Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
Sandy Bridge is going to cream AMD. I thought the AMD future was a Protostar ready to explode, but alas, it would appear that Intel have harnessed Dark Matter :(
Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
I survived layoffs and ordered the i7 2600K and Asus P8P67 EVO... Can't wait to see what this puppy can do.

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
Thats great to hear Sith, I'm sure you will be pretty impressed by it, it will stomp any of the 9xx series chips in to the ground and pretty much keep up to the 980X as well.
Let see some pics when your done building it

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
Got my i7-2600K built... will post some photos in the Intel section this weekend if time allows... Really like the Lian Li midtower case I went with... whisper quiet.
My AMD Phenom II x4 940 is now in the hands of my wife and kids... their Phenom II x3 720 is going to be down in the basement and I will SSH files over to it for encoding and batch processing overnight. Still gonna hit use the hell out of the AMD machines (since this is a hijacked AMD thread, I thought I would give kudos to AMD... she's been a great PC).
Have not installed Windows on the i7 rig yet... Just running Ubuntu for now... ran MemTest for 24 hours... we're all good for a Win7 install this weekend.

Congrats on the build Sith and good luck with loading windows this weekend.
The longest used PC we ever had in the house was a AMD Athlone 900 running Win XP. Retired it 12 months ago... Was a very stable little system...

I still have an Athlon XP 1800+ and 2800+ that work... running one Linux the other Windows XP... they don't get much use but are very solid and will be going to new homes for some friends of ours that just need basic web browsing machines for the kids to do homework on... Old nVidia nForce2 based system boards.... That was a classic AMD chipset!

We're in the AMD sub-forum so I will just indicate a i7-2600K, a wire wheel, a carrot, and a hamster spinning the wheel...
I'll put something in the Intel sub-forum in a bit. Shuffling work issues at the moment and took a minute to get away, but it is becoming a very short minute.

Intel Identifies Chipset Design Error, Implementing Solution
I guess I was not too far off... Now I'm the one who is jealous. Should have went AMD just to avoid this large forthcoming RMA process.

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
Now is the time you should clock the hell out of that unit and then RMA it in a few weeks!

Backing up my data first!!! LOL... seems to affect SATA degration... One thing I can add is I am having random lock-ups... Not sure if it is the motherboard/chipset or the CPU... don't think it is the CPU as AIDA64 reports the temps are under 31 C/ 88F with this monster cooler.

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
Man you are not getting a break with that setup are you...
Back it up, pack it up and ship it back.
I would also RMA the CPU and fan to newegg and say you want a new one considering the fan quit on ya. Tell them you have lost confidence in the well being of the CPU due to fan failure and lockups...

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
Think the CPU is fine, seems to be specific to I/O while I have a SATA2 HDD plugged in as well as my SATA3 HDD on the Intel port. I guess I can move over to the Marvel SATA3 port, but nah... I'll just retire the system until I hear what to do from NewEgg.com or ASUS.
Got Ubuntu running on the wifes older Phenom II 720 x3 BE for my needs now. Got the old Phenom II x4 940 BE running a few feet away should I have any Windows 7 needs for now.

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
Just built a new AMD FX-8120 in a Sabertooth 990FX board system. Np pics, but so far so good has BIOS setup and Win 7 OS on it.
Now I need to shut down my old PC and take mucho stuff from it. But it'll get there through this long weekend.

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
Meanwhile, got the beast up and running, but after M/B drivers I still could not get LAN active on it. So I updated BIOS from 0705 to 0813, rebooted, and now M/B seemingly won't post.
It no longer shows video, no matter what video card I use.

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
Try to clear the cmos. Does that board have Duel Bios? Maybe you can revert back. 0705 to 0813 seems to be a big jump, is it for the correct board?

Re: What !!!!! No AMD Fans ?
I cleared CMOS. It was no help!
Dual BIOS? How would I even access that?
And 0813 is the current BIOS from 11-17-2011. 0705 was two versions back (9-27-2011).
