    AMD and Intel always remind me of soviets vs. US from red alert

    AMD throws tons of cheap conscripts at an objective to get the job done

    Intel is like the US uses a few special OPs and trained soldiers to get the same job done

      Funny story how I ended up with mine. Had a decent asus motherboard that I wanted to use, so I figured I would stay AMD. Got the best damn AMD chip I could find, just to find out my current board would fry itself trying to power the thing.

      So since newegg doesn't accept returns on chips I went ahead and bought the sabertooth 990fx. The system does well, coupled with the 970gtx it runs everything I throw at it on max settings without breaking a sweat.

      Had I known I would end up with a new combo I would have gone Intel. Still happy with it though. Intel like a f1 car, while AMD is like a dump truck. One moves fast, the other moves alot. At least that's the best way I've heard it described. I like your analogy as well.

      Now I just need to toss another 970 in there and be done for 5 years.

        Ha, Im happy with my 4760K but I want more cores. Thats why I'm probably going to build a small xeon server. By small I mean dual 6 or 8 core monster with like 64GB ECC ram.

        Could probably host a handful of Source engine servers on it and a TS3.

            the 32GB problem is probably your motherboard config, go into bios and check it out. Might not be set up for 32gb.

            Also rip FX 6300. Save your pennies for the 8350.
            I figured out two of my fans are only 3 pin, so they run full bore from boot up! I'm thinking about buying a new silent style case with some noctua fans.

            I tested all 4 of the 8gb sticks and they all boot up and are recognized, so I don't think any are bad, but once I put the 3rd (and 4th for that matter) stick in, the BIOS only recognizes 16gb, and windows shows whatever ram amount is plugged in, but says only 16gb is in use. Not sure why it's doing this.

              Did they come in two separate packs or one big pack?

              If you are getting 16gb it could be that you have configuration wrong. Sticks come in pairs usually from what I remember, which means they have to be in their respective DIMM slots.

              So one pair in the 1 and 3 slot, another in the 2 and 4 slot.

              The other thing It could be is your BIOS isnt updated to latest version.

                  Hahahaha, thats why you follow the motherboard installation guide instructions kids.

                  Usually you want them as far away from CPU too, so 2 and 4 if only 2 sticks.

                          Two separate packages, but identical sticks.



                          I have a feeling that my BIOS isn't in complete agreement with the ram, but it's still all a foreign language to me, not too sure what to change. I'm learning though!

                          The BIOS version is the most current, checked that already. Would the procurement method of this win 7 ultimate cause these problems?

                            No OS shouldnt matter as long as it supports 32gb+

                            Try doing the paired slots thing, put the two that end in 0521 and 0522 in 2 and 4, and the 0532 0531 in 1 and 3.

                            Could be your ram slots are dead but I doubt it, after doing the above try one ram stick in each slot and see if you run into an issue.

                              Just noticed that SSD's prcies took another dip down. 250 GB is only $60, $150 gets you 500 GB. So worth it at that price.

                                ;D my next planned upgrade only thing slowing my PC down right now.

                                also was trying to set up an access point in my new house, using powerline adapters, and a linksys with the modem/router from my phone co. spent like 2 hours getting pissed, should be easy, change DCHP, SSID, and IP address. but no kept effing up. realized finally my access point had the cat5 plugged into my ethernet port instead of one of the LAN ports, plugged it in and bam it worked...
