P5B Deluxe SATA IDE to AHCI after Windows install

Back in November I read a post from someone in the forums here that explained how to use AHCI SATA after installing Windows but I guess the archive monster has eaten it. Anyway, as I remember it, it goes something like this: 1. Install Windows on boot drive attched to ICH8R in IDE mode 2...

nVidia noob temp/perf questions

I am relatively new to the nVidia world having ATI cards for years. I recently bought an XFX 7950GT (the one with no fan and big heatpipes) because I want a quiet rig. Temperatures inside the case (Mobo, CPU, HDs) are within normal limits with no intake fan (a little on the warm side but...

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

I was just about to suggest to Barry what realtrance did. I have had 3 different Antec Neo HE PSUs and all were incompatible with my ATI All In Wonder 9800 Pro. If I disconnected the power connector from the video card the system would try to boot but then fail because the video card required...

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

Hi excalibur, Earlier this year my system started rebooting at random times and after removing one part after another I still didn't narrow it down. I eventually figured the mobo was at fault even though I didn't see any bad caps or anything. Well, I built out the system and all seemed fine...

P5B-Deluxe vs. Other Options

To be honest I don't know of any really killer advantages the P5B Deluxe has over P5W-DH but here are some of the reasons why I went with the P5B: P5W costs more and is and older model. P5W has ICH7R southbridge, P5B has ICH8R. 975X doesn't support DDR2 800 natively (965P does). P5B has...

P5B-Deluxe vs. Other Options

The article also states: "The ASUS board is generally stable, but it could still benefit from a few more rounds of BIOS refinement. In fact, all of the 965 boards were less polished and mature than their 975X counterparts". Considering how old this review is I wouldn't put much faith into it...

P5B Deluxe + USB Keyboard?

I have a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse with a transceiver plugged into one of the USB ports on my P5B Dlx. Boot times have been kinda long with the system pausing at the AI Logo screen for about 35 seconds while it "initializes USB ports" or something like that. Anyway, last night...

Trying to install Windows MCE 2005 on P5B Deluxe.

Well, it turns out that my BIOS was very, very old (0507). Once I upgraded to the latest (0804) the install went smooth.

Trying to install Windows MCE 2005 on P5B Deluxe.

I am trying to clean install Windows MCE 2005 on my P5B Deluxe based system and running into some trouble. I have 2 SATA drives (one WD5000KS with 2 partitions (boot/data) and one Seagate 7200.8 for backup) but they aren't configured for RAID, just SATA. When I start installing Windows in blue...

XFX 7900GS Fan Noise

So, I got my new PC all up and running last night and it's great. The only thing that kinda bothers me is the fan noise of the video card (XFX PVT71PUDE3 7900GS). It's not terribly loud but it is kind of annoying. It sounds like the fan is scraping up against the plastic housing or the PCB...

ASUS P5B Deluxe PCB Color?

Hmm... well, I just got my P5B Deluxe from Newegg today and it is the same dark brown color it was at Fry's. This is different from the light brown of the P5B (non-deluxe) and would account for the photos looking black but isn't actually black. Thanks anyway. :) Richard

ASUS P5B Deluxe PCB Color?

Can someone tell me what color the PCB the P5B Deluxe has? I was at Fry's today and the one on display was brown but the photos from Newegg look more like black. :confused: Thanks, Richard

Computer desk ideas

I'm curious as to what you decided on. I too am looking for a computer workstation that is just flat. As to your question about the Jerker, it is pretty cool. I had one once for about it week. It was very sturdy but the one thing that bugged me was that it was 35" deep (which is pretty...
