shoulda used uTorrent instead of crappy Vuse atleast with uTorrent you don't need to piss around with port forwarding just turn on upnp

Thanks Bubba seeing as most third party coolers these days are aimed at the enthusiast as is most high end ram which generally doesn't come on stock green PCB's and have some rather large heat spreaders attached it's nice to see how it affects the use of these non standard dimms although I do wish t...

Just WOW I love the color scheme now if only the fans were just white with different colored LEDs instead great performance but hows it stack up against the D14 which is what I take this to be aiming at competing with and nice to finally see a shot showing dimms of the tall variety and dimm slot ove...

Tator Tot wrote:V7 was made before AMD's Bulldozer parts were out; so it doesn't have SSE 4.2 added in yet.

that's as maybe but SSE4.1 or 4.a for AMD has been around longer than V7 why it wasn't used is a mystery

[email protected] isn't using anything more than SSE2 had [email protected] been able to make use of SSE4 This is the problem with all software. They have to write it so older CPUs can work. The only software that tries to push the boundaries is a dediacted AAA PC game. Most other apps, not so much. that's why it surprising s...

you have noticed that [email protected] isn't using anything more than SSE2 had [email protected] been able to make use of SSE4 or above you'd see a huge improvement in PPD or so I assume or maybe it makes better use of OpenCL type calculations

mostly for us Kiwi's it's extra transport costs and retail rip offs there really isn't a big reason why there's such price disparity between NZ/Aus and the US

FX8150 + 990FX mobo + DDR3 = shitload less than Intel platform How? From New Egg, 8150 $279.99, 2600k $315, 2500k $219 Amazon has the 8150 for $269.99, but then you could pick up a 2600k at a Microcenter for $279.99. New Egg seems to be the preferred choice so I'll use that for comparison. Cheapest...

If this launched back when Intel launched the 2550k/2600k processors, the pricing would have been more competitive. Right now, I can't see a compelling reason to choose AMD over Intel. that all depends on what you plan on using your PC for considering whats in my sig I don't call myself a enthusias...

Hmm... Were you guys reading the same review I just did? If you look closer the performance isn't much better than a Thuban X6. That's pretty disheartening considering it's running two more cores at a higher frequency. Maybe this can be tweaked with a BIOS update. Intel overall is still the more ex...

Well looks like I'll have to give up smoking now so I can afford an new Mobo, CPU, Ram

the last Asrock mobo I had was back in the socket 7 days and cost me $110 the equivalent Asus mobo was considerably more expensive but more n more I've been looking at their top tier AM3+ mobo

I wouldn't expect much of a difference between IE9 and Maxthon 3 as Maxthon is just a front end GUI for IE's files hence why it's so much smaller as an install.exe compaired to IE9 Opera 11.5 is great though and only getting better by the update can't wait for a x64 bit version for windows now that ...

In the beginning there was Asus and not wanting to skimp on component quality they stayed Asus Then there was Asrock the spin-off same board design as asus just cheaper quality components onboard but over the years Asrock has become a major brand name in mobo manufacturing they now compete really we...

Atomic PC in Australia are calling this game a disappointing/crappy console port so really I wouldn't bother updating drivers just to play this

Each of the boards uses a different Gigabit Controller (Really they all look the same to me :shock: ) . Let's take a look at what controller is on each of the boards. ASUS Sabertooth 990FX - Realtek 8111E Gigabit LAN Controller MSI 990FXA-GD80 - Realtek 8111E Gigabit LAN Controller ASRock 890FX Del...

hmmmm interestin are these PCIe or standard SATA

nice three of these would slot nicely into my RV02 one for the CPU and one each for the GPU's

I appreciate the input. I looked at the disconnected output(downloaded the ATI hdmi driver today) it's there and says not plugged in. The problem may be that I have a DVI to HDMI adator as a adaptor and cable in one. I have read that the adaptor and cable in one may not regognize sound. I am going ...

Just D/L the new open beta V7 it's much easier setup wise and runs like a charm on win7 x64
