Galdere Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 The Win7 RC is now available to download from MS, for those who haven't got build 7100 already. It's available til at least July and there are no restrictions on the number of product keys. Although it is licensed until 1.6.10, it will shut down every two hours after the 1.3.10.

Galdere Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'm not a week behind thanks. It was on limited (MS TechNet) release last week and general release when I posted. Here is the proof from the Win7 dev's blog: http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/default.aspx If you got it off p2p or something and you already had a licence then that doesn't make this old news.

bladteth Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Works nicely, just as quick as XP, but visually more appealing and CPU temperature seems to be lower. However, I have some problems with GPU drivers and Rivatuner. It's the latest version (2.24), but still claims that it does not support any Win7 driver I tried (185.85 from LV2G and 181.71 from WU). OC does not work until driver version is forced in settings and some functionality is missing. Moreover, when I removed the driver, the system would throw BSOD on restart and required rolling back to one of restore points in order to proceed. Anyone having similar problems?

Ugh, same here, this really annoyed me, the only setting i can change is fan speed and to be honest that's no use what-so-ever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
