Motherboard suddenly won't detect installed RAM

I tried testing the memory sticks in every possible configuration, no dice. Since I don't really have a good way to test my ram (this computer is a MacBook) that option was out as well. So, I ran over to the electronics store and picked up some new 2x4GB PNY Memory. Plugged the new sticks in and...

Motherboard suddenly won't detect installed RAM

ASUS P8Z77-V Pro I left my computer on sleep when I went out, I came back and it had shut down. When I tried turning it back on, I was greeted with the Cannot detect any RAM installed beep code (One long two short). Since the computer wouldnt even boot, I had limited options. So I...

Fan Xpert 2 - Interesting Possibilities

I recentally got a P8Z77-Pro and was excited to start using Fan Xpert because I had a really loud 120mm fan that I pulled from another computer. The thing is, this fan was only 2-pins. Upon experimenting with Xpert a bit, I noticed some strange things. First of all, Xpert would recognize...

Some fan questions

First question: I have a Sensflow fan, I'd like to install in my case. The problem is that the plug is a male when it needs to be a female. Should I buy something like THIS or something like THIS and strip the wires? Second question: I have an 80mm fan I want to put into my front 120mm...

Do these cables look correct?

Thanks! I was kind of worried I was stretching the cables too much. The 8pin is lying on top of the CPU fan headers. I /think/ the fan cable will just be able to fit around it.

Do these cables look correct?

Hey guys, this is my first time building a case from scratch, and I was wondering how my cables looked. Good, bad? Did I do anything stupid? Also, my 8-pin EATX, cable was a bit short, so it's in there really tight. Is this going to become a problem? Thanks.

4x4 or 2x8

I know this answer has probably been asked, before, but I'm just comparing 2 kinds. Running on an ASUS P8Z77-V PRO Price vs Speed vs Compatibility vs Real World difference. Kingston HyperX (4x4GB) ~ $60 DDR3 1600MHz 9-9-9-27 -or- Komputerbay (2x8GB) ~ $65 DDR3 1600MHz...

Sub-$50 Case Conundrum

I've been looking at cases, and I've found 4 sub-$50 cases I like. One main feature that I'm looking for is the painted interior. Side window would be a plus, but it's not necessary, since I can make one myself. The challenge is now, which to pick? Which do you think is the best, based on...

So in other words, with OCing the 7850, there's no real world difference between the two.

Is the HD 7870 higher price tag not really worth the speed boost, then?

Help with finishing my build!

Not necessarily. However, I do have an old xfx radeon 4550 that I can use to get by until my next paycheck. ~ Also, the graphical programs I use are: Adobe Suite, AutoCAD, Revit & 3DS Max. I could, but since I ordered things online, I don't think the shipping costs would make it worth wile...
