Well if nothing else, I did get a laugh out of your response. Have nice day!

It is too bad that the review was not approached in a more professional and pragmatic manner, as I would have enjoyed seeing tests at 240 vac OC, and single rail configuration tested, in addition to the normal run of tests. I never realized that braided cables, single or otherwise were cool...

The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act is not dependant upon, nor has any relation to false advertisement claims. That would be another statutory cause of action altogether. The MMWA, as the title implies, only applies to warranty claims. In layman terms, you return the product because it is defective...

I concur, and I am having a hard time understanding why people are surprised that an AMD card on an AMD platform performs as well or better than the same card on a more capable Intel system. If this were a test of cpu computing power, and people were running multi-thread apps, then I would be...

Thanks for the input, and was thinking along the same lines. IWhen the SRX is released it is going to be diffcult to restrain myself, and most likely I will not.

Bought this new, old stock, and everything is working fine, but the osd will not come up. I am thinking it is locked or otherwise disabled via rs-232 interface, as the monitor was used in custom home theatre installs, and was never sold retail to the public. Figured I would see if anyone has...

I believe I have the most recent bios, but I admit I have not checked since the release of the 7970. But I will check. I hear ya, and my thoughts exactly, no diff, why worry, oh yeah cuz I paid money for a board that is 3.0 compliant, and have video cards that are 3.0 compliant, but they do...

Dead Horse, but to thrrow a wreath on it, at least in sandra, the cpu strap shows as a supported feature. To my understanding the strap is controled by the X79 chipset, not the cpu. Finally, the processor has a 150w TDP, indicating an extreme profile, Intel specs reserve the processor for...

First things I do with new builds, install windows, install ethernet driver from disk, update bios to newest version, install drivers, video cards right after Intel info is installed, and everything else in somehat patterned order. As for the ASRock E9, I have determined that oc'ing to 105 is...

Having a curious issue, that I am having a hard time figuring out due to lack of information on the web. When I enable the GEN3 in bios on my ASRock x79 E9, the system will post and apparently boot to log in screen, but this a guess because the monitors go in power save for lack of signal from...

Personally, this experience has been one of the best I have had, and certainly as good or better than the experience I had with the GTX 590.

The experience with CFX so far is great. I have not had any stuttering or other rendering issues, but I did experience lock down last night after a couple of hours playing Arkham City in eyefinity. I decided I wanted to play more, so I went ahead and cranked up the fans to 100% manually...

Thumbnail pics are too small, cannot make out what you are attempting to show. I have resolved myself to the fact that it is not the board, but the processor itself. Even though it puzzles me how it could work on one cpu and not the next given that the x79 chip is what controls the strap. It...

I say upgrade every year, sell off your old system, and you will find the cost is less than you imagine. I usually only take about a 20% hit, and I budget 2.5k for my builds. Last year I broke even. Do I need to? of course not, but thats because I keep current on whats in my box. I enjoy the...

I provided Sandra scores above, were you looking for something else? Latency is going to be an issue, as the 20mb is shared across 8 cores, rather than 15 across 6. The ratio is the same 2.5 to 1. Correction: Just noted that I did not provide cache latency, just bandwidth, but question...
