About LinkBacksThe good news is that updating the BIOS means my RAM now runs at the correct specified speed.
The bad news, it's ruined the stability of my overclock! Sigh

The energy efficient CPUs are certainly unexciting and just plain confusing with their lower clock speeds. No like
Realised that this was happening every time I powered off. The next time I powered on I got RAM fail and the machine wouldn't boot. Turning off the PSU and back on again and eventually the machine would start (albeit warning you that overlocking had failed - just save the same settings and exit EFI and everythings fine). Weird. Eventually pulled the battery from the board to reset, redid my overclock/settings and it powers up perfectly - every time. Looks like a hard reset of the CMOS is needed after a BIOS upgrade (i'd recently flashed). Rock solid now!Originally Posted by dangel
Had a few problems last night:
turned it on - red light next to dimm slots and black screen. turned the psu on/off and got into the bios and undid the overclock. Then updated to the latest bios and all seems OK again - time will tell.
Should of kept me mouth shut eh?

At what speed? Go to the benchmarking thread and get your name up there dan!
Either that or it's Asus living up to its new found reliability problems with P67.
Hope it does stay rock solid (heart touching) for you.

TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
4.2 - modest overclock for now whilst it beds in
Even at that it's ****loads faster than my Q6600 IMHO. I feel dirty tho - i'm using the same Win7 install because it booted and 'just worked' lol
Well i've been gaming all day and no problems whatsoever - looking goodEither that or it's Asus living up to its new found reliability problems with P67.

Hi guys is this mobo any good? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigab...-sata-raid-atx
not too sure about that one, ddr3 only up to 1333mhz, and no crossfire capabilities, I think you would be better off getting the Foxconn P67
vengeance or dominator? i can't decide
1600 ------- 1866
i really like the dominator style but afew ppl have said to go for the vengeance as its 1.5v
Go for the lower voltage stuff.

I was just about to buy a 2600k...so thanks I guess
Does this mean I have to wait until late Feb to build my PC??
Oh.. bloody marvellous.
what happened?
Intel have found a flaw in SB motherboard's SATA controller. Expect 5-15% ish failure rate over 3 years. Product recall. No more sandy bridge for a month or two.
Everyone's just found out - us the same time as the motherboard partners and OEMs. Going to be a lot of people unhappy but at least it's getting nipped in the bud.
