Nice combo for a good price, but motherboard died after 2 months use. ASUS very slow to cover warranty - will be several weeks without PC. Also voltage options for overclocking are very limited. Why sell BE processor with MOBO that does not really support overclocking?

I got this combo as an upgrade from my old A8N-Sli and must say it does outperform my old rig. However I was not as impressed with the ''Black Edition'' processor as most people seem to be. I haven't messed around with the overclocking just yet - still burning it in, but according to Tom's Hardware, its the mother of overclocking - so we will see. Overall I am pleased with the upgrade and you CAN NOT beat the price - don't forget the fan !! 5 out of 5

For the money you can't beat this deal! Had some problems with my Microsoft Wireless Receiver and the audio drivers playing nice together but, disabling and then re-enabling the audio card fixed it. Buy this thing already!

If you buy this with the Thermaltake Ruby Orb CPU Cooler then you're set because its very quiet and I overclocked this bad boy 3.2Ghz with an avg 30-40 degrees celcius. I haven't done any gaming yet but from what i've herd this should be able to run any game out there with cheap SLI 8800GT

What You Should Know


Before you buy - make sure your motherboard is compatible with this memory. For example, DDR Memory won't work with motherboards designed for only DDR2, SDRAM or RDRAM memory, and vice versa. Only use the memory speed recommended by your motherboard's manufacturer. Please read the specifications carefully or call us for expert advice.

Know Your BIOS!
With today's rapid pace of design advancement, new product updates come fast and furious. This is especially true of board-level products, like Motherboards, Video Cards, GPU Processor Cards, and other main edge connector products. The good news is that manufacturers have designed in the ability to easily update your product BIOS, which is sometimes important for full compatibility. So before installing or combining components, it is always a good idea to check your product's current BIOS revision against the manufacturer's website, to determine if an update is needed, or advisable. The manufacturer's documentation will guide you through this process if it is necessary. However, remember that most products are designed to be plug-n-play out of the box!

But What Is BIOS?
Most electronic devices, from computers to MP3 players have software embedded in their hardware. These are programs that tell the device how it will function - from basic to advanced functions - so that it knows how to start, and perform the most simple and complex tasks it was designed for. We call this software the BIOS (sometimes also called Firmware). In computer jargon, BIOS stands for "Basic Input/Output System", but in reality, there is very little "basic" about it. In your computer's motherboard for example, it tells your computer how to: start up; communicate with hardware components, such as hard drives and video; how to move data in and out of memory; and even talk to your USB connected devices. Without your BIOS, your device is JOOL (just out of luck!).

Keep in mind that changing a PC's BIOS settings incorrectly can cause the PC to malfunction. If this happens, a BIOS reset is usually available, and will need to be performed to return the BIOS to the default "factory settings." This is usually activated by a jumper on the motherboard.  [Warning: always read your motherboard or system manual thoroughly, before upgrading your BIOS, or making BIOS setting changes!]  Though normally, most incorrect settings should have no negative affect on your PC, but please follow each step explicitly since some can.

Remember: It is recommended that you reboot after each individual BIOS setting change to ensure that your system functions normally. If you make numerous changes before rebooting, and your system will no longer boot, you won't know which change is responsible for the failure.

Updating Your BIOS
Before you consider updating your BIOS, be sure you need to - not every update will be needed or even benefit you.  Also be sure you are up to the technical challenges you will face.  Changing the version of BIOS stored in your computer or motherboard is not the kind of activity recommended for novice users.  To perform this successfully, you need to be comfortable and familiar with your BIOS settings, and be able to download and apply the BIOS Update without issue.  For this reason, it is best to let professional computer technicians do this work for you, if or when it is needed.  However, if you know what you are doing, it is a fairly easy task.

Before Updating BIOS, consider the following:

  • The reasons for updating your BIOS - frequently, updating is unnecessary
  • Identifying your BIOS chip - if replacing is the approach required
  • Replacing your BIOS chip - this requires significant care, and can void your warranty
  • Locating your latest BIOS version - required for any update
  • Flashing your BIOS - make sure you have a UPS!
  • Live update - great for minor or quick updates - again a UPS is vital - a partial update can make your system inoperative
  • Configuring your new BIOS settings - read the manual! twice for good measure!

Upgrading Your Memory to Improve Performance
As programs get more complex, you’ll discover that your trusty PC may not be working as quickly or efficiently as it used to. While your impulse might be to purchase a new, more powerful computer, you can dramatically improve performance simply by upgrading your memory. For far less than what you’d pay for a new computer, a memory upgrade will often have your PC working faster and more efficiently than ever before. Plus, it’s relatively easy to install new memory and only takes a few minutes of your time. For our step-by-step guide to simple memory installation click here.

Understanding Computer Memory
Because memory is such a crucial element of our computer's performance, we all understand that we need it in generous supply. However, questions remain about what kind of memory is best, what functions each memory serves and which memory is used for notebooks and PCs. Click Here for more information that will answer your many of your questions.

How Much Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed. However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different (lower) from these values. The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory, which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings, by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.

But always remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a limitation of Windows itself.  Also note that different Windows programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be confusing. If you find that you need more memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .

SLI MCPs | Motherboards
To enable NVIDIA SLI technology in your PC, you'll need an SLI-Ready certified motherboard with an nForce SLI MCP and two physical PCI Express x16 slots. NVIDIA motherboard partners offer nForce SLI motherboards for both AMD and Intel CPUs.

What is SLI Technology?
NVIDIA® SLI™ technology is a revolutionary platform innovation that allows you to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system with an NVIDIA nForce® SLI media and communications processor (MCP).

How Does SLI Technology Work?
Using proprietary software algorithms and dedicated scalability logic in each NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) and MCP, NVIDIA SLI technology delivers up to twice the performance of a single graphics solution.

Note:

  • The NVIDIA SLI connector is not used with some mainstream graphics cards.
  • 3-way SLI motherboards must have 3 PCI-E x16 slots.
NVIDIA SLI-Ready MCPs:
  • NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI
  • NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI
  • NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI for INTEL
  • NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI for INTEL
  • NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI for INTEL
  • NVIDIA nForce 680i LT SLI for INTEL
  • NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI for INTEL
  • NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI for AMD
  • NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI for AMD
  • NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI for INTEL
  • NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI for INTEL
  • NVIDIA nForce 500 SLI for AMD
  • NVIDIA nForce Professional
  • NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16
  • NVIDIA nForce4 SLI
  • NVIDIA nForce4 SLI XE
  • * The above values are for physical, not usable memory.

    The amount of memory that your system reports, is not always the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a limitation of Windows itself.  Also note that different Windows programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be confusing. If you find that you need more memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform.
