I now have 2560x1600 via Display Port on a 30" Dell flat screen and 1920x1200 on a 24" Dell flat screen in an extended desktop configuration.
This is pretty impressive dual head setup for an on-chip graphics co-processor. This PC is going to be an office machine replacing an old ASUS build, so no gaming is required.
I wonder why it didn't like the DisplayPort-2-DVI cable were my other machines use it fine?
Also, the ASUS specs page indicate "... Maximum shared memory of 1696 MB ...", but in the BIOS, the max memory they allow you to dedicate to Graphics is 1024MB. The Spec and the BIOS seem out of sync.
Well it is working now. This is the 1st of 2 Sabertooth Z77's that I will be building out. I wanted to get the kinks out of the first one before pulling the trigger on the second one.
Now to see if I can get it any quieter by replacing fans and stock cooler. Any recommendations on a silent CPU cooler that will fit ?
The onboard audio via Toslink Optical out into a Wyred 4 Sound MicroDAC sounds really nice. Again, pretty impressive for an onboard audio solution.
Thanks again,
Tim
Not sure about the memory part.
Just about any CPU cooler will fit. If you're not overclocking, you could just passive cool it without a fan.
Silver arrow and D14 are popular choices for high end air cooling. H100 for closed loop water. Hyper 212 Evo for cheap and quiet but not as cool of a solution.
