    Windows 8 drivers for crosshair v formula ?

    Here: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?11732-Windows-8-Drivers Until the Os is released, won't be official drivers.. However, I installed both releases, and had no issues with the OS recon almost everything automatically.. Those made for Win7 worked well for me in the hardware...

    sabertooth 990 fx windows 8?

    Sorry, I'm trying to understand this.. How's that I was able to install Win8's Preview Consumer/Preview Release on my CH Formula IV (890FX), being this model older than the Sabertooth with a 990FX chipset???... In another disk (partitioned and created under Windows 7), as a second OS.. Besides...

    How often should you renew your CPU's's Thermal Compound?

    Well, one think is "should", and one completely different is "must".. :D Why??.. I live in a very polutioned city, and every 3-4 months I "must" take apart my entire machine, pice by piece, do a full clean, and assembly it.. It's amazing the amount of dust it can grab, despite the case filters...

    Best drivers for new gpu ?

    So far, 12.6 have worked well for me.. I usually update only from my GPUs manufacturer website, but I just give it a try due to the reviews.. And don't forget to install the latest CAPs too.. ;) Best regards.. :)

    How to overclock a 7850 past 1050MHz?

    Indeed it is high.. Even when this new chip generation could run as hot as 100ºC (being safe temp up to 105º, if I remember correctly), you shouldn't have reached those temps, unless something is wrong with your airflow/ambient temps.. Despite I used to have a 6870 stock running as high as...

    How to overclock a 7850 past 1050MHz?

    No, you missread my post.. ;) My stock voltage is 1138mV, and my OC voltage is 1220mV.. "and having it at 1200/1400 put the voltage up to 1220mV" And yes, I do have the same card as you, an Asus 7850 DC2.. And my 65º max temps are at full load AND OCed.. Not at stock.. My guess, you have...

    How to overclock a 7850 past 1050MHz?

    It wasn't stable.. See, OCing is tricky.. That's why I told you not to stress and test with only one program.. Using games bench's gives you a better aproach to see how stable your OC is.. I told you about BF3 MP because it's what I use, but can be any other you have.. I test with Dirt...

    How to overclock a 7850 past 1050MHz?

    Mine has a stock voltage of 1138mV 870/1210, and having it at 1200/1400 put the voltage up to 1220mV.. Stress your card using Heaven (like 3-5 bench's) and do some games bench's too.. And, stress it (if you can) with BF3 Online, in a big map.. So far, every attempt to increase my speeds were...

    Another "advice" thread.. :)

    That's my worst fear.. That I wait until it's out, and then it won't outperform IB, or at least equals.. :( Not that I'm desperate, but I don't like to get behind in tech.. ;) is only projected a 10-20% increase over buldozer Yeah, I saw that somewhere else, too.. And that doesn't seems...

    Couple of SSD questions.....

    No differences at all, afaik.. Maybe a new version controller, but that only means a few MB/s more or less.. From the rest, nothing to worry about.. You want to put it on your laptop, so only you can see the dimensions on the HDD space. Meassure it, and check the dimensions on the SSD...

    Another "advice" thread.. :)

    Thanx for the reply.. :) The point is, obviously, that I will need a new plataform, no matter which one in the next months.. My 965 has served me well this last couple of years, but I think it's holding me back a bit. My main concerns are mostly in the near future. For example, if I go for Ivy...

    Another "advice" thread.. :)

    Hi, guys.. Well, I'm in a crossroad. My system is in my sig. Now, I've been thinking about doing an upgrade to my system: CPU+motherboard. But, I can't make up my mind about the road to follow. 1.- I could update my CPU up to a 6-cores, and keep it until loooong next year, including my actual...

    Bios update - will it reset my oc

    +1.. Even when I didn't know my motherboard will save my OC profile, I toke some pictures of my Bios with my camera in order to re-setup once the update was done.. Surprise!!!.. The update didn't erase it.. :eek: So, despite the mobo "shouldn't" erase it, better be safe than sorry.. ;)...

    Bios update - will it reset my oc

    Sorry, but I have to ask: are you sure it doesn't have slots to save your OC config??.. Because mine has it, and it's a ROG seires, like yours.. And when I updated my Bios, just loaded it and have it back.. Have you see under the Tools Tab??.. If not, then a phone with camera (or a camera...

    Seagate or WD ?

    I bought 2 WD Black 1TB drives because of the goods reviews, and bench's.. And had a pair of Seagate drives a couple of years ago, and they both died in a difference of weeks between them. So, never trusted in Seagate anymore.. New story: one of my Black decide to stop working without any...

    OC a phenom 2 x4 955 C2 with H100

    Well, that depends.. I can achieve almost (795) 800 Mhz of OC on my 955 (from 3.2 to 3.95).. I have seen 965 CPUs up to 4.1-4.2, so I think it's worth it, specially for the price.. That 960T, for example, can be unlocked to a 6-cores CPU, but only if you're lucky enough... ;) The point is, if...

    Multiple Displays

    may allow Yes, I know that for "normal" cards (so to speak) but the fact that those Flex-Editions can connect up to 3 displays without using active adapters, maybe those girls can manage that set up.. That's why I tell him to speak to Sapphire, to see if they have something under sleeve...
