New PC, ITS ALIVE!
So my motherboard fried randomly and with tax returns though i would get one last splurg in before my kid comes into this world.
AMD FX-8120 Hex Core 3.1GHZ 16GB 1333MHZ RAM NVidia GeForce 560TI I LOVE IT, loading up SWTOR to kick up to high settings and see it fly. |

Re: New PC, ITS ALIVE!
It runs SWTOR, CoH, and Rift on Ultra settings without a hiccup. I have never owned a higher end system and holy crap this thing is good. My MoBo is ASUS with some new overclocking features built in that auto tunes things and it has added some umphh to it.

Re: New PC, ITS ALIVE!
No i didnt have to flash. Sorry i didnt see your post.
It is a ASUS M5A97. Great board, auto-overclocks, has USB 3.0 support on a couple of the ports. I have zero complaints about it It has my cores running at 3.9 Ghz and i have no temp problems, without me changing a thing just letting the autotune taking over.

Re: New PC, ITS ALIVE!
Well I just got the same board, I wanted the sabertooth, or crossfire but I wanted the extra $100 it would have cost me more
 If it doesn't work I'm coming after you |
