I don't understand why new m/b coming out today are still populate with USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 are backward compatible? Why not just put USB 3.0 everywhere on the m/b instead of having a mix of 2.0 and 3.0 ports? The only reason why I'm guessing they still put USB 2.0 is because the USB 3.0...

The white connector on the top. I searched google images and it's not the mico JST, nano JST, or PH connector. Went to Fry's and they didn't have it either. I was trying to build my own cables and need the connector that connects to the one on this picoPSU. Thanks!

Anyone know what the 2-pin connector that is right next to the white wire used for? I don't have a volt meter so I can't measure the voltage and amp coming off from each pin.

I'm building a new system using the Intel D525 Atom processor and was wondering how do you determine if you need the ATX12V P4 connector connected or not? The motherboard, Intel D525MW, has the 4-pin connector, but not sure if the Atom processor really needs the extra 4-pin for power since it...

Hi, Does anyone notice a somewhat squeling noise as the power turns completely off during a shutdown using this motherboard? Is this normal for this MB? My Intel 975BX2 doesn't have this noise upon shutdown. It's like it's taking its last breath of air before it dies out. Power supply...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone have any recommendation on a UPS. It doesn't seem like there are any reviews for these things. I need something good for my PC that is in my signature and willing to spend up to $500 if the features and price justify the cost. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've been looking for some reviews and couldn't find any reviews on these 5x3 or 4x3 enclosures. I want to add one or two of these to allow me add more storage space to my system and the ability to hotswap out drives that are and are not in RAID configurations. 1. Would the OS be able...

Hi, If you own a Striker Extreme, could you post what revision of the motherboard you have? Lastly, is there a sticker on the outside of the box that tells you what revision of the board it is without having to open up the box? Thanks!

Hi, I read the manual for the Striker and all it says was the PCI Express(blue slot), 1st and 3rd, is used for a graphics card. It's unclear if it can ONLY be use for graphics card or can I stick any other PCI Express card into the 1st or 3rd PCI Express slot such as a raid card. Does...

Anyone find it odd that NVidia SLIZone website hasn't listed the Asus Striker Extreme on their website under the certified MB categories for over a month now? I've been watching this website and they never added Striker to the list and I know they've added other stuff. So, it's not like the...

Hi, Could someone please tell me if there's a revision number on the board itself? If not, what about a date code(excluding the date code on the chipsets)? I hate buying revision 1.0 and prefer to wait for a newer revision before making the purchase. Thanks!

Hi, I'm debating between these two CPUs and having a hard time deciding. I haven't found any detail review on the Xeon 5355 yet. So, this is making it hard to compare these two CPUs. The reason for the Xeon is the possibility of adding a second 5355 to the motherboard later. But right...
