alittle bit easier when it comes to overclocking...but if its worth $50 more then the e2180 is very debateable...Check out frys or microcenter if you have them around where you live, they have very good deals on processors quite frequently...
Yeah thats all good and all but when I used that vmod mine didnt work on my Asrock775i65g for the first time till I found this beautiful excel file. Basically the pin mod depends on your cpu's VID so different VIDs need different mods. So all you have to do in this Vmod pin calculator is enter...
Funboy42 I dunno whether to love you or hate you but you Sir always find a way for me to spend money...Just bought 2 :). If this board is anything like the experience that Ive had with my Asrock 775i65g then it'll be very worth it. Another Voltage Pin Mod here I come!!
*UPDATE* So yea I finally got this god damn volt mod to work. Turns out the mod depends on what your particular cpu's VID is. In my case the VID for my cpu was 1.2 (others will differ). I actually used rear defogger repair kit and regular pvc tape to cover the pins. Through my readings on...
I tried the 1.4 volt mod but its a no go. the vid appears to be 1.2v and the mod I tried was for a 1.35 vid so Im not sure what to do. For some reason the stuff I used just didnt wanna dry out all the way it was very soft even after a half an hour or so. I think I might just order some of that...
A $4500 gaming rig...Now thats pretty sexy. I dont really see much on the storage system you intend to use for your rig. With a budget like $4500 I believe looking into a Solid State Drive would be beneficial to you in decreasing game load times. check out a few reviews on them here @ Anandtech...
Thanks guys I will give this a go tomorrow sometime. I hope your wrong myocardia I really really do. Dont wanna spend money on buying ddr memory when faster ddr2 is soo much less. I agree with your statement about the heat though, Im sure i'll have to upgrade to a better cpu cooler. well Im of...
thanks myocardia, ill give the volt mod a try. One question though if for some reason the volt mod doesnt work is it possible to remove the material used to connect the pins? What volt mod do you think I should be going for to achieve 3.2ghz. Also if possible could you please link me to a...
