GA-X58A-UD3R Boot Loop

Hey all, I hate to post another thread on this issue, as it seems like this is EXTREMELY prevalent among these motherboards, but I have a situation that seems different from any others that I have read - everyone else seems to experience this issue upon first building the computer, or within a...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

The adapter didn't technically "come with" the card, its just made by sapphire for eyefinity, and it got really good reviews on newegg. Still worth trying a different adapter obviously. If I can get it to where the difference is negligible, I am perfectly fine, considering this will only be...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Yea - cable is brand new and adapter is a sapphire one that goes with the card, so I DOUBT thats the problem, but I will pick up some different ones on the way home just to rule that out. Assuming no adapter/cable combination fixes this problem, then is there anything else to do? I ask...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Alright, quick update: Everything is installed and working properly - really happy with how everything worked out. I do have one problem though: With the 5770 I have 3 monitors hooked up - 3007wfp-hc (2560x1600) into DVI, 2405wfp (1920x1200) into DVI, 2nd 2405wfp (1920x1200) into DP -> VGA...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Yea, for whatever reason, Chrome temp/cache was getting up to like 4GB, so I deleted most everything in there, and I ended up effing up stuff (making me even more frustrated).....its much easier to just never even worry about it :). So would you say 60GB would/should be enough for boot/adobe...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Ok, got all my stuff in, and after further debate, I think I've decided to go ahead and get an SSD - it just seems silly to do this big upgrade, then leave out something like the SSD that could legitimately help a system probably more than any other upgrade I did, just because I feel like they...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Hahaha, this is what I get for being so hesitant - newegg's 10% cashback ended tonight, which means I lost out on about $80-85. This is all your fault David for making me question my 5770 :).

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

See, thats what I thought, but then David put this: You seem to know your stuff mfenn (and it sounds like what you are saying definitely disagrees with David's statement), I just don't want to ignore what someone else said either, considering its regarding a very critical element of what I...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Ok, this is a bigger deal than I thought :)..... First, how much of NV's claims are hype (AKA is it really going to be much better than the equivalent ATI card?) and how much is truth: http://www.nvidia.com/object/adobe_photoshop.html. If that is pretty accurate, then it seems like a...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Gosh, you guys are killing me :)! I had everything so perfectly chosen, and now I don't know again! Anyways, here is what I had chosen (1-3 won't change): 1. i7-930 ($200) 2. Gigabyte X58A-UD3R ($200) 3. Scythe Mugen 2 ($35) 4. Corsair TX650 ($70) 5. CM RC-690 Advanced II ($90) 6. GSkill 6GB...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Ok, been talking with a guy who does photo editing and he claims he can easily chew up 12GBs RAM working in a big file. He also does video editing and says he gets through 12GBs there as well. The guy is pretty tech saavy overall, just not sure I believe him. I'm not even saying I would get 12GB...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Yes, the P55 board has those features. Yea, I'm assuming 8GB was slightly better than the 6, but I guess I could also easily upgrade to 12 if necessary. I THINK I am leaning to the X58 now.....in addition to my photo editing, I will also soon be doing alot of video editing in which case it...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Gosh, I always hate this part of the build......I've got it (basically) limited down to two options and just can't seem to decide..... Option 1 - the X58 Route: CPU: i7-930 ($200) Mobo: ASRock Extreme3 ($190) OR GB X58A-UD3R $(200) RAM: (still looking for advice) G.Skill 6GB DDR3 1600 Set...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Haha, ok so I guess not much truth...... With that said, would a program like photoshop or adobe premier (presumably in conjunction with other memory heavy programs) benefit much from tri-channel RAM and/or the added capacity space (which say could allow you to put in 12GB)? Also, is there...

New NON-GAMING (OMG!?!?) Rig -Advice?

Ok been reading around more....how much truth is there to the thought that the 930 will be better than the 750 for multitasking and programs (ie: photoshop) that use lots of memory bandwidth (because of the increased RAM bandwidth of X58 and hyperthreading on the CPU)? The 750 gets alot of...
