Thanks for the response and the help. Two other BIOS options I've seen mixed answers on - The PCIE_X16/X8_1 Link Speed, should that be set to Gen3 or Auto? PCIe Speed option, is it best to leave that on Auto or should I use Gen1 or 2?

I've posted this on two other forums with no luck but does anyone have any suggestions about what to set the Gen3 Compatibility Mode option to (right under NB PCIe Configuration - PEG-ASPM), I'm using a Asus Maximus VI Extreme Intel Z87 mobo. It's not mentioned in the manual and from what I...

So far it's remained stable at up to 4.7GHz (without hyper-threading enabled). I'm going to run some more tests at 4.5GHz with hyper-threading enabled this week when I get a chance.

Sorry for the long delay with the response, it took me a while to get the GPU to finish this build (specs below). Anyway the NT06-Pro fits no problems on the Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe/WD and it clears the USB 3.0 header also. I'm used to full tower builds (I'm using a Corsair 800D in another...

Thanks for the suggestion. I did see someone on another forum using the Noctua NH-C12P SE14, but it doesn't look like it will fit in a SG08 with the fan attached.

Does anyone here know or can confirm that the NT06-Pro will fit on a Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe/WD? I'm planning a build with the P8Z77-I and the SG08 and would like to use this heatsink/fan.

It's funny you brought this up, I just saw this comment from one of the savvy individuals over at AVSIM - http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=276675 Then again this is the same imbecile that claims he is god's gift to high end hardware since he spends his days fixing Pentium...

I'll agree with you that it's “shens” but to be ignorant of what's outside “our little community” is exactly the reason why there's responses like the ones I linked to in that forum.

If you think that's bad, take a look in one of the hardware sections at one of the “flight sim” forums.

No not “just for the sake of arguing” just when bull shit misconceptions start to spread, which in the case of that forum it's almost with every post.

From looking at the rest of the responses he gave on hardware I'd say he either has way to much time on his hands to come up with this bull shit or he mis-placed his meds.

Those of use who aluminum cases should take a look this information, someone should contact Lian Li and SilverStone about the potential fire risk, I hope this doesn't put them out of business, lol. Scroll down to the bottom of this page, the response from “johnwhelan” is where it fun starts...

Thanks for the response. After looking at that info it doesn’t look like my idea about going AMD would be much of an “upgrade” at all from what I already have.

I was wondering the same. My Q9650 setup listed below is due for an upgrade and I was thinking of going the i7 route again but this time with the new 980X and the Rampage Extreme III. After checking some prices on the “highest” end from AMD I found that for less than $400.00 I could have...

Yes I had the same issue with my Samsung 32” 1080p HDTV and the new 9.12’s and the 9.12 Hotfix drivers. You can remedy the problem by using the display “Underscan - Overscan” slider in the CCC under “Scaling Options”. Oddly enough I did not have to do this with the 9.10’s or 9.11’s and my...
