Yeah they are. Some are very experimental and may not be entirely stable , especially the pre Z68 stuff.

Hahaha this made me chuckle as someone that's been building computers at home since the mid 80's , I too have accumulated a massive cupboard and shed and room and garages full of left over bits and pieces. Just the other week whilst looking for something entirely different I found a brand new...

Hey mate. Not sure where in the world you are but here Australia when I'm hunting down older or used computer hardware my first stop is the local computer and electronic swap meets , where you can get hold of even older hardware than you're chasing. Otherwise great sources are Ebay , Gumtree and...

Excellent!! :)

BUMP Bump BUMP OOPS bump b u m p b u m p :D:?::banghead:

Hmmm interesting.:thumbdown: Apple have just lost the graphic design and music / movie editing sections of their market in one fell swoop with this iteration of the Mac Pro. First they make people wait years for any kind of serious upgrade and then when they do ; they make most of the users...

Article: How to pick a Power Supply Unit that matches your hardware I would add a little more comment to the discussion here. It is true that for the vast majority of users and home system builders , anything above 700watts in a psu is going to be overkill and you won't gain any 'real' value or...

Article: New UEFI updates for Gigabyte's high-end Z77 boards I'm one of several hundred people testing various updates for gigabytes boards :thumbup:. And their primary concern is with Windows stability and compatibility not Hackintoshes :thumbdown:. Sadly any issues experienced under OS X by...

Article: How to pick a Power Supply Unit that matches your hardware Yeah , the filters are fine.. :D Quite a nice setup really with the inbuilt magnets , but I don't need to use them as my Antec P280 case already has inbuilt PSU filters. And yep they are slightly more expensive PSU's but...

Did I hear someone say price gouging???? *cough *cough*cough Mind you the quadro cards are pointed at high end / commercial users..........

Personally I do like the Silverstone Strider Gold Evolution Series PSU's. Fully modular , great air flow through. Magnetic filter screen included. Excellent voltage clipping and ripple specs. The inbuilt capacitors on the leads helps to fully balance out any remaining power ripples. Overall a...

Gigabyte will be releasing the F10 version for the Z77X-UP5TH soon , just finished beta testing reports.

Article: New UEFI updates for Gigabyte's high-end Z77 boards Perhaps we do have different experiences Swede :) , but then I do alot of beta bios testing . :thumbup: You are correct though , it has become harder to truly brick Gigabyte boards for awhile , since they moved to dual bios...

Never!!!! Ever!!!! Ever use @BIOS to update your bios via windows IMHO , more boards have been bricked ( rendered useless ) by people using @Bios to update than any other method. Even Gigabyte discourage people from using the @Bios method because of instability issues with the program. Only ever...

Article: Building a CustoMac: Buyer's Guide 2012 Hey JD , I'm assuming the fans in question are the PSU fans? Or do you mean the CPU fans? :?: Does the Mobo get to P.O.S.T ( power on self test ) via the bios? :?: More info would be handy :) Anyhoo , first up check that all cables/plugs and...

Indyfilms17: " Suggestions to Replace z77x-UP4 I am thinking of components for my first build (started a thread earlier today) and was looking at the UP4, so would you suggest I shell out an extra $50 on my motherboard for the UP5 if that one has 0 problems, or will I be missing out...

Z77-UP4 TH has issues with USB3..... Personally I'd avoid it. :-) Also I'd avoid mixing Sandybridge CPU's with the Z77 boards ( even though you're supposed to be able to use them ) as alot of people are experiencing issues with that Mobo/CPU combo even in Windows machines. Update your chosen...

Hey guys , I'd seriously like to second ( and third , fourth etc etc ) the request to update the suggested builds motherboard listing as posted on the blog. Let people know that the UP4 mobo has major issues regarding the USB3 component please :) As the blog post stands atm , there is no...

digital DISTRINUTION only.... I thought this would eventually come about. Thats why i bought a copy of LION OS X on the Apple Thumbdrive. I prefer to have a physical copy over a digital copy. And yes I know it is possible to make your own usb drive.......but you have to download it first in...
