Problem installing OS

I had this exact same problem on my recent install. It would let me select the drive in the windows install, seem to be installing to it, then not boot from it when it rebooted. The problem was that I had selected HDD as my first boot device, but there was another spot in the bios where you...

What do you think of the Saitek Backlit Keyboard?

Most recent motherboards will support USB keyboards during bootup. I know my DFI nf3 250gb did, and the new DFI SLI-DR does, as well as my wife's ~year-old Asus board. As for the Saitek, I've been using it for a while now and it's a nice keyboard. I think I'll probably be dropping it soon...

Hyper-R SLI Power Supply...

Well, I replied to a thread about this PSU about a week ago, so I'll give you the same answer I gave the last guy. I have the blue version of this PSU powering my SLI gaming rig right now, and I can say hands down this is the best PSU I've ever owned. The rails are rock-solid and it's...

Hiper Type R 580w Full Modular PSU

I've been using this exact PSU for about a month now and it's definitely the best PSU I've ever owned. Voltages are rock-solid on my SLI system and it's extremely quiet. Two thumbs up from me.

Strange Network Issue

Hi JP, Thanks for the response, unfortunately that was one of the things I checked out first. That issue only applies if there are 15 or more DC's in the domain and we only have 3. I searched the net and Microsoft and couldn't find anything that applies to the situation. Any other...

Strange Network Issue

Hi guys, I wonder if I might be able to pick your brains on a subject that's got me totally lost. We've got a single PC on our network that has a sporadic issue (every 2 or 3 days) When the user boots it up in the morning it starts normally, logs into our network normally, but when it...

CPU HSF Decision

We're not talking about the exhaust air. The problem is that the Asus A8N Premium motherboard has a heatsink in the top left corner of the board that cools the chipset (via heatpipe) and the mosfets. This heatsink has to have air moving over it or the chip will overheat (or so says Asus...

CPU HSF Decision

Well right now I have the XP-120 on my s754 system. I do have the Premium, but I have to buy the parts for my new system a few at a time as my paychecks allow, so the Premium is still sitting in a box until I get the CPU and video card. I will say though, that the XP-120 is head and...

CPU HSF Decision

I've seen that XP-90 issue as well INM8, people have been complaining because for some reason the XP-90 mounts with fins running vertically on the Premium and that causes airflow up and down and leaves the heatsink for the heatpipe/mosfets sitting in a pocket of dead air. I haven't seen it...

Is this thing even any good?

I'm currently working on a mod based on the clear/blue version of this case so I'll let you know how it's running once I get some hardware in it. When I'm done it will be mounted with 6 (yes 6) 120mm Nikao Blue Chrome Fans (1 front intake, 2 side intake, 1 back outflow, 2 top outflow) as...
