Just finished setting up my board and i'm getting an annoying little icon in my taskbar - "safely remove hardware". Both of my sata drives are listed in there. Anyone know what the scoop is? are they "hot swapable" (seem to recall someone mentioning that somewhere). Is there a way to not...
Ordered mine from NCIX (based in BC) on Tuesday and it should be here today (providing the tracking info is correct). Great thing about ordering from them is that you can use your online banking and pay them just like you would pay a phone or utility bill.

In both MBM5 and Asus probe, the Chasis fan speed is being reported as constantly jumping between 0 and 168750 (not a typo). obviously the fan itself is not actually doing this. Should i keep using that header to power the fan or use an adapter and a 4pin molex? It's a rear exhaust fan that's...

I've read that AMD is changing the cores (clawhammer vs newcastle) and the newer ones have a stepping of 5AR instead of my 5AP. Should i have waited for a newer version? As...

I've got DirectX9b. I removed the existing drivers and reinstalled with stock cpu settings and with antivirus, firewall and mbm completely shut down (closed all unnecessary processes in Task Manager)
Still no sound....

I've been working on this for 5 hours now...tourettes is kicking in big time and i'm frustrated beyond belief.
I cannot get any sound from my system. the only hardware change is that i'm now using a Maxtor Atlas 15k drive as my primary drive. It's connected via an LSI 21320 Ultra320 SCSI PCI...

I've got a 9800pro saw on another board that someone said "you MUST remove the Shim to get good contact between an aftermarket heatsink and the core".
Is this sound advice or does it just sound stupid? I just removed my card to check it out and that shim is on there pretty damn good. Also, i...
Although i've heard of Arctic Silver being conductive and causing problems if too much is applied leaking onto other components, i've never been advised to NOT use it before???
