    ^she's a beauty. Very impressed actually, more than I expected from Nvidia. Performs better than a 7970 cf and is just a tad bit shy of a gtx 680 sli. A fairly negligable amount (around 2%). Would look nice with two on my formula . Mosfet block is in. Now I need to order some more fittings, sleeving and fluid and I'm good to go!

    Did you buy that ROG board yet?

    Yep. It's sitting by me right now. Was going to install my water block but then I remembered I have no thermal paste left

    Nice. They laid the DIMM slots out like the X79 boards.

    It is an x79 board haha. Went with a Rampage IV Formula. The new 3570k/3770k didn't quite end up overclocking like I had liked. So I bought an i7-3820 too fill in until the ivybridge-e processors are out next year.

    Welcome, brother.

    What is going to be the performance difference between Ivy Bridge-E and Sandy Bridge-E chips on the X79 platform? Because I read Ivy Bridge-E chips are going to be made available for X79 boards.

    Yep. X79 will support ivybridge-e cpus. It'll allow pci-e 3.0 and native usb 3.0 support. Your guess is as good as mine for the performance though. The gains between sandybridge and ivybridge were minimal. Ivy is better clock to clock, but due to heat issues, it won't oc as high as sandybridge cpus on air. Reasoning for that is they moved from 32nm to 22nm processes for manufacturing. Higher density of transistors in a small area = less surface area for heat disapation. Not to mention no one knows how rough the voltages are going to be on the lifespan of the processors due to the decrease in transistor size. Loves LN2 from what I hear though. Not sure about water cooled computers but it'd definitely be better than on air. Between sandybridge-e and ivybridge-e we won't know until around the time of release.

    I wish online retailers would start selling GTX 680s again. My B-day is in two months. Those bastards better be in stock.

    If God needed a PC.



    I still don't see the need to need 12 cores, 2400 watt PSUs, ect. Your ass better be working on quantum mechanics or CERNing @ home.

    I just talked to an IT support specialist over at Intermedia.com to get some mailboxes restored. The agent was French and she had the voice of a angel, I propose from here on out all phone support agents be taught French so they sound sexy.

    does anyone know why all of a sudden when i type accents it automatically gives me two.
    For example ' becomes ''
    and " becomes ""
    and ^ becomes ^^

    all in a single press of the key

    It's annoying, because it doesn't allow me to type accented words anymore and my language uses quite a lot of accents...

    I apologize I almost completly forgot I asked for help here and missed all of your posts for a week.

    So yes the solution was to remove that facebook app crap. You got it right.

    During that while I still posted pics through my laptop but it isn't the point of a cellphone with a decent internet connection and yes Wolverine I'm at AT&T

    Thanks !

    Is the Galaxy S2 any good? It's not an LTE phone, though -- hmmmmmm. Not that I'll see LTE in my lifetime in my backwater town.

    SIII is about to come out, though I'd say the S2 is still a damn good phone. LTE does 'wonders' for your battery life btw.
