If anyone has an Asus X99-A motherboard, there's a new bios update which improves stability. X99-A BIOS 1203 -Improve system stability.

I've got a strange issue and I'm looking for help. I've got an Asus X99-A motherboard and my wireless mouse is losing it's connection with the wireless dongle/nano reciever causing my mouse pointer to jump across my screen. My last computer built with an EVGA X58 motherboard never had this...

Sorry about that. Here's more info. I have the following in my build: Asus X99-A motherboard EVGA G2 750w power supply Adata 16gb DDR4 ram Intel 5930K CPU Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler EVGA GTX 980 GPU 2 - Samsung 850 Pro SSDs Got everything built, plugged in the computer, hit the power button and...

Just built a new computer. I hit the power button and heard a pop. Nothing happens. I look at the motherboard (Asus X99-A) and the only lights I see are Power LED/PWR SW which is red and RST SW which is green. Pressing both buttons do nothing. I'm guessing my newly bought motherboard is gone and...

Raja@ASUS - Thanks for the reply! Couple of quick questions for you. 1) Will overclocking using just the multiplier affect the turbo boost? 2) What programs do you recommend to test the overclock? Also, for how long should I test with each program? By the way, I'm using the 5930k and only...

Looking to do a safe and light overclock on air on the ASUS X99-A motherboard. For cooling I'm using the Noctua NH-D15. I'm not looking to break any overclock records so I want to overclock using the multiplier only. No BCLK or ram overclocking. 1) What's the highest overclock I can get using...

Quick question before I buy today. I'm getting 16gb of ram and don't plan on overclocking the ram. Is it better to get two 8gb sticks (dual channel) or four 4gb sticks (quad channel) for a X99 motherboard?

Got a quick question? If I get a Seasonic 1050w power supply, does that mean the computer or power supply will run around 1050w or just use what's needed? Is 80plus Platinum necessary or is Gold and Bronze worth getting? Looking for quality but also something cool and efficient.

Took a look at Seasonic's website and there's a lot of PSU models. Which is the best to get for my build? I think having a fan on the power supply is what I need because I plan to have this build for years running all day just about everyday (Off every night though). This is the last piece to...

@Tsumi - It's a faster processor at 3.5, I might do a light overclock but in case I don't and stay in the safe zone, then I'll know at least I've got a good speed to stay at.

Thanks for your help Suprfire. I don't have a brand preference but want the best. I see Seasonic mentioned a lot so I assume that's the brand to get. I only need the hardware I'm using to work and don't plan to install additional fans or anything else so I'm guessing modular will work fine with...

I have no idea what PSU I need so looking for reliable good advice. Lian Li PC-8N case (2 - 120mm fans) ASUS X99-A Motherboard Intel i7-5930K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.5GHz (Might do a light overclock) Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler ADATA XPG Z1 16GB DDR4 2133 Memory EVGA 04G-2982-KR GeForce GTX 980...

Thanks lucidrenegade for letting us know that the video cards are showing up on Newegg. I managed to get the EVGA 04G-2982-KR GeForce GTX 980 Superclocked even though it was pricey but at least I got it before it went out of stock again. Hard to get this but I'm happy I did!

Just wanted to thank freakycody for the codes to get the discounts on this monitor. I bought one and it will be delivered this Wednesday (Oct. 29).
