The product names have become shorter and clearer, so you can easily remember and pronounce them. We supposed then that the company’s product nomenclature might be revised in the near future. Intel, the developer of chipsets and CPUs, hasn’t treated us to anything special lately, but we may get something exciting from mainboard makers that have prepared numerous innovations for the release of the LGA1150 platform.īrowsing through ASUS’s model range recently, we found a model with the simple name of Z77-A among the P8Z77-V series products. We can hardly hope that the LGA1150 platform with its minor improvements and substantial downsides can revive the stagnating PC market but we have to deal with what we have, so our job now is to test Z87-based mainboards. That’s all the difference, actually, unless you attach importance to the fact that the word “Express” has been dropped from the names of the new chipsets. However, there are now six instead of four USB 3.0 ports and six instead of two 6 Gbit/s ports. Compared to its predecessor Z77 Express, the Z87 offers the same total number of USB and SATA ports: 14 and 6, respectively. The H87 is the basic version whereas the Z87 is the most advanced chipset for computer enthusiasts. The Q87 and Q85 are designed for corporate applications. Most of them are chipsets for mobile and embedded systems. Intel’s 8 series chipsets, known previously under the codename of Lynx Point, come in 11 varieties. As for the good news, the performance of the integrated graphics core has been improved substantially while the support for new AVX2 instructions may make Haswell CPUs faster than their predecessors if implemented in software products. It has become harder to overclock them, even in comparison with the Ivy Bridge series which was hardly overclocker-friendly in its own right. Intel’s CPUs have become a little more economical when idle but need much more power at high loads. There are but minor improvements on the microarchitecture level, so the performance benefits are negligible as well. The new generation of CPUs with Haswell core come at about the same prices and have the same clock rates as their predecessors. Despite certain positive developments, Intel’s new platform doesn’t look good to us. In the manual it says that the DRAM LED should be on when a ram dim isn't inserted.In our recent review of the Intel Core i7-4770K processor we detailed the highs and lows of the LGA1150 platform at large. It's a new build so, it's a first time boot even though it could go directly to Windows if I plugged my ssd to it.Įdit: Forgot to say that I tried using that MemOK! thing and I read the manual before asking here. No signal, no video, nothing but fans spinning with CPU led. I tried reseating ram, cpu, out of the case, with little to nothing connected to it, switched ram sticks around but yeah. I am getting no dram led light or even signal from it, I have my CPU led red, the boot device led isn't working either. Normally, people that had a problem with the DRAM led was something like: Always red, flashing,etc. So my real problem now is pretty wierd from what I've seen. I had planned to keep 8GB adata ram dim and my HDD from my last computer. I bought computer parts to make myself a new rig.
