Holy balls, the Hardware Unboxed video puts Lukes video to shame. LTT really need to re-evaluate there format for GPU reviews.

Rig name: Casshern Cpu: 2600K @ 4.3Ghz Gpu: Gigabyte G1 Gaming 980 @ 1512/3500 Ram: 16GB Kingston @ 1600 Score: 9.4

Ya, played it for about 30 minutes. It's really not that good. Most likely wont go back to it.

They give you extra codes when you get in the beta, so here are the 3 spares I have for who ever wants: Q9F41PQLG1KJ N4ZRWA6I1KRN L4QX4MYYNNDA

If you wanted to downgrade back to winddows 7/8 after doing the upgrade, am I correct in assuming the original win7/8 key wont work anymore?

So if a company such as Asus decides not to release win10 drivers for older boards, will win 8/8.1 drivers work?

I'm more concerned with the fact that as of right now my mobo doesn't have windows 10 drivers. I hope asus will make them available right before or soon after the launch. I don't think win 7 or 8 drivers would work.

I knew that ram speeds don't always yield real world differences, just wasn't sure how much of a difference. I noticed there is also a 1866Mhz kit but seems pointless. I'll go ahead and order the 1600Mhz kit. Thanks everyone, greatly appreciated.

I need to replace the memory currently in my system. I'm running on a P67 - Asus maximus 4 extreme with a 2600K. Now I know the board will only support up to 2133Mhz oc'd, and that 1600Mhz is the default supported speed. My current set is 2x4GB 1600. So I have got my choice down to two: 1) Kingston HyperX Savage 16GB - DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9 @1.5V 2) Kingston HyperX Savage 16GB - DDR3-2400 CL11-13-14 @1.65V // DDR3-2133 CL11-13-13 @1.6V They are both very close in price. Which should I go for, any suggestions?

If you want a game sponsor rather go with someone like GMG or GOG.

Thank you. So using Valley and Heaven, I got it stable with no crashes or artifacting at +160 Core and +450 memory. So finally I tested Firestrike and of course then things broke. After turning the memory back down to +0 and then realising the core was causing issues I moved it down to +150. The core seems stable now at a boost of 1529Mhz. Tomorrow I will work on the memory again, hopefully aiming for around the +300 mark at least. EDIT: Now have everything stable and working great at 1542 core, and 8002 on memory.

Last thing, do I want to have priority on Power Limit or Temp Limit?

Thanks you very much. You've been very helpful. I'll start now with the core and then will try with the memory.

Do I do that while Valley is running? Or up by 20mhz, apply, open Valley, run for a while, close, repeat. And what would be identified as unstable? Artifacts, bsod???
