Is this closer to what your looking for? http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/963986-pics-bc2-very-large-gains-i5.html This guy did his own comparison with his Q9650 setup and his new i5 2500k setup.

That's totally normal, what alot of people aren't doing is using an AVX enabled LinPack. If you do, you'll notice when AVX kicks in your temps spike 10C higher and your GFlops pretty much double. A 5Ghz OC is totally fine if you DON'T ever plan on using anything with AVX. As a side note, you...

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I'd like to get one for the crazy speeds. However after the OCZ 25nm hose job, I'm thinking of waiting and seeing how the new 25nm and 20nm based drives perform across more makers before dropping that kind of money to replace my Vertex2. You might want to do the...

I would have to agree, I'm about 2 months into this new system, check the specs and I have to say, I do some 3D rendering for light modding but a 2600k would have just been overkill. Crazy is 100% on the money. 8Gb of memory and an i5 2500k will give the power you need. If you REALLY want to...

Go into Options, Advanced, General, Uncheck hardware acceleration. Also if your having problems with site crashes turning this off helps a ton.

Are you in IDE mode or AHCI with your SSD? If your setup is anything like mine, your OS is on the SSD but most of your installed games are on the 1.5Tb. If your SSD is in IDE mode, so is your 1.5Tb (unless you connected it to the Marvell controller). I noticed a small pause every now and again...

Not sure if your affected by this or not but..... OCZ Technology Group Official Statement – Driving down the cost of SSDs As the industry transitions to the 2Xnm process, OCZ is notably the first to market with this technology that aggressively reduces the costs of our consumer‐grade...

Just thought I'd cut and paste this for any Gigabyte owners aswell who haven't seen it yet who are waiting on a timeframe for new boards... -- Notice: Motherboards Based on Intel® 6 Series Chipsets -- -- GIGABYTE Acknowledges Intel’s Alert for Regarding 6 Series Chipset -- Taipei, Taiwan...

Just a heads up for anyone in Canada who purchased through NCIX and hasn't seen this yet..... http://forums.ncix.com/forums/?mode=showthread&forum=116&threadid=2309652&pagenumber=1&msgcount=1&subpage=1...

Not sure if this will help you, but if it's the .net framework stuff hiccupping from a windows update try going into the C:\Windows\Framework (Framework x64 if your in windows 7 x64)\v2.0.50727 directory in a command prompt with admin rights. Type "ngen executequeueditems" minus the quotes. It...

I just tried it and got the same result on my Vertex2 74s, which is totally wrong. Dumped the program, used my stopwatch, from reboot to putting in my pw and getting into windows took 16s. Timed out my Velociraptor, that hit 26s. I'm not sure if it was the same for you but that program added...

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't think XFX would be that crazy, they're making a killing on the ATI end.

So I was hitting up some PC shopping sites a few minutes ago and I stopped at SabrePC to see if anything new came in the last 2 weeks or so. I found this..... https://www.sabrepc.com/p-240-xfx-nvidia-geforce-gtx-480-15gb-gddr5-pci-express-x16-retail.aspx I seem to remember an article...

You could also try this if it will work for you.... http://www.e-itx.com/cab-pwr-m4-2p.html

QFT and +1 for that. I'm just wondering why all these fanboi's who started this crap are all silent now. I think in the end, they're silence overall answer's the question of how important W1zzard is compared they're idotic screaming. Good luck W1zzard, although I lurked for many years before...
