Re: Crash and burn
you might price out that 2nd stick of 4gb memory to another matched set of 8’s — the price difference might not be that bad (I went with a full 32gb when I did my Z170 upgrade — love it).
Not sure on the POST to the dp — that would have to be a function of the graphics card masquerading the dp as a VGA port — POST is meant to go to the lowest common denominator and that is VGA. Maybe there is a graphics card switch?
And yeah, I maintain a full 120 fps throughout an entire battle now with teh 970 –its awesome. Every now and then I have to reboot the PC as dirty code loads up the GPU memory — but I can live with that.
