Would love to know how this and the i7 performs compares to something like a i7 5820k (OC'd too) which was at one point a very similar price to the 6700/7700k. Great review as always tho, 2017 has been a great year for the consumer for sure

This is very interesting actually, maybe it was a blessing in disguise that i never got far enough in the process to try DOS-flashing haha. Going to give this a shot now. Ill disable all the start-up programs in task manager and restart so hopefully there's nothing in the background and ill...

That's a very good question, and one i do not have an answer too haha. Ill order a new USB on amazon now instead of taking the dumb route Thanks for all your support so far by the way, i appreciate it greatly :)

Certainly seems that way, i should probably heed their warnings :roll: Your avatar is absolute gold btw!

Still no luck it seems. Even restarted comp a couple times and tried plugging the USB into the motherboard rather than the case front i/o but it hasn't made much of a difference. I'll try getting my hands on a new usb, or if i'm feeling ballsy then ill go against the rules of the guide and do it...

Aren't we lucky fellas! If i can get the flash to work, i'm actually tempted to cash in on the low 480 stocks and upgrade to a 1070 or used 980ti :roll: Im loving the 480, but you can never have too much power:rolleyes: Oooo, i'll give that a try ASAP. I figure'd there would be a way to...

I bought my my card on release day for £175, you cant even buy them for less than £250 now ;) Probably the only time buying on impulse has had a positive outcome :laugh: Well i just gave it a shot and didn't get very far :[ Tried formatting my USB with the HP tool (in administrator) but got an...

That gives me some confidence in going ahead with it :) Ill give it a shot after work tomorrow and ill be sure to report back how it goes. Thanks!

Saving face was probably the wrong phrase to use, i just meant clearing themselves of responsibility (I dont mean that in a negative manner either, that is the sensible thing to do). And of course i will take all the necessary safety steps so recovery is possible. What i'm meaning to ask is- is...

Got a day 1 4GB RX 480 from XFX, havent taken off the cooler but what are the odds of it not being flashable? or if it is, then the odds of it failing realistically. Everyone warns of problems but it seems to be more of a saving face thing rather than a likely possibility. Asking because don't...

Feel kind of let down by the visuals in this. It has an aesthetic and graphics similar to Killzone Shadow Fall yet that game did it nearly 3 years ago and on relatively weak hardware. Here's my own *heavily compressed* screenshots from when i played KZ:SF, feel free to point out where Deus Ex...

Mmmmm.. I still feel like I got a better deal by getting a 4GB 480 for £175 on launch day :p

Would it be warranty voiding to remove the cooler to check the memory chips though?

Yeahhh i found out after i made the post that the 4GB results i saw on other sites was simply a modified bios altering the memory to emulate the 4gb model. I was curious because of the negative scaling in Hitman and some other games, thought perhaps one card had less ram and that forcing the...

Is this tested with a 4GB and an 8GB card? Or are both cards being used the 8GB variant? Im not sure if that was clarified or not in the article, i may have missed it
