    Question for owners of z170 mobo w/ASMedia SATA controller

    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...

    How to connect 3 - X-Star DP2710

    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? :(

    Best Chipset for data throughput (HD performance)

    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...

    How to speed up jpg viewing/rendering???

    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...

    Which PSU w/80mm fan for Chenbro SR107 ?

    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...
