Hey guys, I have just purchased a Core i7 3930k and a ECS x79R AX Motherboard. My current specs are: 3930k ECS x79R AX 8GB G.Skill DDR3 Ram Asus GTX 780 DCUII when I try to boot with the 780 installed, the motherboard readout will flash with a B2 error, which with some googling has lead me to believe this is a video card error, generally fixed with a bios update. I have confirmed this card working in an 1155 build, and tried an older video card (GTX 560 Ti Lightning) in the ECS motherboard, and the board will boot fine with this card installed. great so, only problem is. ECS have not released an updated BIOS, in fact, the most recent bios is from 2012, which I am currently running. does anyone have any thoughts on this? am I basically up shit creek? I would assume so, but posting anyway incase someone out there knows some sort of work around for this. thanks guys

If you have a budget of $900 just for those two components. Then I'd say you'd get better performance out of an i5 and a R9 280x or a R9 290. As I'm from Australia our prices are a bit different so excuse me if what I say doesn't add up

What's your budget and what country are you buying from?. Usually AMD is better for price to performance for GPUs, especially low end which it looks like your build is edit: posted this before I saw your above comment

I switched to a Note II in January, best decisinon ever, so much more that you can do with.

didn't see that, seems reasonalbe, thanks

Do we have an estimated price for it yet?

Another one, really? keep up the good work linus! retweeted here https://twitter.com/Samsciarrone

completed, hope you get enough data :)

wow, thankyou, hope the new business all works out well for you Linus :D

I'll have on if you get anymore :)

personally, I think it would be simpler to buy a 1TB VelociRaptor then partition that into two 500GB sizes, it would be around the speed of raiding 2 blue drives
