I recently completed a build with a Gigabyte z170x Gaming 7 board. It's a great board so far, but there is one BIOS setting missing that I would really like. It's a setting that allows you to ENABLE/DISABLE the ASMedia SATA controller. The only setting I see available is one for the onboard...
Search as a have, I am still unclear of what PC component(s) are most helpful for large image collections, run on multiple monitors. Every review regarding video cards seems directed at gamers, which I am not. I am a photographer with large collections of HD jpg's. I notice lags when opening...
I want to hook up 3 of these. They require a dual-link DVI connection & my GTX650 Ti boost only has 2. I tried using a Display port adapter to DVI, but that didn't work. Any suggestions? :(
I will be running 7+ SATA drives (2 of them optical), & am interested in the best HD performance. (For file transfers, multimedia and backups.) I'm wondering if the X58 chipset is better than P55 for this. Also, since I will have more than 6 drives, what's the best secondary chip, Marvell's...
I have a secondary hard drive that contains thousands of digital photos. One thing I've never been clear on, is what hardware component(s), are responsible for the rendering and/or viewing process.
Many of my photos are quite large & there is a lag when scrolling thru them. There's also quite...
I just built a new system on an ASUS P5Q Deluxe motherboard. I have 2 SATA hard drives & one SATA optical drive: SH-S223F. BIOS is set to ACHI.
Vista Home Premium installed fine, but Windows isnt't usually able to recognize discs that I put in. It reconizes the drive fine, but again, often...
Just got a BadAxe2 & want to replace the thermal crud with some Ceramique. Got the NB done, but can't figure out how to safely remove the clip from the SB.
Which of these would be better for a budget box I'm building with a Sapphire 690G chipset motherboard & a Brisbane X2 3600+ ? I would like to OC the processor.

I purchased a Corsair HX620W & was planning on installing it in an Antec P180.
I've since decided to use a Chenbro SR107 case instead. Problem is, it looks like the shelf that holds the PSU is solid & would not allow the 120mm bottom fan to breathe.
So now I'm looking for a PSU with a...

I originally bought all the parts for an AM2 build, because I could do it cheaper than C2D. After running the new system for less than a day, I decided to go C2D. Sooooo, I decided to...

I've got all the componets ready...just not sure which of these 2 will be better in the long run. I suspect the Epox may have better components & be built a tad better than the UltraII.
Not sure if the NF4 or NF5 is a better chip.
PS: I don't need SLI.
Parts waiting:
2x1gb Patriot...
I am putting together a new build & will be using a Seagate 7200.10 400GB SATA2.0 for the data disk. I want to buy another HDD to be used for the OS & Programs, also SATA.
All I really need is an 80GB drive for the OS, but I am interested in speed. It's not worth it to me to spend the...
I bought the P5GDC-V Deluxe, but haven't opened it yet. I ended up buying a 560J, (arriving Monday), & am having 2nd thoughts about my original board selection. I bought the P5GDC-V because I already had the ram listed in my sig. Also, as I'm not a gamer, I thought I could save some $ by not...
