Question.

Why don't you take a picture of all the cables and everything set up so we can make sure all cables are in the correct places

How we doing.

I've installed the drivers on the mobo disk and quickly installed CPUID, why is my CPU speed fluctuating between 1500 mhz and 3700 mhz? Also my multiplyer is fluctuating crazily too. I Dont't like all these fast moving numbers...


is rhis normal?

Yes, that`s Intel Speedstep. And it looks like your Turbo Boost is set to 3.7Ghz. Nothing to worry about.

Brilliant.

If you download Gpu from MSI, make sure it`s for Win7. Some else d/loaded the XP version by mistake.

 

[CosmicClown]

What the bios flash enabled it to do was to install a PCIE-bridge or something like that, as soon as I saw that installing I knew it would work

Thank god this forum exists. You're all so patient! lol

As the Gpu problem is common with this board, a little note in the Motherboard section or a foot note in the Mobo product description would help.

One more thing, WHERES MY FREE GAME

The 7850 said it would have one but I have no game in the box.

I think it is just a Steam code. Needs to be claimed through your Steam account, if you have one.

Hey guys, thanks for all the help btw.

This machine destroys any game I throw at it, DayZ runs at 60+ fps with everything maxed and bf3 runs at 50+ fps with everything on ultra, though is it normal that my cpu temp would be at 60 degrees when playing BF3 at those settings?

Glad to hear it's up and running

Is that with stock cooler and no overclock? I've never run a stock cooler, so I don't know what to expect from them, but I'm sure someone around here will. 60deg is still a safe temperature either way, nothing to worry about.
