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).

Don't settle for less! Get the best! And AMD is quality that can't be beat! AMD Radeon HD 7970 for the win!

The whole point of having an email desktop client is being able to have all your email available on your computer to archive or read offline (very useful for traveling where online/wi-fi is unavailable). At the moment, what would be the best replacement for Thunderbird? Hopefully something with...

I'm a long time user of Thunderbird and have been reading the comments on Gizmodo, LifeHacker and other places. Seems like I'm seeing Zimbra Desktop come up a lot. Is this truly the next best replacement for Thunderbird with major support, a strong following, and quality development?

Interesting! I've been following the conversation closely. As for me, I did look into the HRT Music Streamer II and it just seemed like a lot of extras to get for good audio. I want great sound but also want to keep it simple. The Swan speakers have the small plug and all I needed was a...

Well, I was prepared to spend $200 on a soundcard but everyone has convinced me to try the Xonar DG. First time I'll be getting a soundcard for $25 but after reading the reviews, it's the card to get. Checked Newegg and noticed there's a $10 rebate. So the card will actually cost $15. Can't lose...

Still comparing but have a few questions. I see Xonar DG recommended everywhere. What's the difference between this card and a Xonar Essence ST or HT Omega Claro+? I don't use headphones but do want the best sound possible for music (mp3, etc.), movies (Xvid MKV, etc.) and the latest games...

I can't thank everyone enough for the replys. I compared the entire Xonar line of soundcards and thought I had a card picked out until I got more suggestions. At the moment, I'm completely blown away at the specs and reviews of the HT Omega soundcards. I still have to compare the HT Omega line...

Thought my Klipsch speakers went out so I got the kick-ass Swan M50W 2.1 speakers. Found out it's my Auzentech X-Fi Forte soundcard that died. Love the Swan speakers by the way! So what's the latest and greatest soundcard to get for around $200 or less? Thanks in advance to everyone willing to...

Problem is I've never soldered before and wouldn't know exactly what and how to replace what's needed. I'll probably take apart the sub though and have a look. I've also got a neighbor across the street that may be able to repair it (plus he has the tools). Thanks for the reply!

Already checked the fuse. If it was the fuse, I would have no sound but I get a reverberating, throbbing heartbeat sound. Music sounds completely distorted. Funny thing is everything was playing great, then one day, I turned on the power and the speakers just died. I haven't opened it up but I'm...

Well it looks like there were no other suggestions/advice for speakers so I went ahead and ordered the Swan M50W that '450' recommended. Thanks for your help and link to order the speakers '450'!

I checked out the suggested speakers and really like the Swan M50W. It's a little more than I was looking to spend but if it's the best to get at that price range, then I'll order them first thing Monday morning. Couple of quick questions: Where do I order these speakers at the best price...

My Klipsch 2.1 speakers died. What's the best speakers to buy that matches the Klipsch or better? I listen to mostly music but would like a well balanced COMPLETE system (not looking to piece together everything). Looking to spend around $230 or less. Seen a few posts about the Swan M10. Like I...

Hmmmm, I'm eyeing this app. The cold season is coming. Might be time to jump into folding again soon to keep the house warm and mow some people down in the process (for a good cause of course :D). -D j K i l l a-

/runs out door and jumps into sports car with pickle jar in hand You're right, I'm out to get me a QQucumber!

/takes out fishing pole at the [H] watering hole First I get mowed down by a QQucumber, now I'm being chased by a catfish! Catfish449 to be exact. Who knew that I would get addicted to folding and end up running for my life to keep from getting mowed down!

What have I done! I just woke up and saw this post. Hard to believe what an idiot I can be sometimes. I'm also remembering a dream I had about a clock moving through space with the hands moving quickly and a street sign that says 'PpD mowing ahead!". I seriously have to stay away from the jesus...

Ubernerd alert! It's a sad, sad day when I'm going out getting tanked, working on picking up girls (mothers included), and thinking about how many PpD I'm getting folding. Long live rock -n- roll my folders!!!! -D j K i l l a- P.S. I'll worry about my posting later when I've sobered up. Don't...

Long live the [H]! Hoping for a killer win!

Just to be sure. If I wanted the time to be synced each time I start the VM image, I would enter the following: root@FAH:~# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT /etc/localtime root@FAH:~# ntpd root@FAH:~# echo "ntpd" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

I'm using the following from the EVGA site: Linux FAH Image v1.1 - Includes folding client 6.29 I did change the current VM Player 3.0.1 to 3.0. Other than that, it's just not syncing the date/time. My guess is within Linux in the VM, you probably have to manually set the timezone and the...

I'm trying to get HFM.net to display the correct completion date/time when folding on a VM. Is there anyway to sync the date/time of the VM to the date/time of my computer or my local time? I'm not sure if it's the VM or Linux running in VM that needs to be synced to my computer/local date and time.

I know I'm small fish and fold away in my little corner of the world but was surprised at how fast QQucumber came out of no-where and mowed me down. I've also got Catfish449 and Caducus on my ass! Time for another -bigadv to move up and give me some distance. Anyway, just thought I'd post and...

Is it possable to switch from SMP 8 to SMP 7 during the day to encode video and rip DVDs and back to SMP 8 at night without losing WUs in SMP client (A3, etc.) and VM SMP client (-BIGADV)? For example, I wake up in the morning and I'm at 56% in a WU. I tap CTRL+C to stop, do a -configonly to...

Kinda strange that it reports my GPU and SMP folding accurately but not the VM. I deleted the HFM folder in Windows 7 under user/my profile/AppData/Roaming to force all the projects to update including the VM in HFM and that didn't work either. I have no idea what could be causing this except...
