    Amazing Bargain of the Day!

    Irony is, that is the first thing I noticed. I don't console and haven't gamed in who knows how long, so I am ignorant of what Sony, Nintendo, etc. produce. Best regards, -boggsie

    One of my SATA 3g ports has already died. Asus P8P67 Deluxe.

    I am watching this closely as well. I have one drive on the 3gb/s ports and it has taken to simply disappearing in the midst of significant write activity. Best regards, -boggsie

    back in the game ... need a gut check ... Noctua D14 on i7-2600k @ 4.7 Ghz = 66c

    I used the big-button auto overclock feature in AI tools and it would ramp up to 1.41 v or so, when at peak Ghz. I lapped the hsf and ihs with some 2000 and 2500 and got temps down to a point where I am comfortable letting the OCCT run and after two hours, my peak temp was 71c. Best...

    back in the game ... need a gut check ... Noctua D14 on i7-2600k @ 4.7 Ghz = 66c

    I see you are sporting the D14 in your rig, so thanks for coming in to offer your thoughts! I am thinking seriously about at least adding a third fan and maybe replacing all three of them. Tonight, I am going to lap the IHS and the D14 with (steps leading up to) 1800 grit, just to see what...

    back in the game ... need a gut check ... Noctua D14 on i7-2600k @ 4.7 Ghz = 66c

    Thanks for the link. I realize now how much information I left out. i.e. ambient temp, voltage, bclck and multiplier I'll have to come back and add that a bit later. Best regards, -boggsie

    back in the game ... need a gut check ... Noctua D14 on i7-2600k @ 4.7 Ghz = 66c

    I just need a gut-check. The last time I messed with OCing, I was doing peltiers and water-blocks. So, after being out of the OC game for at least 8 years, I decided to plunk down some $$ on a sandy bridge and wanted exceptional cooling, so I bought a Noctua D14. Under full load with HT...

    Will Sandy Bridge go on sale at Midnight tonight?

    I've been focusing on other areas with my $$ so I am in a similar boat; very happy to have a pc, but it is a celeron 450 @ 2.2 ghz (two years running) and I am due for an upgrade! Best regards, -boggsie

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    The P260 was by far my favorite monitor. I transitioned to LCD panels, because the thing set of so much heat and had ruined a couple of el-cheapo desks (weight). The cable is DVI-I, which includes analog (DVI-A) and digital (DVI-D) pinouts, but you need to make sure that the DVI on your video...

    What generation of desktop CPU does your most modern one use?

    I tried that at my local Micro Center and the CPU desk clerk told me I should check back around the 5th; "they shouldn't be available for retail until the 9th, so we won't advertise until then, but as soon as CES opens, I imagine that we'll be able to sell one here or there wiithout raising too...

    What generation of desktop CPU does your most modern one use?

    I just sold my E8400 to solidify my transition to Sandy Bridge. Best regards, -boggsie

    What makes sandy bridge so good anyways?

    By all accounts, I will see an increase in 15% clock for clock, vs. the next available alternative. It was an easy decision ... even though it means waiting a couple of more weeks. Best regards, -boggsie
