The obvious question should be! Do you OC the card? If so turn it back down to stock.

Ok I am assuming you either have a cablemodem/router(with coaxial connection) or a DSL modem/router which you have bridged. How it works is that the modem just translates the DSL/coaxial signal into ethernet frames and nothing else thus you get an IP from your ISP. If or when the power to the modem breaks it restarts the adjency with your ISP usually takes about 30 sec to a minute before it can establish it again due to the distance, latency and the syn/ack process. I think what is happening is that your router restarts faster than your modem can establish a connection with the ISP thus giving the router a failsafe private IP(dont know why this even exsists, but oh well). There is no way around this than to release the IP and renew it when the adjency from the modem to the ISP is reestablished, hope this answer was to some help. //D-tail

There is a right way to jam a intel cpu into an AM3+ socket? I KNEW IT!!! YES!!! bring fourth the sledgehammer!

Then I would suggest another 7970, CF:ing two diffrent card is asking for more problems than CF/SLI is already making(not gamebreaking problems, hiccups here and there). But if you have the spare money now how come you wont have it later? Because in my mind, if I have the money now I will have it later on also. And if I know I want an upgrade for future games I start saving for it and really try not touching that earmarked money, but thats maybe just me?

Yeah... "problem" is that I already have it so what I meant was - finally a game that can justify my 780´s WCed.

Well thats just it, how to you know two CF 7970 will be playing the games that comes out next year? Short answer you wont know it until you are there, that is one of the reasen I always recommend this during a "upgrade" because lets face it, if you are playing the games today you want in a satisfactory manner then its just a waste of money, but if you are not playing your games satisfactory today then upgrade. Its up to you, but it is still the unknown factor in play and like my last post, you cannot futureproof a computer becasue we dont know what will come out and what feature our current hardware wont support(it might be gamebreaking, might not). I can say today I play my games how I want them, but I cannot say that for the future. So if I was to judge for an upgrade today I would just save my money until I needed them. In the end its up to you if you can justify to YOURSELF that an upgrade is worth it, its all subjective. To the post, it is a good price put can you to yourself justify it if you dont need it? //D-tail

time and time again, people try to reference "futureproofing" with computer hardware, but to no avail. There are no such thing as futureproofing a computer it will fail in some point in time because there will be features that will start to surface and the hardware you spent lots of money on wont have. If you can play YOUR games now fine, then dont upgrade. Just do it whenever you see your computer dont perform to your satisfactory, its all personal preferences and a subjective argument, but its the only truth you can play around when buying computer hardware. my two cents. //D-tail

its a .z7 or -zip extension file, download one of those that says windows(if you have windows ofc) and unzip it.

sounds like a NAS. Why not test freenas? its got SSH and webgui and the ZFS filesystem is just awesome!

Yeah you are looking for the 4820K then then it is just about waiting!

Np, have sent a couple of card for RMA, including to XFX and they have all been OC:ed and have not once been denied a exchange or refund.

If you did not alter your card in any way that is visible then your good to go, there is NO WAY to check if the card has been OC:ed software wise. Just RMA it and you will get a new one.

IB-E will come to the current 2011(Asus already released an update to some of their mobos), but a new chipset will arrive 2014 with native 6 Sata3 and more USB3 support and whatnot. The 3820 is a really competent chip, doing 5Ghz on 1.45v although I have it under water, it does 4.5 easily on air. 4.75Ghz@1.4v is what I have it 24/7. Some comparison against Ivy and Has: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/intel_core_i7_4770k/ As you can see it keeps up really good! If you can get a good price on a mobo/cpu then go for it dont see it not lasting for atleast 3-5 years from now!

Using a 5970(AMD recommends 750 with OC) as a mining rig with a phenom 9950 BE powered by a CX430, have had it on for about 32 days with no hiccup. Although none of the components are OC:ed it is stable and the PSU is barely warm. So I would say, it depends on what kind of PSU you have, if its a good brand it should not be any problem, but if its a noname with 18 split rail I would say no buy a new one.

hmm what I meant was, use 2 sli ribbons or a double bridge.

once a year for about 1200-2000 euros depending on what I need for the moment.

Got stuttering when I first launched my sli 780 with 1 sli bridge, put 1 more in and it disapeared, might be the same for you?

A justification for buying 2x780 and wc them!

Thanks man! Now I just have to wait until it is released!

Haha had a moment and spent 275 bucks on rear admiral ! Gonna be awesome!

OMG this game and Star citizens... yeah my next two years are full!

This +1, for a consumer without the need to actually utilize a 500/500MB read/write the pro dont justify the price imho

Having a 1Gbit up and downstream with a 10Gbit backbone I think I am really lucky at my Uiniversity :) The bottleneck we have are the harddrives :/

Just go to the site that was sent to you and you can get them there!

Seriously? Its basically free games and you are complaining that they added 2 more? Oh come on!!! OnT: OP Great find, just revealed my codes and gave em to a buddy! :D
